Labrador Rescue

That's lovely news. Poppy looks a wee smasher who's gone from a loving home with Glenys to another with Ian and Carolyn.
Looking forward to loads of updates and more photos. She certainly looks completely at home! :4597

I peeped at Poppy when I collected Bob. She has grown a lot since then but she's even more beautiful than she was!
I too look forward to seeing her grow into as beautiful a girl as her mum.

Little Poppy is a doll - a right little handful of mischief at the moment but a doll all the same..!

We have had a few rescue dogs go to the bridge over the last few years - every one was an upsetting experience. When we lost Anna we got Toby - my little golden boy.. and after weeks of discussion between ourselves and also Glenys we decided the right thing to do was to have Poppy - partly because we wanted to have a couple of dogs who were going to be with us for what will hopefully be a very long time and partly because our son Martin (aged 13) is absolutely devoted to the dogs and is devastated when we loose one- Toby and Poppy will add some consistency for all of us.

We still have our 3 rescue dogs who are every bit as loved and cherished. Big Ben is recovering from a very serious operation at the moment and whilst we have been told his cancer had spread to his lymph nodes, he will hopefully have a good quality of life for quite some time to come before we have to make yet another heartbreaking decision.

I think we now have the perfect balance - the consistency of our two young dogs and the capacity to continue helping the oldies which mean so much to us...

Personally - i dont think you can beat an oldie rescue dog- they will always be important to us and something we will continue to help and care for in their twighlight years.

As you can see from the pics... with a little time and help they have all bonded extremely well together- big ben is probably the biggest surprise - he is such a gentle giant with her and she adores him

I guess I should put at least a couple of baby pics on shouldnt i!

Poppy really is gorgeous. I love the one of her under the coffee table.

Not surprised look forward to seeing her and Toby up to mischief...

Congratulations Ian and Carolyn. She looks a little stunner. No doubt she will be keeping you all on your toes. :4620:

What a cutie! May she bring you all many years of happiness.
