SNOW?



What happened to the grass?

    I don't know if Macy has ever seen/felt snow before.  It did seem like something new to her.  Although she could have just been surprised by the change under her paws.  Macy ran around and around the yard.  Sniffing and putting her nose in the snow.   

    The snow had a crusted ice layer on top of it.  Crunch, crunch, crunch... what is that feeling under my paws.

  True to Macy's amazing personality, it didn't slow her down.  She wanted to go for a walk.  (With an extra coat on because foster mom thought it was a little cold outside.)

A New Friend

Macy and Spargle

    My parents dog, Spargle came to stay with us for the week.  As you can see from the photo Macy has made a new friend.  I think Macy enjoys having another dog around.  Although it needs to be a mellow dog that doesn't mind getting bumped into occasionally.  Macy will bark when she meets a new dog, especially on a leash.  Since she can't see, I think she assumes she is the only one on a leash, is scared and barks.  Macy met Spargle in our fenced in backyard, free to move about.  Macy danced around Spargle, barked a little and that was that.  Everything was good and now they are friends.  They will even nap in the same bed.

Napping after a long walk is a good thing.

New Foster Family

There is just enough room for me next to my new foster mom.

     We welcome the "Amazing Macy" to her new foster home.  We call her amazing because of how normal she functions without sight.  It is the first time I have taken care of a blind dog.  And except for the occasional bump into something, you wouldn't know she can't see.  She is very adaptable.  She came with us to our relatives over the holidays and she had no problem navigating their home and different environment.  People asked are you sure she can't see?  Truly amazing, that's Macy. 

     I know Macy would like to thank her prior foster family.  She is so excited to see them when they come for a visit.   They took such good care of her.  Especially at intake when she was in such pain from her eyes, and her surgeries to correct them.  Licks and Wags from Macy. 

     Macy is still searching for her "forever family".  We know you are out there.

    Woofs and Wags.   

At the Resort!

Macy has had lots of fun experiences as of late—with the most exciting one being that she is living with a new foster!

As her first foster family, we have been honored to help take care of sweet Macy. But as our schedule has now changed (increased travel and a long-term commitment to jury duty), we had to keep Macy's best interests at heart and recognize that she prefers not to be home without her humans all day.

You might think that Macy was sad to leave us, after having been at my side for several months, but I must say that she has taken to life with her new foster with great enthusiasm! It just goes to show how loving and adaptable she is.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that living with her new foster is rather luxurious—she is a girl after my own heart! She really is loving the attention of being an only dog. I would not mind being a guest at this "Canine Resort," myself!

I was confident that Macy would love her new foster, and the first photo that I received just proved my point in spades:

Yep, I am just fine snuggling here.

And she has become more and more comfortable with time:

Time for a nice stretch...

Of course, the fashion does not stop with the pink blanket & fun toys:

Why, thank you! I think this coat is fabulous, too!

We all continue to be so impressed by Macy because, despite everything that she has gone through, she embraces everyone who comes her way and has so much love to give. Do you have any room in your heart for this sweetie?

XOXOX from Macy & her team.
