hehe... that funny:) I would just worry he might get cold if the weather is chilly or the air conditioning is on. Also, the mess to clean if he's muddy.. I wouldn't worry about it if you got the cold part "covered" and don't mind lil paw prints every where:)

HA!!! That's the opposite of my dog. It's finr to take him in, just try not to get him soapy every day because this can cause dry skin. You can give him a soapy shower once a week and you'll be fine!

Bostons love the water! Sure - just don't let his coat dry out ...Then you will get hot spots and other troubles.
Add some oil to his coat - You can take some corn oil and rub your hands and then rub it onto his coat just 1 x per month.
Also, you can add 1 teaspoon of pure salmon oil to his food each day.
Salmon oil can be found at most pet stores.
And don't forget 1 NuVET per day.... see here:

Have fun in the WATER / Shower...
My dogs stay clear of the shower...My Maltese gets beauty treatment too often and HEADS for the HILLS..
My chi , miss priss - will give in and let me bath her just 1 x every other month. She is so clean... she cleans herself like a cat would.

it is okay but he should not get any soap on his eyes. These dogs tend to keep their eyes open while bathing. Also human soap is very bad for them. but just to get in the water and play is ok. I usually turn on the sprinkler very low so he can get in it. But, they are very playful, they are a ton of laughs most of the time you are around them. I love mine alot he is very cool dog.
