Pup of the Week

This week's adorable pet of the week is puppy Hazel.  She is a 6-pound, 11-week-old miniature Australian Labradoodle.  Owner Kathy Gustavson writes:

"Hazel was born on May 15, 2015 and was one of 9 in her litter.  She came from a breeder near Salem, Oregon.  I waited 8 months for her as I wanted a miniature and a red girl.  So, I had to wait for the third litter, to get all three.   But she has been worth the wait.  I wanted this breed as I love teddy bears -- and they actually look a lot like teddy bears, especially in this photo!"

"Last weekend Hazel and Sophie (120-pound, 2 year old English Mastiff) became best friends.  From the moment we introduced them at our friends' house they became inseparable.  Well, actually we had to separate them as Sophie needed a little break sometimes!  Even when we put Hazel in her playpen they laid nose to nose.  Oftentimes with their noses actually touching.  Several times I had to take a washcloth and wash Hazel's head as she was covered with Sophie drool." 
As you can see from the video, Hazel is a relentless puppy!
