Mac — one of the “Mystery Pups” — is the first to get his own house!
After spending his first three months in a puppy pen with his brothers Boris and Raffie, Aliy made the decision that it was time for the lad to have a place of his own. “He’s a little bigger and stronger than his brothers,” Aliy explained, “and he was being a bit of a bully with them. We don’t want that kind of behavior taking root in his personality, so we’ve given him some space.” It appears that young Mac may be taking after his namesake — tennis pro John McEnroe — by being a bit of a “bad boy”… Though certainly not a bad dog!
When asked about being described as a bad boy, Mac responded, “It’s a totally bad call by the ref. I mean come on! There wasn’t even any dust! I hardly ever touched them, and if there’s a line I never got anywhere near it! How can she not see that! It’s a tough game we’re playing here. I’m the best sled dog of my generation, and they all know it. They’re the ones who were always coming after me. All I ever did was play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. And they call me a bad boy? We’ll just see about that.” Mac was then led away from the press conference by his manager and has been unavailable for comment since.
We’ve scheduled to shoot a whole bunch of puppy stuff tomorrow, so stay tuned for all the stories, drama and intrigue… Film at eleven!
Love the Mac saga. Can't wait for the whole story as to how he and his brothers came about! He's beautiful, by the way!
Hi
I really got a kick out of your post about Mac. He looks so somber sitting at his dog house all by himself. This may have been more than he bargained for! But what a great face the big boy has.
It is so amazing how each dog is known and cared for at the kennel. I feel plenty busy doing nails, ears and teeth three times a week for my two!
He is still so young. Will he get puppy playing time in every day still?
Oh, don't worry!… Mac gets PLENTY of puppy play time. In fact, since his new house is right up next to the human house, he actually gets much more play time and attention than his siblings. So, don't feel too badly for the kid. Plus, we take all the puppies out for a walk/romp every day… Usually with a nanny like Stella or one of the other mature dogs. Believe me, being a puppy as SP Kennel is a pretty sweet gig… Even if you are a "bad boy."
