Alla's belly is starting to look a little full. :-)

Walks and wags

Ms Alla is officially up to 25.2 pounds this morning — that’s another half pound since last week! At this rate, she’s going to be quite the little chunk by the time these puppies arrive… but she’s always been a naturally big, beautiful girl, so we’re perfectly happy to let her keep filling out while making healthy babies. 🐾 She’s also been extra sweet lately and definitely demanding more belly rubs than usual. Safe to say this mama-to-be is soaking up every bit of attention she can get right now. 💕 We can’t wait to meet these babies!

Quick little update on Alla! I realized it had been a bit since I last weighed her, so we did a check this morning—she’s currently 24.8 lbs. She’s always been on the larger, lankier side for a Boston, with those long legs and a more streamlined build (definitely not as stocky or muscular as Dex). Right now, her weight looks absolutely ideal for her frame. If timing lines up, she could be up to about 10 days along at this point, so we’re entering that early “wait and watch” phase. I’ll be keeping a close eye on her weight and overall condition as things progress, but for now she’s looking happy, healthy, and just as spunky as ever. More updates to come as we go—fingers crossed! 🐾

I get asked almost daily if I have a waiting list for puppies… and I’ve decided I no longer do. Here’s why 💕🐾 I used to run a traditional waitlist—applications, order in line, and then working my way down when puppies arrived. Honestly? It was incredibly time consuming and often frustrating. There were people who weren’t quite ready when their turn came, those waiting for a very specific look, and others who were on multiple breeders’ lists and had already found a puppy elsewhere. Some wouldn’t respond at all—even after days—or wouldn’t engage beyond “I want to buy a puppy.” Meanwhile, there were wonderful families ready and waiting who just weren’t in the “right spot” on the list. That never felt right to me. I spend months raising these babies. I pour my heart into them. Letting them go is never easy, and what matters most to me is knowing where they end up. One of my greatest joys is staying connected with my puppy families—watching them grow, getting updates and photos, and knowing they’re deeply loved. They truly remain part of my extended family and heart. Over time, I’ve also had to navigate scammers and people more interested in breeding rights than bringing home a beloved companion. That’s not what I’m about. So I’ve changed my approach. I don’t keep a formal waitlist anymore—I keep what I like to call a “vibe list.” The people who engage, who share their lives, who show me their current dogs, who build a connection with me—those are the homes I feel confident placing my puppies into. Those are the people I know I’ll stay in touch with. If we connect, if I feel comfortable, and I believe my puppies will be part of your life (and I’ll get to watch them grow along the way), you naturally rise to the top. So the short answer is: No, I don’t do a waitlist anymore. I do a vibe list 💕 And I wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️

The magic has begun ✨ Alla and Dex had their special date last night, and if all goes as planned, we’ll be expecting a precious litter in June 26th 🐾💕 (June 24-28)

“Describe your perfect date.” April 25th… because it’s not too hot, not too cold… all you need is a light sweater. Also apparently the perfect date for my Boston Terriers to fall in love 💅🐶 So yes… April 25th = successful matchmaking and we'll have puppies on the way. Stay tuned for tiny sweaters and even tinier snorts. 🐾
