Dog Daycare Starlet, Dog of the Week, Golden Retrievers!
Poppy, golden retriever extraordinaire, at Dawg Gone It Doggie Daycare.
The Pop-Pop! We LOVE Poppy! She is SUCH a good player, nearly everyone gets to play with Poppy at some point, dog and human alike! That and she’s SO PRETTY! Good-natured, care-free, blond hair blowing in the wind… She’s a regular starlet! Seriously, she should be wearing over-sized sunglasses and a big floppy hat, that would suit her. When she walks into Dawg Gone It, if you listen real hard you can hear the background music swell and FEEL the camera pulling in tight for a close-up.
We took a photo to celebrate her birthday! Unfortunately, the birthday bandanna didn’t fit.
She’ll play hard, she’ll play gentle, she’ll take daycare naps with or without cuddle buddies, she likes to chase, be chased, to wrestle, etc. She’s the perfect playmate for any dog.
Poppy likes to play on the floor.
Or just take naps with other dogs.
Seriously, the naps.
See?!? If you didnt just say “AWWW” out loud, you need to get that looked at!
So, even though we mentioned it AT LENGTH in the post for Fiona, POPPY AND FIONA! They’re in love, they’re each other’s favorites, we have a lot of photos.
Whoops! Wrong end.
There we go!
And again with Poppy and her cuddle naps, but Fiona is her most frequent napping partner.
Fiona and Poppy: Besties
Even when they nap separate, Poppy makes sure she can lie and her back and at least GAZE at Fiona.
Also, nice shot of Luna in the foreground, and Juniper’s butt.
Breed: Golden Retriever
Age: 2 years old
Weight: ~65 lbs.
First Time at DGI: August 22, 2017
Shedding: Oh yeah. She’s a VERY talented shedder. One of our dog handlers likes to joke about sweeping up her fur and trying to spin it into yarn. I mean, I’d wear a Poppy sweater if it were available.
Nickname(s): Pop-Pop, Poppa-Doo, Poppers, Pop-uh-Lop, Popalopogus, Papa Doc, Poppy Seed, Pop-It-and-Lock-It, Pop-and-Lock
Best Friends: FIONA! Poppy and Fiona are besties, they probably each have one half of a heart necklace. Beyond Fiona, Poppy is friends with everyone. Violet, Bailey, Maya, Pudgjo, Sierra, Tali… The list could go on for days. Just everyone. She’s a popular girl.
Funny Story: Poppy absolutely loves Fiona so much so that she uses her as a bed, lying on top of Fiona whenever she gets a chance. Cuddles are key here!
All aboard!
ZZZzzzz…. ZZZzzzz…
