POPPY NEW PAGE·SATURDAY, 8 JULY 2017·3 MINUTES25 reads

Poppy The life of this Staffie..* Poppy*... In march 2011, at an approximate age of 4/6mths. She found her way into my world..I became her FOURTH owner, friends had removed her from a life of torture at such a young age..Where she had been muzzled, whilst other dogs attacked her!. ( four years on, she still carrys the scars) She was a sick puppy, with skin allergies.Her fur wasn't growing due to stress..Her anxiety's where on overload... I hadnt wanted or been looking for a dog, but there she stood infront of me..Something about her eyes drew me in, as she looked my way. As if to say "luv me & I will love you right back"... I pondered the thoughts of taking her on, the negatives high on the list..I pondered over the cruel start she'd had on life, she had not asked to be born, yet suffered for it..

Could I really turn my back on her, Ive tried in life to save people with troubles.When perhaps i should have turned my back on them..Why not give a dog that time and effort? At least they would appreciate it, and grow from it.. So I became her 4th and FINAL owner, through thick or thin... OMG!!! did I almost eat my words lol.. She was the devil dog from hell!! My challenge had begun to rehabilitate a dysfunctional pup, became a group effort from friends... She did however come with some sort of training, she was almost house trained just minor toilet trouble.... She chewed nothing, apart from given toys..Shoes where safe lol as was furniture, pheww She had traits of abidance, loved affection and people.. Children are no threat to her, and she showed no signs of aggression to them.. Although a lil hefty with her weight, but that itself is part a staffie trait .. Walking & dogs however where my worst nightmare,god I hated her then lol... But with determination and encouragement & help from friends it gets better year by year..I'd say the 1st yr being the worst! Since then, I have watched her grow in leaps and bounds. Her personality has grew, and shes captured a few hearts along the way.. She has the freedom and a life as a happy staffie now, not a tortured one.. She has more adventures then most people running free.. They say Dogs come into our lifes for a reason, even when we are not looking for them..In time the reason will become clear, this i found to be a true saying!! (Three month into owning Poppy, I lost my brother,2011..My son emigrated to usa, 2013..I lost my Mam in 2014.) Throughout the darkness of grief, when I reached out for a hand.. I found her paw.. She gave me a reason to carry on, as well as a shoulder to cry on. Does My dog deserve her own page?? hahah Toooooo right she does!!!! If you's wanna stay and follow her story do carry on For those who dont wanna, simply press unlike and begone.
