Bobby and Cindy Phillips, Kings Mountain, North Carolina

This is our aptly named dog, Boss.  He definitely calls the shots around the house!  Boss is "supposed" to be Clay's dog, but I think when Clay graduates from college and moves out on his own, we'll just buy him another dog as a graduation present!  

Clay wanted a Boston Terrier because he had decided to attend Wofford College.  Wofford's mascot is the Boston Terrier.  Boss is named for one of Clay's favorite bands, The Mighty Mighty Bostones.  However, he's become affectionately known as "Bubba."  

Boss has really become an important member of the family and has helped to ease the empty nest syndrome.  He demands so much attention it's almost like having a toddler around!  Actually, he gives much more than he demands.  Neither Cindy nor I ever thought we'd love a dog, the way we do "Bubba."   (Click the pictures below for a better view.)

Bubba and his "cousin" Obie.  Bubba is the handsome one at the top of the screen.    

What?  Me Worry?
