Ottawa Dog of the Week for April 15th

My dog is Nibbler. He is a 14 month old Boston terrier. Nibs is named after nibbler the alien on futurama, because they kind of look alike! He is tonnes of fun and a bundle of energy. He loves everyone he meets, animal or human.

His favourite things are playing at Bruce pit, going to daycare once a week, chewing on a water buffalo bully stick (he has allergies) learning new things at obedience class and rally-o, sucking on his stuffed piggy, and napping tunneled under the covers.

He is very smart, but can be stubborn at times! He has his own Twitter account, @nibblernibbler, with over a thousand followers from Ottawa and around the world!

He is an all round great pup!

“Here is our Lexi, the newest addition to the family! We purchased her last winter and she is getting used to our crazy household. Don’t let Lexi’s innocent face fool you, she is full of vim and vigar but always a happy, active girl.. We loved her from the moment we saw her at Bayshore Pet Store. The markings for our 9 month old Boston Terrier are beautiful. Her best friend is Sophie, our 6 year old Pug, but Lexi tries to rule the Roost at times but Sophie still puts up a good fight.. Lexi loves to be around people and loves to run and play outdoors. She can never get enough long walks and is very good in the car, for our drives over to Bruce Pit. Also enclosed is a picture of Sophie, when she is happiest!. (ie, Lexi not bothering her)

“Ella is a 17 month old Boston Terrier. She came to us from Hornerbrook Reg’d in Harrowsmith, ON. Ella’s a social butterfly, and loves nothing more than to meet new people and dogs -especially when it involves an early morning trip out to Bruce Pit or to see her friends at Petsmart. Her human friends joke that she’s a big flirt because of how submissive she is when she meets a new dog. Ella loves to pose for the camera and you can see lots more photos of her on her OWN blog here.” Ella’s human, Andrew.

“Nautica is a 13 month old Boston Terror, ooops, Terrier. She is a small dog with a HUGE personality. She is infamous in our neighbourhood for the love and attention she gives to everyone she meets, her body literally shakes with excitement at the sight of a stranger. Her favourite things include stealing shoes, shredding papers and documents and car rides in which she can ride shot gun. Nautica has a stubborn streak which prevents her from following directions and ultimately may lead to her failing obedience school exam this weekend. However, she has come a LOOOONG way since the classes started. For someone who has so much energy and ‘naughtiness’ in her, she is a wonderful and caring soul. Our ferrets have been known to climb into her crate and cuddle up with her, which is surprising since terriers should have a hunting instinct. She is a wonderful addition to our family…whether or not she passes obedience school…

…An update: Nautica did pass obedience school and got “most improved” ” – Nautica’s Human, Gosia
