Poppy

We moved from Sweden to North Wales about 10 years ago and decided it was time to re home another’Goldy’ we found ‘Poppy’ who was nearly 8 and had mainly been used for breeding, her poor tummy was so saggy and she’d had her last lot of puppies not long before we rehomed her. Poppy was a lovely ‘red’ retriever and very protective of us both, but she wouldn’t go for a walk with me only Steve and she would just refuse to go with me and leave him behind, but was more than happy if we were both there. She loved her walks on the beach and swimming and right up to when she died at 13 years old, she would still chase the birds and swim after them in the sea, it was so funny to watch, especially as she made such a weird noise whilst running after them, almost like a seal ? We were glad that we made a difference in her life and she had a happy last few years, she was a beautiful girl and very much loved, by us.
