It’s been a strange few weeks at Poppies and I’m so grateful to my lovely clients and their dogs who’ve all rallied when we hit a bit of a crisis!
I suffered a heart attack on Monday 12th August during our very busy time with holiday boarders which certainly wasn’t on my agenda!
My dear husband Frank stepped up whilst I was in hospital and with clients help we got through.
So thank you so much for the lovely get well wishes and flowers and chocs from all the dogs!🥰

We were joined yesterday at Poppies by Teddy (Maltese x Shi tsu) for his trial sleepover.
He flew in as though he lived here which is always encouraging on a first visit.

Quiet overnight and no concerns with Teddy, lovely little guy, he’s back with us soon💙
Winnie (jackapoo) joined us at Poppies for her trial sleepover last week. She took a while to settle in but we gave her space and time.
Curiosity got the better of her after watching us and the dogs and taking it all in she happily joined the others on our walk❤️
James and Arthur (Standard wirehaired dachshunds) arrived at Poppies last week for their trial sleepover and all went very well💙
They will be back for their summer hols!🐶
