Poppy has been defying the odds and going from strength to strength. Her normal walk is now to the Village and back, probably about 1-2 miles! She goes at a rate of knots - but what is quite amusing is that on the return leg she always looks to have the ball to carry. One day recently Dad gave her the ball a bit earlier, so she just literally turned round and headed for home!
Poppy now has lots of doggy friends, but her favourite (other than Abbie of course) is Bouncer - a very handsome, but somewhat large, and amorous yellow labrador. She also loves Charlie a golden retriever.
Yesterday, even though she had been to the Village in the morning I took her to the stables in the afternoon, and she then managed to walk down "Hollow Rocks" which is a really steep stony slope, into the coombe below - she then had a paddle in the stream before walking back up the slope with no stopping at all - absolutely amazing.
Suzy, the original vet can not believe the way she has come on - as she says she has definitely defied the text books.
