What a great morning at the Cancer Center. Poppy saw all her friends and made new ones. Of course, there is a treat after. She does share her nuggets with her sister, only when told she has too.

Poppy wishes everyone a very Happy New Year. Poppy had a very busy year. She loves going on therapy visits. However, her fur sister Pumbaa is a little sad when Poppy puts on a dress to go visiting. This year, Poppy’s personal seamstress, Elaine, made Pumbaa a Christmas dress also. Recently Poppy’s human sisters, (Priya and Asha) participated in Arizona Children’s Business Fair. Their goal was to bring awareness to the great work of therapy dogs. The girls created, “Therapy Dogs Against Cancer“ pins of Poppy and sold them at the fair. They donated all the proceeds to Pets on Wheel. Please enjoy seeing the photo of the girls giving the proceeds to Diane, Pets on Wheels board member. I am so very grateful to be a part of pet therapy with Alice McCormick and the Curley family. On our visits, we have met so many wonderful and kind patients and staff. May 2023 bring everyone joy, happiness, love and good health.

I picked up Poppy to visit at the Cancer Center today. This is where Poppy lives. Check out the location of that giant spider in relationship to the doorbell. I think Poppy’s human parents love Halloween! All characters come to life as you walk by them. Thank goodness, I use a side door. On another note, we had a great day and met several new staff members while visiting patients.

We would like to thank Kristen Bagley, HonorHealth Shea campus, Volunteer Supervisor for taking time out of her very busy day last Wednesday to spend some time with us. Poppy also had the opportunity to meet a new friend, Dr. Maya Thosani. Dr. Thosani welcomed Poppy with open arms.

Poppy had a great morning visiting people at her Dad’s clinic!

Today, I would like to give a big shout out to my human dad, Dr. Brendan Curley and all of the team at the Virginia G Piper Cancer Care Network, North Scottsdale. My human dad received the Physician Recognition Award for Patient Experience. As many of you know, it takes a village and my dad will tell you that this award also recognizes the staff/ team in the clinic. Here are some photos for you to enjoy. I am such a lucky little girl. I love going to the clinic to visit patients and staff.

We got to see some of our favorite people today. Dr. Pope, Kim, Donna and Lindsay took some time out of their busy day to say hi.

Happy National Therapy Animal Day to Princess Poppy and to each and every therapy animal. It is wonderful to see the joy that Poppy brings to patients and staff.

My favorite quote of the day while we were visiting at the Cancer Center,” well Miss Poppy looks like a giant Easter egg today”. Poppy had the perfect ending to her busy morning with Miss Vicki.

05/04/2022

It was a big day for Poppy. She got to visit her human Dads clinic. She was so happy to see the staff and patients again. The day ended with 2 chicken nuggets and a pup cup. As you can see the pup cup was a hit. Poppy snuck in a little nap on the way home.

Happy National Puppy Day to you,Princess Poppy. You bring so much joy, laughter and love to every person that you meet.
