Related Reunion

Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, December 2015. This is Mary Kay. She's the dog that ties our pack together. Mary Kay is Baci's and Rex's older Sister. She also is Poppy's Mother.

CORRECTION: This poodle is not Mary Kay. It's Buffy, another relation. Buffy is Baci's and Rex's older half-sister. Sorry Buffy!!

It's the fourth "Poppyversary."

Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, August 2011. I had thought the anniversary of Poppy's arrival was August 7; I was wrong. It's today!

Here's Poppy reuniting with her family a few weeks after she came to live with us.

Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, March 2013. The Poodles in this photo all are related to our dogs. The bitch sitting in the avocado bed is Mary Kay, Poppy's mother. Killian—Baci's and Rex's mother—is the elderly dog standing by the bowls, on the far right.

Thanks to our friend Tom for making this photo available to us.
