My Irish Terrier

HUP!

2009-06-28T14:43:00.001-05:00

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's Super Keegan. The amazing nose ID's a squirrel through solid concrete. Those bionic ears sense imminent danger. That streamlined body is able to leap fallen logs in a single bound.

Terrier Turns Three

2009-03-02T15:13:00.005-05:00

Our Keegan Macree, he is now three
Fast, funny, friendly, and fancy-free.
Needs his daily race,
(Has to, or he'll pace.)
No Irish couch potato I'll be!

Keegan gets settled for the Steeler game on a pile of warm laundry fresh out of the dryer.

Eager to party the Irish way.

Still biting at shoes,
Shamelessly stealing the towels in play.

Looking back to the fall of 2006, Keegan and Achilles, a Great Dane puppy, romp at Misty Pines after puppy class

Where did all these leaves come from?

Keegan Macree is not at all mean,
But goblins he sees this Howl-o-ween.
He will race to the door,
He will beat me there sure
And cause all the poor children to scream.

Happy Howloween!

Best Friend

2006-07-20T14:32:00.000-05:00

July 20, 2006. At five months old, Keegan is full of energy and curiosity. He is enjoying his puppy classes and the agility obstacles. He is a casual observer, studies everything, and is a true engineer at heart. He is sweet, lovable, beguiling, smart and funny. He makes us laugh and he keeps us on our toes. In three short months, Keegan has become a wonderful friend and companion. We hope he feels the same way about us.

The Tale of Keegan Macree

2006-05-03T11:43:00.000-05:00

There once was a quiet small town girl
Found a boy who gave her heart a twirl,
Just imagine their luck
Opportunity struck,
Terrier Keegan Macree makes three!

The Luck of the Irish

2006-05-01T20:32:00.000-05:00

The "Look" of the Irish - Keegan Macree. Anyone who has ever owned an Irish knows that look. Keegan is an Irish name meaning "little fiery one." What are we thinking! Tall tales will be told of his Great Escape. It's the stuff legends are made of. More on that later (I got that from my sister Kanela, the humor columnist. It's called a tease.) Macree is an Irish term of endearment meaning "my heart." He has already captured ours.

Never Say Goodbye

2006-05-01T20:29:00.000-05:00

Powell prepares to leave the nest. Dunloe Irish Terrier breeders Amy and Bernie and mom Derry, as well as Uncle Rufus and Auntie Bridie did a great job raising these little pups. He is ready to take on the world...with a lot of love and attention from his new people.

The Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

The Puppy Formerly Known as Powell

2006-05-01T20:25:00.000-05:00

The puppy formerly known as Powell takes one last nap with his brother, the puppy formerly known as McGuire. Powell, aka Keegan, is the one on the bottom of the pile.

Break Time

Tim and Keegan ran like the wind. Well, let's say Keegan ran like the wind. Tim was just winded. Keegan is preparing for his agility training. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. He still needs to pass Housetraining 101.

Life is a Game

2006-05-01T20:01:00.000-05:00

Life is a Game is the Motto of the Irish Terrier

Life is a game. Play hard. This is the motto of the Irish Terrier. Everything in his new home is fun and exciting. His people are fascinating to watch. Keegan's new toy keeps him entertained and keeps his teeth off of our furniture. Why are puppy teeth so sharp?
