Maisey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Maisey
Age: Nine months old
Gender: Female Breed: Golden Retriever
Home: Brentwood, California, USA
 
   We brought home Maisey (pronounced like Daisy) as a baby Golden Retriever. She's fourteen weeks old in this picture. She is our little, baby girl. At that point she was learning to walk with her leash, go up the stairs, and she loved to play soccer with ice cubes even then!

    She moved in with Teddy, our eleven year old Rescued Mutt. Maisey is bringing lots of life to dear old Teddy who has been an Alpha Dog who didn't much like other dogs or other people. Although, Teddy is Super Sweet, he is also Super Shy. Maisey and Teddy love to walk alongside each other down the street and race to the corner.

    Maisey is the best! She is a mini golden - she's a runt! And, she's very light in color, which we love. She's just under 50 pounds and she's nine months old. I call her a hot dog, because she has short little legs and a long body.

    Maisey loves to kiss and lick and hug you. She loves to be in your lap or in your arms... although she's become quite heavy to pick up. She absolutely loves children and playing with kids. Maisey also loves the water. If we put ice cubes in her water bowl she begins to play in the water with her face and paws. She then "water skates" across the floor in front of the bowl.

    Maisey loves her stuffed toys. We have about 100 of them in the house and she always has one in her mouth. In the mornings she loves to leave the bedroom with a slipper in her mouth to go outside and play.

    She is such a happy, playful puppy. We walk her daily and she brings a smile to so many peoples faces along the walk. Everyone in the neighborhood knows her by name.
