Poppy turned one today! Theoretically she is all grown up, although I have to say most of the time she still acts like a maniac. The wonderful woman who fostered Poppy's mother, then whelped and cared for the puppies wrote an amazing post on her blog about the experience, please take a moment to read it - Pell-Mel blog. She eloquently portrays the strength and comfort an animal (or eight) can bring to your life.
