We could all use an uplifting story to fill our day with smiles, and this one takes the cake! Or should we say cone? On this glorious day, Macey, a spirited 3-year-old Staffordshire Terrier, perches by the window, her focus unwavering. She knows what’s coming and can barely contain her excitement. Someone special is on the way with her favorite treat. It’s Wednesday, the day she looks forward to the most. Her ears twitch as a familiar jingle fills the air, growing louder as it approaches.
The moment the iconic pink-and-white van rolls into view, Macey’s tail starts wagging uncontrollably. She bolts to the door, ready for her weekly tradition. Macey’s life is filled with love. Her doting parents shower her with attention, toys, and treats. But no toy or snack compares to the delight waiting for her in the Sir Whippy ice cream van.
“Every Wednesday, Macey will hear the ice cream van half an hour before it’s finally in our street. It’s her favorite day of the week.” her mom, Charlotte Brooks, captioned on TikTok with the cutest video! Brooks opens the door, and Macey takes off, dashing down the street toward the source of her joy. Despite her eagerness, the loyal pup glances back to ensure her mom is following closely.
When they reach the truck, Macey patiently greets the vendor, her tail wagging in anticipation. Brooks orders her usual—a small vanilla soft serve for Macey and a bubblegum knickerbocker for herself. Macey gets her first taste right there by the van before joyfully trotting home to finish her cone.
Later that evening, with her belly full and her sweet tooth satisfied, Macey curls up in her bed, already dreaming of next Wednesday’s treat. In the meantime, she knows she’s spoiled—her mom keeps a supply of ice cream at home for those days when Sir Whippy isn’t around.
Macey’s love for ice cream has made her a local favorite. Her enthusiastic runs to the van and her obvious delight in the simple pleasure of a cold treat have charmed her neighbors and the ice cream man alike.
Though the season has come to an end, Macey has plenty of frozen treats to tide her over until summer returns. But her hopeful watch by the window might continue, just in case her favorite van makes a surprise stop. “She’s such a character,” Brooks shared on TikTok. “Staffys really are the greatest dogs.”
A children's doctor had been evicted and had left items behind when she left. Among them was something alarming: a plastic storage bin, where a dog had been locked inside. If someone is this cruel to a small, defenseless dog, how can they continue to treat children as a doctor?
