Poppy Goes To Lowe's

 This morning we needed to go to Lowe's to pick up some pansies to go in pots for the winter. I decided it was a perfect trip for Poppy to come along with us and see some new exciting things. She seemed a little surprised when I put her in her tiny harness and leash.

She was a very good girl on the short car trip to the store. A cute little puppy like Poppy gets LOTS of attention at the store. Several people came up to meet her and in true Poppy style, she wagged her whole body in excitement to meet new people.

After we got some bags of potting soil loaded on the cart, we went over to pick out some flowers. Poppy had fun riding around on top of the bags of soil.

As soon as we had them on the cart, Poppy began to check them out. And by "check them out" I mean eat them!

I was going to convince Shawn-the-Wonder-Guy to go to Starbucks and get her a pup cup, but when we got in the car, she yawned and yawned and acted like she was tired. So, we went home instead.

Sure enough, when we got home and I took off her harness and let her go into her puppy condo, she headed straight to her bed. I tried to get some cute photos, but all I got was some side-eyed glances and clear body language to let her sleep.

So, we left her to take a nap and went outside to plant flowers.

Poppy had a fun morning getting to explore some new places and meet some new people.

A New Addition

It has been three weeks now since our new addition to the family arrived, and it seems like she has always been here. She has blended in with everyone so seamlessly. Our dogs are pretty accepting of new dogs, so it really doesn't surprise me that everyone is getting along so well. Her addition brings us to an even 4 boys and 4 girls.

Welcome, Poppy Jane!!

Poppy came from our good friends at The Cheeky Chis. She is a half sister to Leo, and definitely has his same sassy personality.

She attached very quickly to me and runs all excitedly to me when I enter the room. I love how she sleeps on her back, totally relaxed.

When she gets too warm in her bed, she likes to sleep on the floor.

She tried on her first dress, but wasn't too impressed.

Poppy has also already starred in her first advertisement for Happy Howl dog food. You can see the ad here.

We are extremely thrilled and excited to have Poppy in our family. She will bring us so much joy for a long time to come. We are incredibly grateful to Jeanette, of The Cheeky Chis for sharing her with us.
