Where to start...





So, after reading many other blogs and with some convincing from a friend, thanks Jenna!, I have decided to start a blog.


Now most blogs that I read are very intersting and all jazzed up with tons of pics, videos and whatnot, but I can't promise mine will be that intersting, at least not all of the time or to start off with.




So I was thinking of what to post first. I think I will start with something that means alot to me and Matt, our puppy Macie. Well actually she just turned 1 about two weeks ago, but technically I think that dogs are puppies even up until about 2 years old. At least she still acts like a puppy alot, even if she isn't technically still considered one. Just last night she kept going into our room and finding all sorts of things to try to chew up. I had to take away my ziploc with my eye drops in it, and also some chapstick she had gotten. I can't tell you how many things she has chewed up. thankfully nothing too expesive or sentimental, but some that have caused a big headache.


but nonetheless we love our "puppy" so much and our lives wouldn't be the same without her.


One thing I really about having Macie, is how much Matt adores her. Matt grew up with 2 cats, that his family had for about 15-16 years, but he never had a dog, before now. I grew up with 4 dogs, with my parents still having 2 of those, so I have always had a love for dogs as well as just about every other animal.


But I love to watch Matt and Macie play. He has the biggest smile on his face, well most of the time :), and constantly tells her how cute she is. He loves taking her on afternoon walks after school, before I have gotten home. He even has become so much of a softy wiht her that she is not only allowed upstairs most of the time, but she even gets on the bed, which I never thought he would allow.


So I thought I would make this my first post and even try out posting my first pics of Macie.


From 2 months to a year old, we couldn't live without her.


She is our "child" for now.

Yeah! Welcome to the blogosphere! I am so glad you made a blog!

I think Macie is the sweetest dog! And, you know, she will be great practice for kids. Our first "kids" were two sweet little chihuahuas. I think after surviving the challenges of puppies, babies are a piece of cake!
