Well, today is November 13th, 2005, and I'm on my way to live with my new family. It has been a really long drive, and we are all really tired. That's me off to the left in my new Dad's car, sitting next to my new sister Allison. I know that looks like just an arm, but there really is a girl attached to it.

Beau and I met last month, after he drove down to Wilmington to meet me. We got along so well, that we decided I should move in with him. but Priscilla of the Cape Fear Golden Rescue Club said I needed to stay in Wilmington until my heart-worm treatment was complete. Ever since we met, I have had Beau-Beau on the brain.

Heart worm medicine can be really dangerous during the recovery, so I wasn't allowed to run around until I was completely better. I sure hope all of you remember to give heart worm medicine to your friends, so they do not have to go through this. It was a tough recovery and I had to stay in a crate the whole time to avoid heart problems.

That's Beau and me off to the right on the day we met, he's a lot bigger than me, so it will be easier to grab his legs when we wrestle. Everyone says I am small, but don't believe them, it's everyone else that is big!!!

I asked my new Dad to put in a picture of Don; that's the nice guy off to the left. He has taken really good care of me for the last two months, while I was recovering. He is one of a number of volunteers with the Cape Fear Golden Rescue who foster Goldens like me, while we are waiting for our forever family. It was hard for both of us to say good bye, but we have been preparing for this. Now he will be able to help another golden find a forever family.

Here I am again on the right with Beau; it is our first night together. We decided to stay in Allison's room. Boy this room is clean. Does it always look this good? (Note from Dad) HA!!!

I think I am going to like this place. Here I am on the left with a new stuffed toy. Not only is this family pretty cool, but so are their friends and co-workers. I'm surrounded by a bunch of new toys that came from a co-worker of my new Mom's. Thanks Paula, these are really cool.

A girl has got to have her cuddle toys, and I love stuffed animals. Of course, I'm beginning to think that Beau is just a big stuffed animal, so I'm sure I will enjoy holding him by the throat also:)

Now look at this picture on the right: Is that a beautiful girl or what?

I think they are really excited about having me; in fact there was a huge celebration and parade that we watched together on TV. It was the talk of America: Macey's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I loved watching it, how about you?

Off to the left, is me and one of my favorite toys. I love tennis balls, and can even hold two in my mouth. Now tell me of any person who can do that. Yeah that's right, Macey Rules!!!

Christmas 2007 Update:

Well, Dad was a little slow with the updates, or should I say that my sister Allison was a little slow with getting him some pictures to put on-line. That's ok, because now you have a chance to see how I've changed. Beau and I had a bit of an adjustment getting used to each other, but now we are the best of friends. I think when we first met, I was really used to getting moved around, and was also a little tired of my former brother trying to make puppies together. Now I realize that Beau only wants to play, and that is exactly what we do. We wrestle more today than we ever did before, and really have a good time with it. Dad will post a few pictures of the two of us together soon.

This Christmas, Beau and I both got new beds, a new ball, a pull toy, and of course some rawhide. A long time ago, a family friend said puppies should never share rawhide, because they will fight, but Beau and I never do. I read on this site about how Sandy used to take the rawhide away from Beau, so I decided to try that also. You know what, he doesn't mind at all. If I take his away, he just gets up and takes the one I left behind. Of course, then I will have to take that one away from him too. We usually do this a few times before we move to something else.

So tell me, what do you think of my new bed. Pretty cool huh? Also, take a look at my figure. I'm not skinny anymore. I've put on about 20 pounds, and Dr. Janet says I am really really healthy. Well, with a little help from some thyroid pills, but those are small.

Last year, when my family got back from vacation, I started really slowing down. They got really worried, after losing Sandy so quickly, so they took me to Dr. Janet to find out what was wrong. We started out a little high on the dose, which I thought was pretty cool; I was bouncing off the walls. Now that the dose is right, everything is back to normal.

Now this picture off to the right is just plain wrong. Allison made a simple joke about getting antlers for me for Christmas, and what does Dad do...Well just take a look to the right. Somebody call the ASPCA or something, this is embarrassing. Oh well, what is a girl to do.

Anyway, I thing it is time to go; I have more rawhide to chew.

Love Macey Mae:)
