Poppy
Poppy is Xoë’s mutt. She joined us for two weeks - after Xoë begged and badgered and pleaded to be allowed to foster a dog from a rescue centre - and she is still with us after two years. According to Xoë she is “an angel”.
Poppy is a genuine, thoroughbred cross between a malamute-come-whippet-come-pharaoh hound and a collie-come-Spanish hunting dog.
Poppy enjoys sleeping, eating, sleeping some more, and going for long walks in leafy country lanes… She is terrified of water - so at least we don’t have to worry that she might jump overboard and swim ashore.
Like all ships’ dogs Poppy is also known as Spare Provisions.
