Poppy, the Dog of the Day
Name: Poppy
Age: Nine weeks old
Gender: Female Breed: Pembroke Welsh Corgi
Home: Massachusetts, USA
 
   Meet Poppy, who's 6.6 pounds of fluffy attitude. She was born March 17, 2002 at a kennel in South Dakota. Arriving to us when she was a little less than eight weeks old, she has been a joy around the house. She is extremely smart, she already comes when we call her name. Her big sister Maisy is actually her aunt - Maisy's sister was Poppy's mom. We wanted a Corgi to match Maisy, and I bet you couldn't tell they were different puppies if I hadn't labelled the picture! Poppy and Maisy are gradually starting to play - Poppy doesn't seem to realize she weighs 23 pounds less than Maisy! Poppy is a true pig. She gets so excited at meal time she dances around. She'll eat anything!

    We have taken Poppy on a couple of walks at near by conservation land and everybody adored her - dogs and people alike. Poppy, unlike Maisy as a puppy, has made friends with the cats. She is so small she poses no threat to them! Pop is also a barker - I bet that since we have gotten her she has barked more than Maisy has in her lifetime! :) She just waddles around the house and great outdoors when she explores. I hope you enjoyed our newest addition of our pack!
