Hazel Update

Nothing has been written about Hazel in a few weeks and since there was zero studio work yesterday, this blog will be devoted to her.

Her food issues have been resolved. No chicken. No peanuts. She's all happy and healthy now. Save for the mats in her hair. Jim tried to cut some of them out and kinda trim her up before her grooming appointment on the 15th, but it didn't turn out so well. 

10 Months Old
We love her to death. I mean, this puppy is so loving and trust worthy. She only wants to play, whether it's with us or other critters and I don't think she would intentionally hurt a thing. The thing about doodles is that grooming is a must. Whether you take them to be professionally done, or your doing them yourself, THEY MUST BE GROOMED.

And we didn't know until recently that brushing her out BEFORE going swimming was supposed to occur. This is how we are getting all the mats. 

The groomer is going to have to make a decision on whether she will just end up shaving her completely to get a handle on them (there are many, many, many under her top coat), or actually spending the time to untangle them. I've been working on her (for as much as she will tolerate) for the past few days, but making progress doesn't seem to be happening.

Happy Halloween

And it's 66 degrees outside. I remember Halloweens where we were handing out candy in full winter garb. This year it'll be full cost...
