Top Five Surprises

Being new to the world of blind dogs, fostering Macy has opened my eyes quite a bit, but not in the way that you might think. Sight or no sight, Macy loves so many activities—read on for my list of top five surprises!

1. She walks with confidence.
She loves (loves!) to go on walks. She scampers, plays, and manages to stay on a relatively straight path. No tentative steps for our girl. Somehow, she senses where to go!

2. She does not know a stranger.
Macy loves visitors. She greets them with cheer and accepts their rubs with joy. Everyone who comes to my house falls in love with her, even folks who claim not to love dogs.

3. She likes the company of other dogs.
Rather than thinking of them as a threat, she is a friendly little girl who is interested in playing, snuggling and walking with other canines.

4. She loves house living.
Our house is not particularly easy to navigate: steps in & out and up & down, dogs & visitors, furniture & walls. She easily learned the layout & routine, and settled in with no trouble at all.

5. She really is a cocker.
Macy loves her people and follows her favorite person around the house. She is smart, playful, & sweet, and she bonds very quickly. She is so excited to be part of a family and is eager to please. She really makes everyone happy!
