Yall, some weeks, we’re out winning ribbons and cuddling baby puppies. Then there’s weeks like this.
Poppy began it bit on the nose by a rattlesnake. Which meant an emergency vet trip at dawn. She skipped into the waiting room greeting everyone like they were her personal fan club, while I missed my first cup of coffee and rethought my life choices.
She bookended it by meeting the wrong end of a skunk (for the second time this summer) and three baths later, that yellow stain might just be a permanent fixture on her face.
Keep in mind, Poppy isn’t an only dog. She lives with other dogs, all of whom did not freak out the local wildlife by greeting them like a long lost cousin.
In the end, she is fine. Maybe she learned a lesson, maybe not. Either way, we wouldnt change her!
But some days, might consider giving her away... 🤣
