A dog's life

There's nothing better in the world than a loyal dog.  I love all animals and love our cat Gracie with all my heart but deep down I am a dog person.  And I've been without a pup for a long time.

Fate put a pup in my path yesterday.  While perusing a fleamarket, I happened upon a shelter booth.  And that is where I met Hazel...actually Haselnuss, German for hazelnut. 

She's adorable, shy, sleepy, unable to control her bladder, and just the most incredible little warm and fuzzy puppy I've ever seen.  I love her to death already...before she chews up a shoe, pees on the carpet, or gets into the cat's litter box!  And I'll love her after!

Haselnuss, Hazel for short...10 weeks old!
