Poppy (Toy Fox Terrier/Chihuahua Mix)

Poppy is a 3 year old half Toy Fox Terrier and half Chihuahua. My brother Bobby has Poppy's Mom and Dad; their names are Lilli and T-Bone. We got Poppy when he was 8 weeks old and was as small as a pack of cigarettes.

Poppy loves to tease us with his ropes and bones. He will bring them to us, but won't let us have them. If we seem disinterested, he'll bump the back of our legs and move just far enough away to stop us from reaching the toy. He growls with his mouth stuffed as if to say "Haha, you can't get it!"

He is so in tune with our emotions, staying by our side whenever we are sad or upset and tries to cheer us up by being playful. At the park, Poppy is such a gentleman that people compliment us on his personality all the time. Poppy steals your heart instantly.
