My name is
Mateer's Legendary Lakota.

Gettin' Ready For The Puppy Match ~

These are my 9 week old photos.

"Happiness is relaxing on the sofa".

I am the son of Mateer's Lakota Legend.

Don't you think I'm cute?

This is my sleepy photo ~

Just Hangin' Out ~

I am really a good puppy.
So far, I've only eaten one magazine.
I shredded it into confetti ~ Yikes!
I also thought
my Dad's boot laces
were pretty tasty.
Now I only chew my toys, though.
I really try hard to follow the rules.

Here I am getting into trouble ~

Here I am in BIG trouble ~

Here I am being a good puppy ~

Here I am with my head in Bodey Be's mouth ~

This is my favorite place in the whole world ~

This is my BIG sleepy Yawn ~

Time for my puppy nap ~

	MATEER'S LAKOTA LEGEND

Feared and hated by men the world over,
the mighty wolf has been plagued
by all forms of evil stories,
myths and legends.
Hunted, trapped and killed
to the point of extinction,
many of these majestic animals
are gone forever ~
their breeds and blood lines
never to be seen again.
In spite of the many horror stories
of wolves hunting, tracking
and killing humans,
no such event has ever been confirmed.
Their eerie and lonely howl,
which can make the blood run cold,
is merely their form of communication.
Each howl, with its tone, depth, length
and frequency carries
a different message to the pack,
or to the partner who is out of sight.
They're merely "talking".

If you carry wolf medicine,
here are some characteristics
that should sound
familiar to you.
You are fiercely loyal ~
to friends, family,
ideals and principles.

There is no compromise for you.

You are very territorial.
You protect all that is yours
and your family's
at any expense.

You are fearless in your protection,
but not reckless.

You plan your strategy carefully,
and wait for the opportune moment
for most powerful effect.

You have a strong family structure.

There is no doubt who the elders,
patriarchs and parents are,
or about their roles in the family structure.

Disobedience, selfishness
and unruly behavior
is not tolerated as there are
strong boundaries for the young.
They are taught well and carefully
so that they may
assume leadership roles
in their own family structures.

You have an unrelenting sense of adventure.

You love to explore new things,
to stretch out for new horizons.

You have a thirst for knowledge
and for learning new things.
You are eager to share these things,
which makes you a natural teacher.
Your adventures may take you away
from home and family,
but it is important that you
have this base of security
to return to.

You have an unrelenting need to be alone.
You are so busy being the protector,
the provider, the teacher, and the trailblazer,
that it's very easy for you
to become
exhausted and burned out.

In order to re-charge your spirit,
and keep your balance,
it is critical that you have time
to be alone with your thoughts
and your own sense of self.
This is one side of your nature
that must not be overlooked.
Even if you only lock yourself in the bedroom
for 15 minutes a day,
the time alone must be honored
if you are to have value
to those you care for.

It is important
that you spend time
alone with nature.

Wolf is power.
Wolf is honor.
Wolf is integrity.

Brother Wolf; Sister Wolf ~
We honor you

Walk gently upon the earth.
