Poppy

Poppy lives across the road, but has been spending the afternoon with us.  She got out somehow, and nearly got skittled on the main road. 

She's not an easy dog to get to know and it took me about half an hour to get her trust, and corral her in our front garden.  Then a further half an hour to get to pat and pick her up.

Right now she is with me in my office, and waiting very anxiously for her Mum and Dad to come home from work.

In the meantime the boys are shut in the family room, and are very unhappy about it.  The problem is that I don't think Poppy takes very well to other dogs, and I'd rather not take the risk of letting them meet.
