Puggles Alike

We got a puppy Puggle last weekend, but had to give her back to the breeder b/c Hazel didn't like her. Hazel wasn't jealous at all; she was scared of the little pup! I guess Hazel is just too set in her ways (at the ripe age of 4!) to accept a jumping, playful puppy in her life. Hazel didn't eat for the 5 days we had the puppy, and then started eating again the day after we took the puppy back. That was a good puppy, too. Quite normal, compared to Hazel. She'll grow up to be a good dog for someone. I'm sad, but happy, or relieved really, because I forgot how much puppies get into and how many times they need to get up during the night. It's like having a baby! My friends that have had babies and puppies think puppies are worse. They must have had great babies I guess! Of course, when you get a baby she can't crawl or bite you yet, like when you get a puppy.
It was funny b/c the puppy did some of the same things Hazel did, like take her food from one room to another to eat it and she snored like a banshee when she slept. How cute! Oh, I miss her. It's nice to know that Hazel isn't quite as weird as we thought. The nice thing about the puppy was that she liked to be petted, which is something Hazel can't stand. :( back to not being able to pet my pet.
Anyway, I guess it wasn't meant to be. Maybe we'll try to get an adult dog next year from the Humane Society, which will make my conscious feel good, as well as (hopefully!) giving Hazel an adult playmate.

Bad Dreams

Poor Hazy. Having a bad dream right next to me. Many of her dreams include running. Or at least, that is what I suspect from her little feet a flappin' and her quickening breath. I wish I knew what she was dreaming about! Luckily she only whines every once in a while or else I would be more tempted to wake her from her bad dream. I've read it's bad to wake up a dog having a dream. I suppose it's because it could scare her. I can't really remember why. She does look at me, which I interpret as reassurance, when she wakes up. That's the only time I can pet her without her trying to roll over on her back to kick me for the petting!
