Three years ago today, we brought this little girl home:
She was so little!
It's hard to believe it's been three years!! Poppy's grown into a sweet, good dog. She's a little bit stubborn and sassy, but I like that in a dog. We all love her so much!
How old is Shirley now? A year? I know you understand the joy of a new puppy after losing a beloved old dog. She's brought so much brightness and fun to our home these past three years!
Shirley is two now...we think. The pound told us that they thought she was about a year old, when we got her in November 2023. She grew some when we got her, so maybe she was younger than a year. I love her dearly and she has brought me so much joy.
Oh my! I can't believe it's been 3 years now. I remember 'the occasion' when you brought her home and put her puppy pics up. She's grown into a beautiful young lady. 70 lbs. is a big dog. Try my 125 lb. Rottie!! LOL! Actually, the cat had a scarier attitude than the Rottweiler. Cats!! Hmm! Happy Birthday Poppy! Paranormal John
I remember when you adopted Poppy! She is certainly a beautiful dog. It's funny how her coat seemed to have so much more black in it when she was younger. Now she's more evenly brown, at least from what I can tell in the photos.
I was going to say the same as Steve, her coat was a lot darker when she was little. What a sweet little girl she was, and now she's all grown-up and still sweet :-)
Isn't she a beauty! How quickly they grow up!
ReplyDeleteI miss her being a baby! She still seems like a pup to me, but she's obviously grown up.
DeleteWhy does the time go???? It's been that long already???
ReplyDeleteSeriously!! I can't believe it's been so long.
DeleteTime sure has a way of passing quickly. She is such a beautiful dog.

DeleteAdorable puppy into a regal adult. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Delete3 years!!!!! Time flies.
ReplyDeleteI can't even believe it.
DeleteWow! Poppy really bloomed, didn't she. Big dogs rock!!!
ReplyDeleteShe got way bigger than we expected! She's pushing 70 pounds!
DeletePoppy turned out to be a big beautiful dog!
ReplyDeleteThank you! She's a good girl (most of the time).

Thank you! Rotties can be really sweet. I can see a cat ruling in a house with a Rottie! lol
DeleteYou couldn't manage without her, could you? It doesn't take long for them to become such an important part of our lives. She's darling.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Every single day when I get home from work she dives into my arms and is so very thrilled to see me. :)
DeleteShe looks similar to my daughter's two dogs in Australia. Dogs change our lives (for the better).
ReplyDeleteThey sure do!
DeleteShe's beautiful
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
DeleteFrom cutie to beauty! I remember when you brought her home.
ReplyDeleteShe is a nice looking dog (in my unbiased opinion!)
DeleteThey grow up so fast and they give so much joy.
ReplyDeleteShe's even brought joy to George. He plays with her like a puppy even though he's 12 years old!
DeleteGrown up Poppy looks strong and kind of menacing but looks can be deceiving. Here Poppy! Who's a good girl? ARFF! ARFF! "Aaaaargh get off me!"
ReplyDeletePeople always think she's a boy!
DeleteOur babies are always our babies. She is a handsome dog for sure!
ReplyDeleteShe's so attached to me. She sleeps curled up next to me every night. Such a sweetie!

ReplyDeleteShe DID have a lot more black in her coat as a puppy, especially on her back.
DeleteI wish I had something original to say, but she really is beautiful! Happy Birthday Poppy! 🥳🎂
