Gibson - New Name, New Life

Time for a Forever Home Friday feature, our favourite feel good day showing how much joy our adopted pups bring. Today featuring this cutie in the words of his pawrents:

 

This is our new boy, Gibson. He wasn’t always Gibson; he wasn’t always

our boy. But now he’s both of those things, and we couldn’t be

happier.

 

Gibson was originally christened Diego. He wasn’t a Diego, at all. His

original owners apparently decided to get rid of him after an incident

when he didn’t want to share his dinner with a random child, and let

his opinion be known perhaps a little too obviously.

 

He is now coming up to three years old, the prime of life, and he

seems to bear no one any ill will, despite his background. Gibson is

the sweetest, most loving, loyal and amusing companion it is possible

to imagine.

 

Gibson isn’t our first Boston, and he shares many traits with his

much-missed predecessor. He loves to be near us; he’s hugely

inquisitive; he can be swayed by treats; he is small and glossy and

friendly to everyone. On the other hand, he’s no great admirer of

squirrels, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and the like. But Gibson

also tries to corral cows and horses, which we could prefer he didn’t.

And he doesn’t mind water and mud, which our carpets are discovering.

 

We were told he had a problem with big dogs, especially black ones,

and loved to sleep in his cage. Neither of these appears to be true.

He does hate motorcyclists, and runs at them barking furiously, which

can be a problem if we switch off when walking by a main road.

 

But Gibson is a hugely positive addition to our household: endlessly

entertaining, full of love, easy to care for and a new best friend to

everyone he meets. Our thanks have to go to all the hard-working

volunteers at UK Boston Terrier Rescue for all their commitment and

care: we genuinely could not be happier with our new boy.
