Poppy’s Labor Day

On this Labor Day, Poppy is resting after a strenuous morning of laying on the back of the sofa watching for birds and rabbits. Poppy did get up enough energy to bark at several birds, but the rabbits were absent this morning–maybe sleeping in on this holiday.

We are conscientious about health testing for our dogs.  Today four dogs went to the dog ophthalmologist here in Bellingham.
