Ace - Now Max - Adopted 11/10/01
Ace was adopted by a loving couple in Fridley, MN who have grown children and no other pets. He will be the center of attention! He has a great new yard to play in and a forever family that will love and care for him! Congratulations Ace and his new forever family! Ace is a beautiful Mahogany Sable and White adult neutered male Collie who is between 5 - 7 years old. Ace was rescued from a home when the owners moved and left him tied outside with no food, shelter or water. He was found with a pregnant female Collie (Bella). Latest Updates: Hi Lori: It was so good to see you and MWCR at the Scottish Country Fair and it was of course wonderful to see one of Max's young sons at your booth.
Max is still doing well.....Over the last
few months he has seemed more "settled in" and I think
finally trusts us. He follows me from room to room
always remaining by my side. Over the past few months we
have had a couple of dog visitors and he seems to enjoy
their company....as for people
Our college aged children are home for the summer so he has been getting a lot of attention these days. However, Max obviously had so me issues in his previous home with either loud voices and/or hitting. If our children are goofing around and chase each other (brother loves to tease big sister)...........then Max gets very upset and I think is afraid that someone is going to get hurt so he jumps up on them trying to protect one of them.....we have had to correct him and reassure him that this is play..... As he has become more settled he has become more protective of the house as well. At first he never barked when strangers approached the house and now he does (which pleases us). We laugh at him all the time because of how verbal he is.....if we had knnown this we probably would have named him something else...he is always making these low guttural noises ...groans,etc.(almost like a bear) when he lays down, when he is playing even when he is just resting.......his communications are very funny. ...we have never had such a verbal dog! We love it! We adore him!
We are hoping to send a photo soon.....he is so beautiful!
Thanks again.....
Cathey, Jeff, and Max - - - - - Lorrie, Max is doing great. He continues to become more and more a part of the family. The neighbor kids have even gotten into the act. Out of the blue several weeks ago, the boys next door asked if they could take Max for a walk too. All parties did great. Max's coat was not very shiny and he has been shedding quite a bit. We talked to several collie owners at the PetSmart here in Fridley. It was suggested that we add vegetable oil to his food (we are still feeding him the Nutro brand). Well he loves it. It seems the addition of the two tablespoons of vegetable oil is very tasty. He has even gotten better about letting us know when he wants to go out. This is a good thing. We would let him out periodically but were never really sure if he had to go. He still sneaks sleep time in the recliner when we are in bed. But of course, as soon as we come downstairs he is out of the chair, but the chair is still warm. He did great with his "cousin", a cockapoo from Wisconsin who came visiting with my mother over the holidays. Thanks again for being there when Max needed you and when we needed Max. You should be very proud of the work that you do and the benefits you provide. Jeff, Cathey, and of course, Max Ace was fostered in Richfield, MN. |
