Welcome to Golden Pines, Maya!

Maya Arrives at Golden Pines!
As I mentioned in my last post, on Saturday, we welcomed to our household, Maya, a Chocolate Lab, who will be 15 years old in May.
Maya was given to Lab Rescue by her owner, whose life circumstances changed and she was unable to continue to care for Maya and her counterpart, a 14 year old Golden Retriever. (For several reasons, the Golden did not come into the rescue with her).
After 4 days, Maya has settled in pretty well and is adjusting to her new life and routine. We still have a few things that we need to show and try to teach her; like how to get back inside the house, and where the water bowls are. Maya is deaf, so it may take a little time. But I'm sure that together we'll figure it all out.
Maya is a gentle and old soul. She's not interacting much with us or her new packmates. But I am hopeful that will change as she gets to know us and finds her place in the household.
However, in true Lab form, she's all about anything that has to do with food or mealtime - a good appetite is a good sign!

ReplyDeleteSuch a Godsend you are . . .
It warms my heart to read your description of Maya. She is a real sweetheart and lucky to join your household.
ReplyDeleteHello and welcome to Maya! She is sweet, I hope she gets along with the pack. Cute photos. Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet girl. We're sure she will learn all the new things she needs to know soon.
ReplyDeleteShe looks so lonely with that one pose where she is sitting by herself. Maybe she is trying to understand where her person and other dog friend are.
ReplyDeleteYou can scream at her all you want with no consequences. You can take all your frustrations out at her.
ReplyDeleteA gentle girl with silver paws and some more silver, and a lovely smile, showing her maturity so well,

ReplyDeleteWow. Fifteen is a pretty old age for a Lab. I'm sure she will soon adapt to life at Golden Pines.
ReplyDeleteMaya is so fortunate to have found you and your loving home. We have no doubt that it won't be long before she is fully interacting with you and enjoying her time at Golden Pines. Thank you again for all that you do.

I'm not sure my comments are going through? I'll try a different way and see if this works.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Maya! It's nice to see you with that smile on your face; you looked a little sad and lonely at first. I'm sure you're already figuring out how much you are going to be loved. ♥

Nice to meet you Maya! Our patron saint, Old Charisma became deaf as she got older. It didn't seem to bother her.
ReplyDeleteShe looks to be loving the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteGiven time, I know Maya will blossom with your love. Bless you.
ReplyDeleteI adore her expressive face. I know that you'll pull her out of her shell.
ReplyDeleteWell, hello Maya. Aren't you such a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Maya!
ReplyDeleteThat old lady has a lovely smile ... I think she will settle soon :)
