Many thanks to Pamela Hamon for letting us know a little more about Hazel, Chet’s November Friend of the Month. Hazel is the FB profile pic till December, and Pamela gets a signed copy of A Farewell to Arfs, the latest Chet and Bernie mystery. Next month this could be you! Or someone you tell about this! Just send in a pic. The random number generator takes over from there.
“I first saw Hazel at the shelter where I was working as a dispatcher last December right before I retired. She was found as stray roaming in a very rural area on Badger Lane with lots of coyotes in the area. It appeared she had been roaming lost for some time.
She was little and very scared and I didn’t want her to have to stay in the kennels so I took her home with me that same day as a foster. No one came looking for and she wasn’t microchipped so when her stray hold time was over I officially adopted her.
Hazel’s intake paperwork lists her breed as a Shih Tzu mix and she is about 4 years old. Her DNA says she is 1 percent Shih Tzu and 99 percent Miniature Himalayan Mountain Monster. A very rare and dangerous dog breed!
Hazel loves to cuddle while I read and she enjoys playing with her two Scottish Terrier sisters Winnifred and Carmen.
Hazel is quite the fashionista and loves to dress to impress! She loves bedtime treats and barking at the neighbors cats
Hazel does not like to get her feel wet and she is not a morning person!”

Greetings!
Hazel, I am so glad that your human came upon you at the shelter! A style icon that hates getting her feet wet…yes, but a Mountain Monster…not with that cutie pie face!
Make today awesome!
Interesting. I agree that she does not look like a “Mountain Monster.”
Good day to all.
Wow, Hazel is my kind of girl. Not a morning person? CHECK. Loves to dress up too. I think Hazel won the foster lottery. Failed indeed. But I suspect that was the intention all along.
Today is National Candy day. Gee, I wonder how they thought that one up.
It is Roast Dinner day. I don’t do roasts as it isn’t practical for one person. However I did make roasts about every 3-4 days for a month when Ramses had an ear hematoma and the vet suggested he might be allergic to chicken. I had some freezer burned roasts from a quarter of a cow I had purchased a few years previously and never made. I thawed them one at a time, roasted them and cut them up and he was on pure beef for a few weeks. that did the trick. From then on no more chicken, not even in treats. Not an easy feat if you’ve ever read a dog food/treat label. The vet told me it is common as chicken is the most common dog food source in the U.S. and after years some dogs develop an allergy to it. He said in Australia, it’s lamb.
Lastly, today is National Easy-Bake oven day. I never had one but my sister did. I would never eat what she made as she would knead and re-knead the cookie dough until it was gray. But my brother would eat anything. He’s still alive so there’s that. cooking with a lightbulb. I was skeptical. They still sell Easy Bake ovens but they don’t use lightbulbs as a heat source because, well, not child safe. Considering how many of our childhood toys are no longer being made due to safety issues it is a wonder any of us are alive.
I suppose it is because today is Use Your Common Sense day. We must have done it even before there was a day for it.
It sounds like Hazel is quite the lady! Dress to impress, not a morning dog, hates to get her feet wet……definitely a lady! Then I picture Franklin and his predecessor Teddy on their hikes trudging through all kinds of terrain just to get to the swimming hole. Definitely boy traits!
Hazel is living her ‘happily ever after’ with Scottie siblings and appreciative parents. How wonderful is that?
