Poppy the Puppy

This
is Poppy, our new golden retriever. She is eight weeks old and a
bundle of fun. We bought her on Friday from one of the nicest
people you could ever meet (Gary the farmer in Derbyshire).
Since then, she has proved her intelligence by learning within
48 hours to use the training pads for all her wee/poop activity,
and managing to escape through the gate we thought would keep
her in the kitchen.
She has entertained us with hours of fun playing with her new
toys, and she's fallen asleep on our laps and looked as sweet as
can be while gently snoring. She has also learnt that the cats
are not to be chased, and lies down submissively when they come
close. So far, despite the hard work at times, she is a complete
delight.
I'm looking forward to watching her grow and getting out for
walks. I think one of the best things about her is her
never-ending cheerfulness, which is infectious.
So: welcome to the Smith family, Poppy! :)
