Who is Poppy

Poppy is a 13yo Springer Spaniel who I rehomed in November 2023 after hearing her owner could no longer take care of her. I was apprehensive at first because of her age but I thought it was the right thing to do. Well, I was completely unprepared for the cosmic affect she was going to have on me. She’s old, she can’t do any tricks, and she’s set in her ways, but boy oh boy she’s stolen my heart. Hopefully she’ll steel yours too.

What is the Poppy Effect?

The Poppy Effect is just what I’ve termed the effect Poppy as had on me.

Because of the way I’ve reacted to her, going from apprehensive to taking on an old dog, to being absolutely smitten and so unbelievably grateful for having her come into my life I guess I wanted to share my experience, and hopefully if you’re considering taking on a rescue, especially an older one, out story might help.

So, The Poppy Effect was born.
