Fave food: Peanut butter is always a household favourite!聽 Also, a sneaky way to give them their pills!

Special tricks: I can ask Hazel 鈥淲hat do you want?鈥� and she will bring a toy, go to the door to be let our, or lead me to what she wants. Usually this involves a trip to the cookie jar (dog treats). Hazel is also an avid TV watcher, especially when horses, cows or dogs are on the TV. This year she also enjoyed the Grinch (see pic, below left).聽 Ranger鈥檚 best aptitude is running really fast. He loves to burn up the trails! More recently, they do love to wake up the Teams calls by barking at passing dogs or the mail carrier!

Best quality: They make me laugh every day, and they are great snuggle buddies and walking companions.
