Now at 12 weeks old. Hazel was the little one from the litter. She’s learning her name and used the doorbell twice this morning to alarm her need to go outside to potty. My friend Josh and I received 4 pups last week for free from our breeder in Alabama as he’s retiring from heart problems. I kept the runt and Josh placed the others to new homes. That’s why I accepted one so early since our previous 8 year old male departure last October. Hazel played fetch with me today too. She’s a little bit of a slow learner but catching on. She’s a little timid and shy to others and lacks some self confidence…some things to work on. She’ll be a deer camp member this fall and we’ll smear some blood just for her.
