The Boston terrier breed originated around 1875, when Robert C. Hooper of Boston purchased from Edward Burnett a dog named Judge (known later as Hooper’s Judge), which was of a bull and terrier type lineage. … The American Kennel Club cites Hooper’s Judge as the ancestor of all true modern Boston Terriers.
It’s very appropriate that this adorable furry friend should greet you on Memorial Day 2020. The Boston Terrier is a lively little companion recognized by his tight tuxedo jacket, sporty but compact body, and the friendly glow in his big, round eyes. His impeccable manners have earned him the nickname “The American Gentleman.”
Our TazE brings us such joy. We bought her from a breeder in Indiana after seeing her with her four siblings in a picture on-line. We were going to name her “Angel,” but then we met her two weeks later when she was delivered to us by a http://www.U-Ship.com helper. (That’s a story I wrote about a couple of years ago on JanBeek at https://janbeek.blog/2018/08/26/a-love-affair-with-bostons/)
Meeting her, seeing her bounce and be in constant motion, we realized she was no “Angel.” With the help of our son’s creative advice, we named her “Taz” (for the Tasmanian Devil) and “E” the ears that dominated her presence. She has calmed down now. Her sweet soul kept me company today and helped me have a very Happy Memorial Day weekend. I hope you had one, too.
On behalf of our sweet TazE (notice how she is turning white around her eyes as she ages) – and us (the 2Beeks) we wish you a very meaningful Memorial Day evening. God bless you, dear friends.
Did you have a memorable Memorial Day weekend?
Tell me about it.
See ya tomorrow.

Love that pup!
Yes, she is certainly a lovable pup! <3
Good morning, Jan, just reading this Tuesday. Your Taz is adorable. Our boys and I are praying for a rescue dog to become part of our family when God deems the time. Oh and thank you so much for that photo of the antelope. I shared it with Jason last night. Love in Christ, Julie
Ah, I hope you find the perfect rescue dog. You’ll be the answer to joy for that pup who will bring you joy in double measure! Glad you were able to see Annie. That is the Antelope you met here, right?
Jan, thank you so much. You actually emailed me a pic of the antelope. You were feeding her milk from a measuring cup 🙂
Ah yes! That was Annie. We were feeding her Cheerios!
Thanks Jan for sharing this wonderful companion! TazE is a marvelous example of Hoosier hospitality transplanted under the Big Sky.
