There is a dog that I have never met that holds a special place in my heart. She is a co-workers dog named Macey. Why does Macey hold such a special place in my heart? Glad you asked. Macey got in trouble last week and it is my fault. I made a batch of my homemade cookies and I took some to Macey. Her owner, Kelly, placed them on the kitchen counter out of Macey’s reach. Well as we all know a determined dog can get into anything. She managed to get the cookies off the counter and eat them all. Mail went flying off the counter in the process and Macey got into trouble. So she was on treat restriction. I am just glad she likes my cookies enough to get into trouble for them.
So I decided to give Macey a special title…Dog of the Month! I figure she earned the right. So I made up a little goodie bag of treats and toys to say thank you to Macey for going to so much trouble to get to my homemade cookies. Stay tuned for a contest for next month’s Dog of the Month!
Here is a little bit about Macey from her owner, Kelly.
Macey is a 1st generation Labradoodle. I adopted her from a woman I met at the vet (Amanda). Amanda had gotten Macey thinking she was hypoallergenic. Second generation labradoodles are guaranteed hypoallergenic where as the 1st generation are 50/50 on if they will be or not. Her 2 yr old daughter was allergic to dogs. Her daughter had hives and was breaking out but Amanda didn’t want to take Macey back to the breeder – she thought the breeder was mean and the place was dirty. I told her if it didn’t work out I would take Macey so she didn’t have to return her to a ‘backyard breeder’. I waited by the phone hoping she would call. I got a call 4 days later …Amanda was in tears. Bree (her daughter) was so broken out they couldn’t justify giving her shots and they decided they could not keep Macey. I went and picked her up that night. Amanda and I are still Facebook friends to this day!! The picture of Macey with Elmo was the first day I brought Macey home.
Macey is 4 ½, she will be 5 in November. Her favorite toy is a stuffed animal (rabbit) which she takes outside with her every time she can…the only thing she will drop that for is a tennis ball. And she will drop it in an instant.
Her favorite hobby for the moment is sneaking out and staying out all night J
(Macey snuck out last night and was out until 4 am. Kelly spent all night looking for her and now Macey is on treat restriction again. Silly dog.)
