Hazel's story started with two pugs
that my daughter adopted
Buzz and Sophia
It did not take long before it was clear
that Sophia was expecting
This little girl was the first born.
She had a white spot on her chest and they called her Star
I went to visit when the pups were 4 weeks old
and fell in love with Star.
With 4 pugs at home
we had no intention of getting another.
But how could we resist and soon there was 5.
I like hazelnut creamer in my coffee so little Star became
Sophia's Hazelnut Starbaby
better known as
Hazel
From the time she was little
she aways had that huge smile!
Who could not love those big brown eyes and cute head tilt

Hazel enjoyed going to the obedience trials
She earned her Companion Dog Obedience Title
Also Rally Novice and Rally Advanced
But her favorite was the fun team competitions
She really enjoyed entertaining the crowd
She was the pawfect little clown
Summer of 2017 Hazel came out of retirement
as part of the Old Duffers team
All four of the dogs were over 10 yrs old.
Once again she captivated the crowd
with her bright smile and silliness
Hazel never minded dressing up
Whether it was in a grass skirt
Dressing up for a Blogville Party
In her penguin jammies
Or being a scary spider for Halloween
For Hazel,
toys were not only to play with
they also made
great pillows!
Queen of the camp trailer
Hazel was always a happy camper
Waiting for her favorite camping snack
May I have some popcorn??
Hazel's sweet disposition made her a wonderful big sister
She welcomed baby Greta
and then baby Mabel with love
and oh so much patience
Hazel was known for her love of cherry tomatoes
it started when she was young
We had to put a fence around the plants
as she would pick them right off the vine!
This is one of my favorite videos of Hazel
That moment she realizes
that Dad is going to pick tomatoes
My favorite word to describe Hazel was joyful.
There was joy in her smile, her big brown eyes,
and her whole little body that wiggled with joy
right down to the the tip of her curly pug tail.
How I miss those dancing feet and excited twirls
right down to the the tip of her curly pug tail.
How I miss those dancing feet and excited twirls
Forever our Baby Girl
