Take a Break!

Keegan Macree with sand on his face
Thinks surely there is no better place.
Vacations are so fun,
All our worries are gone,
Yes we agree, paws down, in this case!


After a long walk on the beach, Keegan takes a break.

OBX

Keegan Macree amazed by the sea,
Small, brave, and mighty as he can be.
Lovely little red dog
Can get lost in the fog.
Hold on tightly to me!

Best Friend

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.

Dog Days

These are the dog days of summer.

New Friends

Memorial Day, May 29, 2006. Our niece, Jessica, and Keegan on the front lawn in Eldora, PA. Jessica just returned from a thrilling semester in Austria. We all enjoyed the tales of her adventures and photos of her travels. This is the first time she and Keegan have met.

Memories

What a Face!

That face, that face, that loveable face...

The Tale of Keegan Macree

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

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

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

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.

Puppy's First Nap

Keegan takes his first puppy nap in his new home. He was tuckered out from all the fun.

Hello World

Tammy and Keegan sitting on the front porch watching the world go by. People just can't resist saying hello to a cute little puppy!

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

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?
