Now, what would you call a puppy sponsored by Tasmanian Alkaloids - Poppy, of course!!!

Little Poppy is growing up. And growing up fast. Admittedly all of our puppies grow up fast, but some just seem to take absolutely no time at all. It seems like just yesterday that little Poppy arrived to live with her foster mum Bear and foster dad Tim.

And what a life she has led since then. Being sponsored by Tasmanian Alkaloids is one thing, but actually having to go out there is another. I mean honestly, have you seen that place. It is HUGE!!! And there are big gates and security men and even bigger lights.

But Poppy just takes it all in her stride, visiting all her friends out at Westbury. There are heaps of really nice people out there, so Poppy tells us. But she knows that she has to say that because Claire, our Puppy Development Supervisor, would have some serious words to say otherwise!!!

And not only does Poppy get to go and visit her friends at Tasmanian Alkaloids, she also goes to work with Tim on a regular basis. Tim works with a training group and supervises lots of apprentices, giving Poppy plenty of opportunity to explore places she might never otherwise get to see. This is all great experience for when she eventually comes into training.

But for now, she is getting ready for a little holiday in the brand new kennels. She is desperately hoping that her luxury suite will be ready for her arrival in a few days time, whilst mum and dad have a bit of rest and relaxation. Well, if that's what you call tackling the Overland Track!!!!
