Macy has only been here for a few hours but she is a wonderful dog. She has the typical golden personality (love me, pet me!). She was a little grumbly with my resident dog Sophie and my other foster Neighbor (09-156) but things are settling down. Macy just loves my son and they are spending time hanging this evening (as you can see in the photo) and de-stressing. When we went outside tonight Neighbor was kissing Macy's ears and she was fine with that attention. She loves kids and adults alike. The SO suggested given her anxiety over other dogs that she would probably be a great "only" dog. She doesn't like fireworks or guns. She doesn't like to swim. She walks very well on a leash and is completely housetrained.Memorial Day is Macy's anniversary adoption date, and we are celebrating 5 years with her! We adopted her when she was nearly 8, and this August, she will be 13.
Macy is doing well and is still happy and healthy. She is a regular at spring and summer baseball and soccer games. She is a bit less active with the little dogs she meets there, but her appreciation for them is still seen in a twinkle in her eye.
Favorite activities are rolling (and rolling and rolling) in the grass, hunting down (endlessly) the chipmunk that hangs out in our front yard (and runs up the gutter when she comes outside), lounging on the bed during family movies, and meeting people during a couple of now shorter walks each day.
She had two surgeries this year, one to remove an infected lump on her back and one to remove a small lump on her eyelid (which was irritating her eye). She came thru both surgeries really well and recovered quickly. She has no health problems.
Her new love is a friend who dog-sat one weekend while we were away. Macy cries with joy when Jill visits, because she adores her. They have a great relationship. :)
Photos are Macy in her usual pose, pancake flat on the floor, and one with "mom." She is a real joy and we so much appreciate all of you who allowed her to be a part of our family.
