Mac's Recovery

Hi everyone!!

Here's me back at "home" with my foster K-9 brother. I'm the handsome guy on the left......Making myself comfortable on the blanket in the kitchen.

Just wanted to let you all know how great I'm doing. My foster mom thinks I must have picked up some extra energy while on my "vacation" because she has seen me chewing on some toys and I never used to do that before......I feel so happy to be back, that must be it! I can hardly tell I was at the vet last week and I'm showing my foster family how much better I feel by getting very excited when it's time to go for a walk. My foster mom thinks I have 2 personalities sometimes because I am sooo happy to go on a walk-wagging my tail, hippitty hopping a little- and yet once I am inside and everyone settles in one place (which isn't often in this house.....) I settle like I'm done for the day. But, if one person moves, then so do i. Maybe watching over everyone is wearing me out.

Get this-my foster mom is teaching me some serious manners-she is getting me to sit and stay before meals, sit and stay before going inside and outside and more. Wow!! She's wearing me out! I'm doing like she says though, because she's the boss right now. She thinks I knew alot of this before because I am doing very well. And my name-I don't know what it was before but when someone calls "Mac!" I can turn on a dime, I swear!

That's all for now-let me know if there's anything more you want to know about me!

Mac is back!

Hi Friends!

While I was on vacation my doctor noticed I was not feeling my best. I was very thirsty and hungry. After some test, my doctors diagnosed me with Cushing's Disease, which causes my body to make extra natural steroids. At least I won't have to worry about trying out for Mr. Universe-even though I am cute enough.

After I had a little surgery to make sure my liver was ok, I am recovering wonderfully. I am headed back to my foster family this weekend to finish recovering and start on my treatment for Cushing's soon. I hope that means more peanut butter! Through out my stay at the vet everyone could hardly believe how happy I was. I just appreciated all the good care and the extra pets to watch. The dog bones helped too :) They tell me they are diet treats....... I don't know what diet it was but it sure tasted pretty good.

I'll check in as soon as I have loved on my foster family and settled back in. Have a great weekend!
Love,
Mac

Mac's Vacation

Hi There Folks!

I've been having a great time here in Winston-Salem! Though I am very excited for my foster family to come home this weekend!

In preparation for their return, I've been working out! When I came into Lab Rescue, I weighed a little over 70 pounds. I am trying to lose those pesky last 5 pounds. It has been going pretty well! Hopefully my foster family will notice all my hard work!

I'm also getting myself all spiffy, so I can look my best for my foster family! I LOVE to be brushed, it is so relaxing! I mean, I like to look my best too, who doesn't! :)

During my vacation in Winston, I've been able to catch up on my reading and my napping. I like to take several naps throughout the day, because its nice to relax and get cozy!

I'm still on the search for my forever family! Wherever they are, I hope they are looking for a handsome, calm fella who loves to curl up and chill!

Have a great rest of the weekend, check in with you soon!
