Macey & BUddy
|
Macey Cheramie is a 21-year-old waitress, fiancée, organic farmer, and mother to many animals. She is also one of my best friends.
She lives in Cut Off, a small town in southern Lafourche Parish, with her fiancé, Dylan Brown (Yes, he is referred to as Farmer Brown on a regular basis), her standard Aussie, Buddy, and her playful kitten, Ivy. childhoodMacey was born and raised in south Louisiana on Bayou Lafourche. Her family owns The Balcony, a restaurant locally known for its home-style cooking and tasteful, fresh seafood. Since she was a little girl, Macey has watched and helped her parents with the family business. She now waitresses there with her childhood best friend, Whitley Lefort.
Whitley and Macey have known each other since they were in the fourth grade. They went to the same schools their entire lives and have always stuck by each other’s side even after graduating. Whitley can recall being around 9 or 10 years old playing dress up with Macey. “She would always want to dress up and make up dances. We would have to dress up her mom’s dog Eddie, too. He had his own part in the dance.” Even as a young girl, Macey had a love for animals. |
relationship goals
Dylan and Macey met at school through mutual friends in early 2012. They have been together ever since and recently got engaged; they are planning to get married sometime next year. They live in a cute farm-style one-bedroom house with plenty of land for their animals. They have an organic garden where Dylan grows all sorts of vegetables likes tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, carrots, onions, green beans.
She and Dylan also own and care for 5 goats, 7 pigs, 9 rabbits (and counting), 11 chickens, 3 ducks, 2 geese, and 3 turkeys. Yes, you read all of that correctly; they basically have an entire farm in their backyard. When Macey isn’t waitressing at The Balcony, she’s either feeding her “outside animals” or playing with Buddy and Ivy. Dylan even said, “I swear, sometimes I think she loves the dog more than me!”

Dog mom role model
When I first got Snoop, I turned to Macey for help. She got Buddy about a year before I adopted Snoop, so she had been through the first few hard months of learning to be a dog mom all on her own. She gave me advice on which brand of food I should get, where I could get natural toys and treats, and tips on how to train Snoop. I admire Macey for how she manages her work life, home life, and mom life. She’s the ultimate dog mom I aspire to be. And Snoop loves his best friend Buddy; he's basically the miniature version of him!
