and yes, they do get excited, but can be calmed down relatively easily.  Both of mine are very protective, lovable, love to be snuggled with, love to play fetch, just all around good dogs.  It sounds like the owners have not trained the dogs at all.  It also sounds like they may not know what a heat is until they are into the messy part. 

Some dogs will sense when a female is getting ready to go into heat and go nuts and some don't.  I took my male Boston to my MIL about 3 weeks ago and she has a female yorkie.  He would not leave her alone for anything.  We finally just separated the two until we left.  About 2 days later, she called to let us know that she was in heat (thankfully my dog is neutered!).

I am a dog lover to the nth degree.  I love all dogs.  Or so I thought.  My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were going out of town and called and asked if I would dogsit if they brought them over.  I was hesitant because they tend to get on my nerves when I am around them (the boston terriers not my BIL and SIL).  I said I guess.  So here he comes bringing them and they arrive wide open jumping on me and all up in my face, both of them.  I have a beagle of my own who is the ultimate laziest and low key dog you will ever know.  I also have a pit bull who is the kindest gentlest giant ever.  They are both well behaved and have never acted like those dogs do.  The minute my pit bull smelled her he went and was really sniffing her back end more than a dog usually would like she was in heat or something.  So my husband said she isn't in heat is she?  My pitbull is a male.  My BIL said I don't know.  My husband said she lives in the house with you. What do you mean you don't know.  He said well she shouldn't be in heat.  So we blew it off.  Well these dogs drove me nuts.  I mean nuts.  While working at my computer one sat and kept trying to jump in my lap while I was working and would dive up and hit my arm and of course cause me to mess up.  I was furious. I was on the verge of throwing the dog outside.  But it was storming so I didn't.  Then when I went in the living room to take a break and watch TV a few minutes one jumps up in my lap of course and when I went back to work I noticed blood on my pants.  I said oh great she was in heat.  I was ticked off.  I called my BIL and no answer.  I didn't know what to do.  So I loaded them up and took them home to their house where the back door was unlocked and left them with plenty of food and water.  I will just go let them out periodically.  I will be wasting my gas but oh well.  It is about 10 mintues away.  I just had to vent about these annoying little dogs.  I would have never dreamed there was a dog that I didn't like.  I can now say there are 2 dogs I don't like.  What are your experiences with boston terriers? I think it is the fact they won't sit down and are constantly jumping in my face and on my head that makes me annoyed.

Here's a few I've run across in the course of my life...

You can't get a job without experience...but how do you get work experience without a job?

You can't get credit unless you don't need it...but without it how do you get in a position to not need it?

You can't get a date with a hottie unless you're a hottie, but if you try to date people that aren't hotties, they refuse to date you because they want to date a hottie....

Play by the rules, work hard and life will be golden...and when that doesn't work out because lazy rule-breakes stole all the gold, its your fault, you must not have been trying hard enough.

Life isn't fair.  Get used to the idea.  And keep trying anyway.

I got a ticket 4 days before Christmas for having an expired tag (had planned to get it taken care of when my income taxes came in - my fault, but crap, I've been broke the whole year!).  So I got the tag renewed the next day because the cop said they would be looking again after New Year's to write another ticket (have seen that my city has had a 25% increase in tickets written in the last month - like they need the revenue!).  So, all I had for my little one was a PlayDough activity center under the tree $15, and a pink umbrella and some candy in the stocking from Santa.  She was happy, though.

I've had that **??@$ ticket next to my monitor to look at it every day for the last 2 months to remind myself to go before the judge and ask for an extension of paying it until Friday when my check comes in.  I have literally been living paycheck to paycheck, sometimes with only $8 in my account in between.  Well, tomorrow I am scheduled to go to a different court to get a child support order (money I'll never see anyway), and I picked up my big orange folder to put my income tax return in it to take with me.  Guess where I put it?  Yup, right on top of that **??@$ ticket.  Yup, I forgot to go to court last night.  Was being bombarded with emails that my accounts could lose power due to the storm and all MTs needed to empty the systems.  Now there is an arrest warrant out on me.  I talked to a clerk at court and he told me to stay indoors until Friday, then come in and pay to have the warrant removed, then I can get a new date to pay the **??@$ ticket. 

Well, I have to go to CS court tomorrow, but at least it is just a short hop onto the interstate and then quickly out of my city limits.  If I can just make it till Friday, pay the warrant, maybe my karma will start changing.  For the last 15 months, I feel like I am the little kid on Charlie Brown that walks around in a dust cloud.  I have seen the inside of more court rooms in the last year than most people see in their lives with getting custody of GD.  I must have done something really nasty to have this kind of karma for this long.  Oh, well.  They say when you're down, the only way to go is up. At least paying to have the warrant removed is less than the ticket and it gives me another month to come up with the money for that.  I'm so broke, I can't even get drunk to forget my troubles!  Maybe my luck will change by St. Patty's Day   

p.s.  I had to edit this message because I used the word s-t-u-p-i-d to describe that ticket and the website wouldn't let me use it, thus the **??@$ symbols !! 

Who do you really love?  This is not meant to sound rude, but to make you think...if you felt like ending your life and acted upon it because you loved someone so deep but they did not feel the same way, do you think that ending your life is really going to make them love you anymore? No...now you mentioned your mom and family, would they hurt more if something happened to you?  I have entertained thses thoughts before and girl, he is not worth it.  The main ingredient in Love is YOU...you have to love yourself first.  My situation was different but you know, love is love.  We can not make another being love us.  We give them too much power. If he is gay, let that be him sinking in that ship alone.  What I mean by that is to give someone yourself is one of the most precious gifts, but knowing that they are giving to Tom, Thomas and Timothy is very demeaning to you.  No matter how much you want him to touch you, it is good that he isn't.  DISEASES, don't discriminate, nor does death.  Please my friend, listen to your inner feelings/thoughts and know that you will survive, but only if you believe. 

having my DH pull the heavy blanket up over me on cold mornings before he leaves for work.

Also, it is having DH tell me I'm the same girl he married when I complain about my weight.
