Description
Hazel's exciting new plan for the Old Dog's Club might be in trouble before it even starts. Can she find a way to get everyone to agree?
Hazel, KC, and Jonah have convinced their mothers and Hazel’s grandma to let them start an old dogs club at the Dog House. Senior dogs (like Hazel's own dog, Spot) who are still up for some social interaction, mental stimulation, and exercise but can’t handle the intensity of the full daycare environment will attend the old dogs club for a few hours a couple times a week.
Everyone is very excited. The kids will plan the activities and Grandma will oversee it. But as they start to plan, Hazel, KC and Jonah realize they all have very different ideas about how to run the old dogs club and they can’t seem to agree on much of anything.
Is the old dogs club doomed before it ever gets off the ground?
