Her name is Macee

July 11th, 2012 | 23 Comments

I haven’t been able to post much lately because my hands have been full. We have added a new member to our family. Her name is Macee and she’s a 12 week old Boxer. We purchased her from a dog breeder in South Dakota and my wife met her sister half way between Rapid City and Minot to pick her up. Below is a pic of our wonderful new companion.

Macee Mae Carey

Our Dachshund is not sure what to think of her. He’s an aggressive and stubborn little German. She’s on the other hand is quiet and passive. He has established boundaries which means everything in the house and the backyard to include his parents belongs to him and he let’s her know. He has imposed his will on her and she has acquiesced to it. With some work and patience I believe she is going to be a well trained, loving friend for many years to come.

Every now and then change is a very needed thing. We need to break free from the same routine, the same daily grind and step outside of the troubled world we live in to embrace something simple and pure. For me all I need is the smell of puppy breath and big brown soft eyes that look at you with unconditional love. I’ve always believed that people can learn a great deal from dogs. A dog loves you no matter your faults. A dog does not judge you. And a dog will remain loyal to you even when let them down. Unconditional love is the key and Macee reminds me that the simple things in life can bring great joy and peace to the heart.

Life is good!

Now only if I can teach my Dachshund the same life lesson…

Liberty forever, freedom for all

  Thanks Larry. She is a dark brindle Boxer and she’s an absolute doll. Watching here do and see things for the first time is amazing. Like I said, simple and pure.

What a wonderful story on these rather grim days. A reminder of what this thing called life is all about. Much success.

  Thanks Bunker. Sometimes we get so caught up in all the crap we lose sight of the simple and pure things about life.

  Thanks Teresa. My dachshund and Macee appear to have signed a peace treaty. They played with each other the first time tonight. It was great to see them run around the house. She’s so clumsy…too funny.

She’s beautiful, John! And your right, there is nothing quite like the unconditional love and happy companionship of a dog (or cat, for that matter).

  Thanks Fuzzy. My one cat is having issues and the other is good to go. The cat that is having issues is the oldest family member (Dooley) and he believes he has seniority over them all. He smacked her pretty good the first night.

She’s adorable. I have a brindle mutt one of whose parents is purported to be a boxer.

This was a nice relief to read after the news of the day. I’m just glad you didn’t get a Portuguese Water Dog and name it J.C.

Your Dachshund will try to re-militarize the Rhineland before he finally gives in to Macee. I’ve known a few weiner dogs. They’re tough little buggers.

  He is indeed a tough and stubborn little German. He let’s her know just who is in charge…and it’s not her.
