Hi Everyone!

It has been a great year and a bit of a milestone for me and the kennel - 40 years! I would like to send out a big thank you to all of you who have made MacKye a home away from home for your pets, I appreciate you and your trust in me.

I wanted to share one last reminder that I will be on my Winter Break soon. The kennel will be closed November 5 and will reopen on March 2, 2026 - I will be taking Spring break and Easter reservations in February. See you in 2026!

Take Care,
Joanne Laurin

Hi Everyone,

As yearend nears, I would like to take time to share with you the loss of two very wonderful and very dear dogs - BO, a Maremma mix and ARI, a Boston Terrier. Both were longtime visitors. I met them as young dogs and continued to care for them into old age. Sitting here, thinking of them and all the years of knowing these handsome boys, I find myself reflecting on time - timing and the passing of time.

Bo had a hard time. He was lost or dumped on a road, but as timing can go, Bo was rescued by his forever Dad and lived happily ever after with his best family ever and his best mate ever. Bo was fun and funny, and he truly was a joy to care for. Soft and easygoing and smart too, Bo always deferred to his Queen, Darby. He was just a great dog, and he had a heart that matched that big body of his. I loved and admired him so much. It was heartbreaking saying goodbye for the last time. My deepest condolences to the McQuay Family.

I was introduced to Boston Terriers when I was young, lots of them and I thought that they were crazy great. Meeting Ari years later, crazy did not come to mind at all but great sure did! He had such a cool, chill vibe and I thought that he had the most gorgeous face. In the beginning, Ari came solo and made lots of friends and then, a couple of years ago, he brought his new mate, Lloyd. I saw the boys this summer. I didn't know that it would be Ari's last holiday with us, and I am so glad that I got to see the little guy one last time. Ari was adorable. My deepest condolences to the Zukowski Family.

Take Care, sending love and hugs
Joanne

A lifetime of Love and Dedication

It was 1978, I was 16 years old and I remember coming around that last bend in the road and seeing the kennel for the first time - it took my breath away and I was beyond excited. Dogs and horses were my life and love - helping my parents raise, train and show - so to see the fields, big barn and dog kennel was a dream come true for me. I had no idea at the time the kennel would become my destiny, that my brother and I would purchase it in 1985. It’s now 2019, there have been changes to the landscape, buildings and pets - one of the fields our horses ran through is overgrown, the cotton wood that towered over the old farmhouse is gone, wood siding has been replaced with vinyl and beloved pets are no more - when I come around that last bend though, I still see beauty and know that there are faces waiting to see mine and I’m still so excited to see theirs!
