We have dreamed of getting a puppy for years, but we just assumed that we would have to wait until after the wedding, as we are taking our dream honeymoon early next year and we initially thought that we would spend or minimoon immediately after the wedding in Italy which would mean that we would be away too much to get a puppy now. However Nathan and I were discussing the minimoon when he told me that he had thought of the best wedding present for me, but that it wouldn’t work because of spending time away. I begged him to tell me what the gift was and amazingly it was a puppy! So we decided that a puppy is far more important to us than going to Italy for a minimoon and we immediately began our search for her. Poppy was the first puppy advert that I saw and just couldn’t stop thinking about her so we spoke to the breeder and the rest is history! A lovely coincidence with the breeder and Puppy is that a very good friend of mine called Toria has a family cavalier called Tara and Tara is Poppy’s grandmother! Toria and I are going to let them meet soon and hopefully they will have a beautiful bond and be very fond of each other. Which would be welcome after the frosty, but very understandable reception from Millie and Sylvester. There has not been any physical contact between them, but we are showing Poppy to the cats at every opportunity and hoping that once we do let them properly meet they will all be friends.
Now my amazing friend Dawn over at May All Seasons Be Sweet To Thee and I can share our cavalier parenting stories and no doubt bore you all silly! Speaking of which, there are too many photos for a single blog post, but I just could not make the selection any smaller from the hundreds of photos that we have taken over the past few days because she looks so cute in every single one!
Hopped over from twitter as just had to see the new puppy. Oh my she is just the cutest thing ever! My friends used to have 2 cavaliers and I could never stop stroking their ears :o) Am a tiny bit envious now! xx
Awwww, she's such a little doll!! I'm so happy for you! ♥
Oh Morwenna…Poppy is just the cutest thing! What a doll! My favourite photo is the last one of her sitting on the pink checkered sheet or cushion. Thank you for sharing those pictures with us. I am sure Millie & Sylvester will warm up to her. It just takes some time. You'll see! Enjoy your next four days with Poppy. Hope you have a happy Thursday too. xo
Morwenna, little Poppy is just the most darling thing (next to baby Alice) I've ever seen! I am melting at the photos, really. So hope to meet her in real life one day soon…enjoy this time, it goes so fast but the good thing with dogs is that every new stage is wonderful! So you have years & years ahead of joy. And it begins here. Give her a special kiss just behind those soft, biscuity ears for me! xoxo Rachel
She is so cute! Perfectly gorgeous! What fun you will be having!
I too came by from Twitter. What an adorable baby little Poppy is, congratulations. 🙂

oh Morwenna, what an adorable little scrap! She is so sweet. What a gorgeous face, and what a completely perfect gift for you!
I love that you have put the minimoon on hold in order to bring her home. It's the right thing to do! When Bill and I got married, we took Dudley on honeymoon with us.We only went to Bath, mainly because of Dud. People think we are mad that we always think about him, and refuse to leave him, but pets are an important part of our lives, aren't they? Since bringing Dudley home, I've only been away from him for two nights. That was the night of our wedding, and the night of the day I gave birth :o)
She's gorgeous! My mom wants to get one the same breed to live on her boat when she retires. Her neighbouring boat has a west highland terrier called Poppy and Ted loves throwing balls for her!
she's just adorable.
