Poppy, our little Westie, had a birthday this week and now she is six. She had a great walk on Harbor Beach in Provincetown to start her birthday celebration.
Now that she's back in Boston, we have given her a few extra days to reign as Duchess Poppy Whitehead, birthday girl. Yesterday she had a lovely time sitting on a park bench and some extra playtime with Ed.
Here are some Poppy photos from this past year.
Here's Poppy, with love in her eyes, as she watched Ed as he walked by us.
David Ryan from the Boston Globe spotted us on a walk and asked if he could take a few shots of Boston's famous dog model. She was not as cooperative with him as she is with her own pair of photographers. Nonetheless she made the paper. She was not impressed since she appears in papers all the time as a part of our City Paws column and we never call her a he.
On Patriots' Day, on the waterfront in Provincetown, the waves pounded, the wind howled, and the building shook, but Poppy was snug inside so she ignored it all and snoozed away.
She loves beach walks. Each day, in Provincetown, she pulls us to the gate and must see for herself if the stairs lead to ocean water or beach. At high tide the water is more than half way up the stairway.
It has been a year of upgrades so we've spent some time at the Apple Store where Poppy is not only welcome, but also gets lots of attention from the geniuses and patrons.
This little dog is best known as the snuggler. Sit still for a bit and you may soon find you have a snuggle buddy.
She has even started requesting that Penny sit in her favorite chair more often so snuggling can commence!
Happy Birthday Week Poppy!

"My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet." Edith Wharton (1862 – 1937: American novelist, short story writer, and designer.)
And, for me, that little dog is my Poppy shown here on a cool spring day in Provincetown. She likes to snuggle down between my feet when I'm reading on the chaise.

Poppy is unusual for a Westie because she can be somewhat shy. So meeting Boston’s latest celebrity was a bit of a challenge for her.
Ed reassured Poppy that the giant snowman on the Commonwealth Avenue Mall was friendly, but she was careful in her approach and more comfortable with his tiny friend.
If he hadn’t beem so tall, our vegetable loving pup might have sniffed out that carrot hiding under his scarf. Then, she would’ve joined small snow critter on his side and tried to climb to the prize.
This big guy and a scattering of other snow people that appeared after Mother Nature provided area artists with the perfect snow sculpting material.
This smiling, caped superhero (yes, he was wearing a cape) was surrounded by paparazzi each time we passed and quickly became the talk of twitter and other social media sites. Locals and tourists alike stopped to take a photo with him.

I was just thinking … it was one year ago today, months before I’d ever heard the name Poppy, that I was very busy entering this world as a Westy. While I’m not exactly sure how all that happened, I do remember being really tiny, playing a lot, and having to share stuff with a pack of puppies.
As the weeks passed, we had a lot of visitors that would come and go until two people came by, picked me up, and drove me far away to Boston. Even though I was a little scared, there was something about these guys that made me feel like everything would be okay.
Of course, I had to start out in a playpen which wasn’t so bad. I always had plenty to eat and so many toys that I had to take turns playing with them.
Since I’ve been here, I’ve gotten used to that black, boxy thing that clicks and sometimes flashes (they call it a c-a-m-e-r-a). It happens a lot, especially when we travel. The good thing about that is I get to see new places and people and sometimes other dogs!
My first winter has been the most exciting part so far! I don’t mind the shirt & boots, as long as there’s room to romp. I’ve learned to speed over all that cold, fluffy stuff until I wear-out my humans.
After a long, hard play, nothing beats climbing to the top of a huge pile of snow and turning it yellow! It’s something I can now do outside and inside (on my pads), but I’m not perfect. Sometimes …
… when I get very, very excited, I’ve developed what’s called the “Hello Pee” – not very popular if it should happen inside and “off-pad,” if you know what I mean.
Now that’s it’s spring, and I’m old enough to remember it this time around, I can’t wait to make a whole bunch of new memories with my family. And, I’m sure the way Penny & Ed go through memory cards, you’ll be able to follow all of my adventures. Look out, here come the terrible 2’s!
