Meet Poppy

How can you tell someone, in a subtle way, that they are not as important as you?
Well in the dog world it appears that the answer lays in the bed. Honey has taken it upon herself to show my new guest Poppy that her bed is preferable to Honey's. And where is Poppy forced to lay (or sit) ??!!!
Don't worry, I soon moved Her Majesty!
Poppy arrived a couple of days ago for a month. A 6yr old rescue dog, she's arrived with a number of issues. though within a short space of time, some of these have been addressed and resolved.
And with Honey by my side in support, I feel confident that Poppy will go back to her loving owner a completely different dog.

Paul's six month old Working Cocker Spaniel Ella loves riding in the cars. She has tremendous spring in her skinny legs and gets into the back of the Hilux with little effort. It's a different story when it's time to leave. She's been trained never to jump out but to be patient and wait for her owner to pick her up, thereby preventing injuries ..... and vets bills !! When are we going to be there Dad ? Boarding dogs Charlie and his brother Alfie are staying with me for a few days, and as can be seen, a ball is something that creates a real bond. These two young dogs are lovely characters. Is this the cool way to carry a ball ? Scarlett, a yo
