Very sad news. But she sure was the most gentle, beautiful and great dog I ever met. Will never forget when I washed her in the shower, she totally hated it but still was polite about it. Or the times when I would walk down the stairs late at night to have a Toblerone snack. And I would find a surprised Hazel laying in the couch. Hopefully where ever Hazel is now, there is lots of forest land for her to wonder around in, and maybe a pond for her to swin in when she needs to.
Thanks, Erik. It makes us smile to hear your memories of Hazel.
