The three year old calls her Pazel Bay, a 3 year old modified version of Hazel Baby. The rest of us just call her Hazel, or occasionally damn dog.
She really likes it on the couch. It makes her feel like one of the family. And she can really drive me crazy when the kids start running and she starts barking and chasing them. Her herding instinct can’t take the running.
She dreams of getting that succulent guinea pig between her teeth, but those dang bars are always in the way.
And after a bath, there’s nothing better than finding her place as queen of the couch.
Just your typical family pet.
