Poppy

Since we really can't manage a dog in our small apartment (that also lacks a garden), we offered to take care of Poppy, James and Philippa's dog, whenever they had to go out of town. Poppy came to be a part of their family several months ago (she was born in Ravenna, a Fox Terrier) and is really great - she is wonderful with the three kids and over the ten days she stayed with us was exceptionally behaved for a puppy. The reason she is wearing this collar is because she had a cyst on her leg removed and this prevents chewing (though in Le Marchè, she managed to expose a few toes). As you can see, she is adorable though Ray did cry when she managed to steal his pacifiers.
