"Hey, hey, hey, goodbye!"

After much back and forth we finally listed Hazel for sale. She was a great dog, her bad behavior was actually our fault. Because we couldn't give her adequate exercise she acted out in crazy ways. We finally decided we were being selfish and irresponsible, preventing her from fulfilling the measure of her creation. So we listed her online and within an hour of posting we had five calls.

She went to a wonderful lady, Mary, who is a dog trainer. Mary has a standard poodle named "Max" who is also a highly active dog. Mary called us a week ago to say she hadn't had any problems with Hazel, no digging or chewing. This is because Mary jogs with her dogs daily. Takes them to the dog park every other day and swims in a therapeutic pool that allows dogs. She says Hazel is a water dog, swimming four miles on her first swim. Needless to say, Hazel is in a better place.

The stress level in the house has dropped 50% too with her gone. But Finn really misses her. No more animals for us till the kids are older. We learned our lesson.
