My quilting partner is Hazel who will be 6 years old in June. We rescued her from the Virginia vizsla rescue league. She was the result of a home foreclosure and had a loving family. She is our 3 rd vizsla and follows Gabe who went to doggies heaven in 1998 at almost 16 years of age, Cooper our first rescue who left us at an early age of 10 in 2008. She has a chair in my sewing room, and sleeps to the sound of my sewing machine. Afraid of storms, loves everyone (almost, hates the vet), at the vet's she starts yelping as soon as she sees him or the needle. She sleeps in luxury on a love seat, on her australian lamb wooly, covered with a blanket. She opens her own presents, and loves soft toys that talk. Her best friend is Max, a mini schnauzer, they have many play dates together.
