Arrival Story:
Sadly, Spike recently has gone to the Rainbow Bridge...but we are all confident that he is being just as annoying and wonderful there as he ever was here, with us...so here is his page... Spike is a rescue....we had a lonely Aussie at the time, Freddie, who is now at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for us, who desperately needed a friend. Off to the SPCA we went and there was "Bosco", quickly renamed "Spike".....he was a ten month old pack of personality gone wild.... He's the smallest of the pack but he has no clue. He thinks he's the alpha, and of course he isn't....in fact he's at the bottom, or maybe below the bottom, of the totem pole. Heck, even puppies coming in ignore him. Now that he's gotten older he also seems to have constant gastro intestinal distress, hence the nickname "Stinky"...but everyone loves Spike. He's obnoxios, demanding, smelly, whiney, and as cute as hell.... Did I mention that he's also the biggest Boston you'll ever meet. Well, in his old age he's downsized, but at his prime he was an easy 30 lbs and not an inch of fat. Our vet always teases and says Spike is the only Boston he knows on steroids.... One of my sons is so in love with him that he plans to have him cloned, lest the world ever be without a "Spike"!

Bio:
Josh, the son who wants to clone Spike revels in taking awful photos of him. The one posted we call "demon dog".....but he really isn't....well......
