I don’t know what it was exactly but something made me think of Hazel today and how wonderful she was and how every photo of her with things on her head made me smile. I still tear up thinking that she’s gone. I hope you are doing well. Please know you and Hazel brought joy to so many of us and I’m wishing you happiness and peace. I’ll hug my corgis doubly hard tonight (and they’ll grumble about it I’m sure but that won’t stop me!).
Thank you-- we miss her, but are glad for the happiness she spread!
Thank you so much for sharing the incredible blessing and joy of Hazel with us over the years. She has brightened the lives of her many many fans all over the world. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing, and I know nothing we can say will ever take away the hurt. We love you, Hazel and family!

"Corgis are enchanted. You need only to see them in the moonlight to know this."
— Tasha Tudor
On Sunday, my deeply beloved, most enchanting Hazel Simone Zildjian passed away at home. She gave me the gift of letting me hold her in my arms as she left us, with both Mom and Dad with their hands on her, and Phoebe’s love so palpably present.
Hazel brought joy and comfort to all who met her, and her many thousands of online fans, duly enchanted by her balancing tricks. Despite her online fame, she was a retiring lady who preferred a firm bed, a good patch of sun, and the company of a choice few beloved humans. Hazel saved my life. Knowing and loving her has defined my heart from the age of 11, when I first saw the little white moon on her head and chose her as my own. She was my strength, my confidant, my baby. Phoebe and I called her a worry sponge, and often joked that her plump frame was not chub, but the result of her eating and dispelling our anxieties. Family lore also has it that some of that bulk came from hidden wings. On Sunday, those wings deployed, and our dear girl flew off to wait for us, pain free, in heaven.
Queen Elizabeth II, a fellow lover of corgis, once said that “Grief is the price we pay for love.” How deep my love for Hazel is, and how deep the grief. However, it is a price I proudly pay for the love of my own sweet Queen.
We expect to be in control of our internet experience. When we use the Internet, we want Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is the fundamental principle that prohibits internet service providers like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon from speeding up, slowing down or blocking any content, applications or websites you want to use. The upshot is that ISPs could censor information, or slow down access to those who cannot shell out big bucks to access it at top/ideal speeds. This will make things difficult for small businesses that sell/market online, for people to apply for jobs or to colleges, and/or to organise against or for issues they want to protest or promote.
