In memory of Poppy ‘Popop’

Poppy, ‘Popop’, ‘Pop Pop’, ‘Popster’, ‘Poppy Poo-Poo’ had many nicknames. Living to almost 19, she was an enormous part in her owner’s lives. She loved being cuddled like a baby, and never looked at you in a way other than total, unconditional adoration. We are so glad that our lives have featured Poppy, and the pain of being without her justifies the thousands of cuddles, flops, and seeing her waiting expectantly in the window as we returned home for a journey. Once-in-a-lifetime. Her favourite phrase was something that sounded like “Ham!”, which was convenient, as it was her favourite rare treat.
