Let me introduce to you – Fred, Freddie, Fredster. Freddie is a 4-year-old, house trained,
neutered boston terrier. He is crate trained but he does not care to be in there and will cry a little
when you first put him in. Although, I no longer put him the kennel when I leave since he is such
a good boy while we are gone. Freddie is a lover boy who just wants to be as close to you as
possible. If you are sitting on the couch, he is in your lap or draped over you. If you are in bed,
he is up at your shoulders, curled up as close to you as he can get. Freddie’s favorite toy is his
rope with a ball at each end. He will run after it as long as you want to throw it for him. Squeaky
toys don’t stand a chance with him. While he does love them, he tears them apart in 10.3
seconds! Ropes are the best toys for him and last him quite some time. Freddie does like to
rough house with you, pounce on you, and jump up and would not be good in a home with little
kids. He does like to try and attack the vacuum and the hair dryer when they are on. I do have a
small boston/chi mix that he gets along with but I did a very slow intro with them. Freddie does
seem to be reactive to other dogs that we have been around. They have been big dogs at the
vet, or when my daughter brings her big dog over. So, I am not sure if he is reactive to the size,
or just that they are dogs he doesn’t know. I have no cats so I am not sure how he would be
with them. Freddie does have lots of energy so would do best in a home with someone that will
play with him, take him for walks, and hikes, just being mindful of other dogs around him.
