Kenny Bahr of Festus took this photo of his wife, Donna, kissing Stymee many years ago, when the dog was 4. Stymee was a female Boston terrier.
“She lived to about 10,” Donna Bahr said. “She died the night before Thanksgiving a few years back. She was a great dog.”
The Bahrs have long been Boston terrier fans.
“We have two Boston terriers now – Betty and Wilma,” she said. “When we had Stymee, we also had Spanky. All have been female.
“Boston terriers are very smart. They’re family-oriented. They like to touch you all the time. When Kenny took this picture, Stymee was so happy.”
She said Stymee had a terrific personality.
“She was a clown,” Donna Bahr said. “She’d do anything to make you laugh.”
She said she prefers female dogs.
“I like females’ dispositions,” she said.
