Poppy, you are truely a beautiful flower! And you sound like you are very smart. My dog is part chow too. He throws things around like you do. It's very amusing to watch. And I think it's so cute that you wait outside with the hand towel in your mouth. Congrats on being our DOTD

Hey, Poppy! I love the towel trick too! Aren't YOU the fast learner!! You're one gorgeous girl! Why settle for the tennis ball or squeaky toy, when you can have your own special Pet Rock! I love it! Congrats sweet Poppy, for being chosen our illustrious DOTD!

Poppy--
You are beautiful!!!

I have a question for Poppy's parents: How big is she now????

I am curious because we recently adopted a chow shepherd mix from the shelter. She was 8 weeks then, about 11 weeks now. I don't know where she was before the shelter, but I think it was a bad place. We have really worked to insert some joy and trust into our new pup. (She's coming along fine in that regard).

Her name is Hathor; Hathor was an egyptian queen Goddess...

We had no intention of getting a big dog... but here she is. She was 10 lbs at her first vet visit and two weeks later she is a lot bigger.

She looks just like a smaller version (right now) of Poppy. She also loves to eat bugs, especially ants. She seems only to have two modes: hyper-energetic fast and off (sleep). She is adorable and precious. She desperately wants to be friends with our 15 year old cat -- cat will have NONE of that.

She's definitely a keeper. We know in the end she'll get as big as she gets.... but we are terribly curious --'bout how big might that be???? We figure at her smallest, she'll be at least 50 lbs...

So if you're reading this Poppy's parents, can you give us a hint?

Thanks,

Saki and Freyja's Mom
