Arrival Story:
Mazel was originally from a puppy mill and then went to a pet store where she had been purchased twice and returned because she has a sick eye. The store had nothing to do with her so they gave her to me. the poor little dog was very underweight and timid (she didn’t make a noise for months, i thought she was a mute!). Since then she has had surgery on her eye, put on some weight, has really gained confidence and has become quite opinionated! - The trouble with her eye was keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye) She has had a salivary duct transposed to the eye to keep it wet. now whenever she is hungry (or salivates) her eye drips...kinda weird. huh. Not perfect but better then before!!

Bio:
MAZEL QUICK FACTS: *** I am convinced Mazel is plotting to take over the world! *** She has an amazing ability to manipulate everyone around her! (so she may be successfull at the whole world domination thing) *** She hates small dogs and loves big ones (she loves to boss around Diesel- her rottie friend) ***mazel is a lover of most things but a HATER of all things squirrel- the worst part is that they know she is little and they sit on the fence or on a tree just out of reach and natter at her. Thankfully she can call on Dalia as backup to put those squirrels in place (Dalia is a certified Squirrelinater she killed one once :( I tried to stop her). Now Mazel has a 'squeeky squirrel' to take her agression out on :) ***I know that this is needless to say but- she thinks that she is bigger then a Diesel truck ;) litterally, and she has no 2nd thoughts about putting any other dog, no matter how big, in their place!
