My Boston Terriers
This portrait of my dogs was painted by Jarrod Elder of Jonesboro, AR, and given to me as a Christmas gift by my niece, Jackie Rutherford. My dogs' names are Jackson Hamlet (a black & white male, aka "Jack," "Jackie Poo," or "Jack Jack") and Isabella Grace (red & white female, aka as "Bella" or "Bellie").
Jackson is 5 months older than Bella and is a pureblood, registered Boston Terrier. Bella is mudblood (if you watch Harry Potter). Red and white colors on a Boston Terrier is considered a defect and can not be shown in competitions. Bella does not care one rip! I can't tell you how much I regret not naming her Lucy (after the great red-head, Lucille Ball) or Jill (so I can refer to them as Jack & Jill). These two are comical, very food motivated, and have the greatest personalities. Boston Terriers are the best little dogs!
