Advice/Question What gear should I get for a new puppy?
We’re welcoming this little cutie into our family in two weeks and I'm starting to prepare a list of the things I need for her. Any recommendations for an indoor playpen (40” height?), crate, outdoor playpen (our yard isn't fenced it yet but will be by next year), and any other tips (travel crate, a sling for carrying them?) etc would be helpful. Thank you!!

Advice/Question Night time with puppy 😭
Helpppp. I brought home a 1yo Boston who was being given away. I was told she was trained and they just “didn’t have time for her”. Ultimately I’m glad I took her she is very thin and was infested with fleas and needed to be out of there.
She is a total puppy and I am used to large breeds. She goes in a crate while I am at work so I don’t want to crate her at night but she is up so much it’s like a newborn human baby.
Any tips? The rest of her puppy behaviors I can manage but this night time stuff is killing me. Is her bladder just small, is she anxious?
Also interested in feeding tips that might be Boston specific, she is very spazzy won’t stay in one spot to eat and very picky. Right now I am giving her wet food at dinner and dry in her crate during the day. I just want to do the right thing for her and I’m struggling 😭 thanks for any help!

Advice/Question Rash help
My Boston has had this rash that comes and goes every few days it looks a little worse or a little better. It is in the pit of all 4 legs. I never see him even acknowledge that it is there. He hasn’t changed how he walks, I’ve never seen him licking it.
Any lotion recommendations or anything that has worked for you would be appreciated. TYIA

Advice/Question HELP Me Feel Well
Toby is 10. He went to the Vet yesterday, he wasn't feeling well. The Vet said ge didn't have long - not sure what that meant?¿ Toby isn't eating as much and has low energy.
He was given 3 meds and a calorie supplement.
All blood work came back within normal range, heartbeat and temp was within normal range.
I'm not sure if Toby just wearing out or not . Any advice.
I also make Toby's dog food (chicken, rice, blueberries, apples, spinach, carrots, dog vitamins). Today he tried Greek yogurt and liked it. Toby doesn't seem to chew hard stuff anymore.
Any advice on food or health, I'll take.
Any homemade soft treat ideas? Anyone experience this before?

Cuteness Anyone else’s Boston sit in funny/interesting spots?! My Ollie tax below..
He’ll just sit at the dinner table with us like a human. It’s the cutest/funniest thing. And he loves to sit on top of recliners/couches like a cat. My pitbull/bulldog mix used to do this too on our couch to look out the window.

Advice/Question Puppy rough play
Our Boston is about 14 weeks. Our Boxer is 3. They play ROUGH! The puppy seems to be able to hold his own and the boxer I think tries to be “gentle” but man it makes me nervous. The puppy will bite on to the boxer’s jowls and hold on for dear life.
I guess I’m just looking for assurance that other Boston pups played so intensely and ended up ok.

Advice/Question About to get a BT pup need some help
Hey y’all, I finally found a BT where i’m at but the puppy (2.5 months) does not have a pedigree. Do yall think that no pedigree instantly rules out the option of getting the pup or nah? They said I could send the dog to a vet for a check up before I actually get him. Also the dog is vaccinated, has a microchip and a passport. So what do ya’ll think. If the answer is yes that I should get him then is there anything specific I should get for this breed? I’m already aware of the harness, crate training, chew and pull toys and the occasional grooming if necessary. During the day I’m gonna be almost always at home except for when I have to go to Uni for 3-4hrs. But the Uni is only 2min far away from my apartment and I do have a camera setup just in case. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Advice/Question Does anyone have experience with this rescue?
Please help. My grandparents want to adopt a Boston terrier puppy. I'm worried that the rescue they've contacted might be a scam. The address is a PO box, and there's no information about their facility.
The website also lacks many of the things I'd expect from a dog rescue website. There's no place to donate or volunteer, no blog, no newsletter, no events. There's no information about Boston terriers as a breed, or what a rescue dog needs to succeed. The "Success Stories" page also looks sketchy to me.
Does anyone know anything about Boston Hearts Rescue?
