My old girl, Poppy aged 15, was onboard this afternoon providing moral and emotional support to NDIS clients.
While Poppy is elderly, and very quiet, and frail, we’ve had her for well over 12 years.
She was previously neglected, abused, forced to breed, and she was not fed. Her babies were taken from her, and she lived in a raised cage, in summer, through winter.
Poppy sadly tried to eat her own p**p when she came to live with us. We gently guided her through her trauma, including diverting her from retrieving barbie dolls and teddies, and attempting to care for them in her doggy bed.
If you happen to see Poppy with us, and you observe her being shy, hesitant or hiding - it’s because she was abused and neglected at a puppy farm at Pyramid Hill. The abusive family was prosecuted.
Poppy has been adored, loved, cared for, and been my shadow for over 12 years, and she sleeps on my bed every single night.
