Our Dogs

Our dog is Mac.  Actually, his full name is Macdonald Cornelius Schuck Ginsburg IV.  In case you were curious.

He was named after a character on one of the funniest shows EVER, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  His favorite holidays are Passover and St. Patrick’s Day.

We had planned to get him a week before we actually did and were throwing around dog names.  Having just finished an awesome episode of Sunny, Shane tossed out Dee, Charlie, and finally Mac.  Mac’s a great name for a dog and we highly recommend it.  We call him Macker (mostly), Mackey, Mackerole, Casserole, and Poopy (no explanation needed).

Mac has two styles: puppy and old man.  On the home page is old man.  In his St. Patty’s hankie is puppy.  He looks puppy when we have just gotten him groomed.  I prefer him shaggy, but what can ya do?  The little guy’s fur would grow forever.

Macker enjoys rawhides, fuzzy socks, long walks/runs, “killing” Daddy, and talking – boy he is a talker.  He has a very distinctive voice.  Mind you, he doesn’t know ALL the words in the English language, but that’s no matter; if he doesn’t know the right word, he’ll just substitute boof.  As in, “Mommy, I went to the boofer to get boofed.”  I know that means “groomer to get groomed,” but it takes some time to translate if you don’t speak Mackish fluently.

More Mac updates to come – ain’t he just the sweetest thang?!

We also have another dog now!  What?!  We’re crazy.  To insanity and beyond.

Charles Augustus Schuck Ginsburg X joined our family in May of 2010.  He’s shaggy but a cuddlebug.  He talks like an old black man.  We’re not racist or ageist…that’s just the way he talks, sorry!

Ain’t he somethin?
