On January 30, 2009, Bob and Nancy Griswold’s Portuguese Water Dog “Poppy” went to the Rainbow Bridge. She was nine and a half years old and succumbed to a battle with cancer. She died in the car on the way to the vet.
Poppy was a registered DELTA therapy dog and attended TFKC therapy events at nursing homes and visited schools. She proudly wore a green shamrock shirt at the TFKC’s St. Patrick’s Day breed parade in 2008. Poppy was also a representative of the Portuguese Water Dog during Meet the Breed at the TFKC Responsible Dog Day.
Bob and Nancy also have Poppy’s son “Major” and a Standard Poodle “Gioia.” Poppy had over 30 puppies in her breeding years. They got her five years ago when she retired from breeding. Poppy loved to travel with her human and canine family, especially to Maine where she would go swimming and clamming. Poppy will be sadly missed by all her two legged and four legged friends. She was a gentle soul who comforted so many during her life.
