Hazel Plays Hide n Seek

We have 6 month old little Hazel staying with us. She is such a sweetie. She's keeping us on our toes every day all day long. True to puppy nature, she's checking out everything that moves and most of those wonderful things that don’t. In the house we keep all doors closed and the gates stay in place. Everything is up beyond her reach and we're moved any wooden furniture she might find interesting.
She is as quick as a bunny and will reach for things she thinks look like fun. She has found my shoes and dish towels a few times. Fortunately, she's very good at showing you that she has them and is compliant about trading them. She drops them like an obedient little girl.  Thank you, Hazel. It's very hard not to laugh at her. She has such an expressive little face.

Hazel loves to help with the dishes

Outdoors she loves things that are easy to catch and so much fun to chew on. Our wood pile is one of her favourite places to investigate. She also loves twigs, leaves, raspberry canes, rope, cardboard and most of all, her lead, if you're not watching.  Yes, we've put her back on lead for a few times a day.

Hazel is so enthralled with the fun things in the yard, she's choosing not to come when called. Oh, dear Missy, if you don’t come, you will be on lead. Yep you guessed it, we're working on leash skills and recall.

Hazel,"How come I have to wear a halter and they dont?"

In the mean time Hazel is delighting us with all her silly puppy antics. One of our favourites is her love of being under the couch. At first, it was a game of throw my toys under and have fun retrieving them. Now it seems it's a cozy, warm and private place for her to keep her toys and rest.  We know Hazel will be a big girl when she's grown, how much longer she'll fit is anyone's guess.  For now, we giggle at her and enjoy the games.

Hazel, "I think I lost a toy under here"

Guess Who?

Hazel has also decided that she wants to be a crate puppy. As soon as one of the crates are vacant, she snaps it up and has a wonderful restful sleep. She's taken a shine to Lady May and will often choose a crate close to her. Or saddle up as close to her as she can get.

Lady May, "Will you hurry and lay down please. Im tired!"

Crashed but staying close to any possible action

Sleep well girls. See you in the morning.

 We know that Hazel's mommy and daddy miss her very much. I've been trying to capture some video of her to send them. The problem with that is, I can NOT be taking pictures while this little girl is playing about. She is a PUPPY after all!  I've pulled a few things out of her mouth several times. So I'm discovering that most of my pictures are of her asleep lol
Oh good grief! How boring is that?

I'll continue to try in between my laughs. She is with us for a few more days, so hopefully more videos will be possible.  You can visit her Facebook album. Here -  Hazel's Facebook Album.
I'll try to get  more posted asap.
