Hazel Run Grace - short and feisty
Grace is our smallest. At 32 pounds, she's only about half the size of Cole.
Petite in stature she may be--but she's anything but petite in her demeanor. She's got the biggest Alexander complex in the Pack. She plays hard. You can hear her body slams from half-way across the yard. And on occasion, the little darling has bounced even Bratty Brier back on his haunches and made him take evasive action. But for today's thread, Grace condescended to sit still and pose for the camera... In the snow with some buddies: In the snow all alone (or at least alone till she chooses her next target ):

On really cold days, Grace's hind feet don't want to touch the ground.
They take turns being lifted off the ground and she dances around. One of these days, maybe I'll get some pictures, but for now you'll just have to take the Hazel Run Mama's word for it that Grace doesn't like the cold much. The World According to Grace is slightly askew. Sometimes it leans to the right: Sometimes it leans to the left: Most of the time, though, it's just in your face:

Grace loves being cuddled, but only on her own terms.
Try to give her a hug during the day when there are scents to explore or dogs to tackle, and she'll wiggle and squirm. However, when it's time for naps, she becomes an exquisite cuddling machine... But beware! If she should ever catch you on the ground, your face is doomed to a thorough chapping!!! She is feisty but sweet, cheerful and loving. She's our Amazing Grace.

She's an equal-opportunity player...even the King condescends to play with Grace now and then. But her best play buddy is Brier They are our most recent additions and were both rescued by the same person--so they knew each other before they came here. Grace was the last to arrive at Hazel Run and you could see the delight on her face when she recognized Brier.
And then the wrasslin' started, which pretty much continues to this day. Where do they get their energy and is there any left over for tired ol' hazel?

Amazing Grace is a little sweetie! Well, they all are. Being the smallest doesn't mean being the weakest. She showed her superior strength from day one. Sweet pics! Love the face exfoliator!

Thanks, guys. Grace loves all the compliments...I read each one to her and get a little kissie in return ...so keep them coming!
It turns out it's really hard to take a picture of yourself cuddling with a dog...that was one of about two dozen that I snapped that night! Quote:
And she certainly is the most determined of all the dogs--which makes up for small size. We think she gets the leaning from her Uncle, Sheriff Cole. Here's a picture of the Sheriff in his pre-Hazel Run days: Whaddya think? Could it be a family trait?

I really am so glad that we ended up with her. She was our one and only 'foster'. By the end of the first night I was pretty sure I couldn't part with her...hubby, too...but neither hubby nor I knew how the other felt and were scared to mention it to each other for another 3 days.
When we told the woman we were fostering for she just laughed and asked what took us so long! We're pretty transparent, I guess...just a coupla ol' softies...

Cole was reportedly a real delinquent when he was that age! The hellions always seem to turn out the sweetest in the end.
Not sure if Grace was a puppy or not, but she sure did turn out sweet in the end. LP, she's saving you a cuddle

Grace sounds like Riley with the cuddles. When he is busy it reminds me of a kid on the schoolyard who doesn't want the others to see his mom give him a kiss. But relaxed at home he is a super suck .

Riley and Grace do seem pretty similar That's exactly the impression she gives!
So you think she might be balancing her halo, eh? Could very well be, cuz she is Mummy's sweet lil ...

LML, English Setters are lovely house dogs, but as with all hunting dogs, need quite a lot of exercise (at least till they grow up and become couch potatoes) and a fair amount of grooming...else you'll have hairballs in the house up to your armpits... Like hazel!
