he can jump really high and "talks" when he wants something.

Arrival Story:
We drove to Dale, TX in flash floods and thunderstorms so we could take him home before Thanksgiving, and boy was it worth it. He is a handful but we adore him anyway.

Bio:
When B was 10 months old, he managed to eat a spool of thread, and consequently had to have exploratory intestinal surgery. He seemed to be doing fine, but some of his internal stitches opened up, and they had to go back in. This all took about three weeks, and by the end, he was so skinny and weak and depressed that the vets didn't think he would make it. We finally took him home, figuring it would be better for him to be with us during his last moments than in a cage somewhere else, and waited. But miraculously enough, he turned the corner, from barely being able to walk or eat at 12 pounds, to being hyperactive and "crazy" at 16 pounds in a matter of weeks. He's our "wonder boy", $6,000 and countless tears and sleepless nights later. Bostons are crafty and will eat whatever they can find... you really have to keep an eye on them and make sure not to leave anything where they can get it. Don't let this tragedy happen to you!! We are really lucky to have him with us, and don't take one moment for granted.
