She, KC, and Jonah have convinced their mothers and Hazel's grandma to let them try it out for the summer at Dog Days, the family doggy day care. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEveryone is very excited, but as they start to plan, Hazel realizes they all have very different opinions about how to run the club. It was her idea, but Grandma vetoes a number of her suggestions, and it is starting to feel like KC and Jonah are taking over. Plus, Spot isn't getting along with Muffin, another club member. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMom and Hazel are heading back to Chicago at the end of the summer, so maybe it doesn't matter that the Old Dogs' Club isn't turning out to be what Hazel expected.
