She’s memorized the ice cream truck’s schedule 🍦
It’s a summery Wednesday afternoon in the United Kingdom, and Macey, a 3-year-old Staffordshire terrier, has her eyes glued to the window. She knows someone special is on their way with a sweet treat and refuses to miss them.
Within minutes, her ears perk up as a familiar tune plays in the distance. When she finally sees the pink-and-white van drive past her window, her tail whips in a frenzy, and she bolts to the door.
Macey has almost everything she wants inside: a loving set of parents who dote on her night and day, plenty of toys and tons of her favorite snacks. But nothing compares to the treats waiting for her inside the van.
“Every [Wednesday], Macey will hear the ice cream van half an hour before [it’s] finally in our street,” Macey’s mom, Charlotte Brooks, wrote on TikTok. “[It’s] her [favorite] day of the week.”
You can watch that moment here:
Brooks happily obliges and opens the door for Macey, who sprints down the street after the Sir Whippy ice cream truck. Despite her excitement, the sweet girl turns around several times to ensure her mom is still behind her before continuing towards the van.
When they finally reach the van, Macey greets her favorite ice cream vendor and waits patiently while her mom orders one small vanilla soft serve for Macey and a bubblegum knickerbocker for herself.
Macey is ecstatic. She enjoys a little taste of her ice cream before racing back home to gobble the rest.
With a full belly and a satisfied sweet tooth, Macey settles into her bed later that night and begins the week-long wait for her next cone.
Luckily, her mom keeps extra ice cream at home, which she happily shares with Macey on Sir Whippy’s days off.
It’s no secret that Macey is the most treat-obsessed girl on her street, and everyone — including the ice cream man — loves her for it.
Although the season has sadly ended, Macey has enough ice cream to last her until next summer. But she’ll likely still spend some time by the window in the off-season, just in case Sir Whippy stops by.
“She’s such a character,” Brooks wrote on Tiktok. “Staffys really are the greatest dogs.”
