Oh no!
Oh Alice...you must be so sad.
Love to you all. Poor Master P all that way away.
She was just a bit older than Willow. You gave her a good life.
I'm so sorry. It's never easy when a member of the family dies, especially one that loves unconditionally.
Sadness.
What sad news. I'm so sorry.
Oh, Alice, I'm stunned! And so sorry. Take good care of yourselves...
I'm so sorry to hear that Alice. Hugs.
Oh no!
Was that expected?
I am so sorry - I know how much she was loved by your family.
Oh, Alice, I'm so sorry. Will be thinking of you. Love, K

I am so sorry Alice. Grieve fully.
so sad xx thinking of you xx
oh no! The hole that a missing soul leaves is quite unbearable, my heartfelt condoloncies to all of you. xx
I do share your sadness as I always found Poppy a warm companion when she visited. However, this shaggy dog story may bring a wry smile. The RSPCA is seeking volutneers to tame abandoned dogs by reading to them. Ella Herring. who works at a Nottingham Shelter, said: "Some people might feel uncomfortable reading big novels to dogs, so they might prefer a story book." Perhaps Poppy is being read to in her doggy heaven.
I so understand your loss and my heart goes out to you all.
Oh condolences from the EasternMax family. She was with you for a good long life. I hope it wasn't unexpected.
I have just read the "paws for thought" entries over the years and seen what a lovely fun 4 legged friend Poppy was and my heart filled with sadness at her departure. My love to you all.

ps: I especially loved the photo of her with paws resting on the bath and the children's laughter ~ so glad you captured that moment! x
Alice, I am so sorry to read that sad news.

Oh, Alice, I am so sorry. Hugs to you all.
What a wonderful life Poppy had!!!
Oh, this must be a very painful time for you all. The passing of a beloved animal is never ever easy.
You are in my thoughts.
Dear Alice, I am so sorry -- RG
Dear Alice,
I have only recently "met" you, but know this loss all too well and my heart goes out to you and your family.
The house does get over that odd feeling of quiet eventually, if that is any comfort at all.
Oh it is so so sad when a pet dies. They are so part of your family. I treat my cats like my babies and my heart aches for my Bob who died last summer. Thinking about you all.
Love
Lyn

God bless dear Poppy.
so very sorry Alice.
Oh, Alice. My heart is hurting for you and your family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Poppy was so sweet and beloved. She will be missed.
I'm so sorry for your loss, dear Magpies. Such a pure loss.
weren't you all lucky to have her, though.
And wasn't she lucky to have all of you.
Oh Alice, I'm so sorry.

Sad news Alice. So sorry.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I am sure Poppy is romping around doggy heaven, where there are lots of chewy bones delivered by postmen with tasty legs, so there is no need to be too sad.
I'm so very sorry for your loss!
Oh, Alice, I'm so so sorry. I have not been hanging about the blog scene much over the last few months, so I don't know if Poppy had been failing or not. I think about how we feel about our Quincy Boy and my heart goes out to you all over the loss of your dear Poppy. She couldn't have had a better, more loving and nurturing family than the Magpies. xxoo Ginnie
I think that this should be added to the record

I think we all had a lot of fun with Poppy and sometimes it is best just to have the memories, refreshed from time to time by MrsM's writings and photos
Oh Alice I am so sorry! I am sending you hugs from over the ocean! :(
oh no, no, no...
That's terrible.
Don't know what else to say.
big hug.
From one Mrs C to another. So, so sorry to read your news. My thoughts are with you all.
of course some of the best memories do not have photos to back them up. Examples that spring to mind are when Poppy took a very large mouth of four or five slices of fresh bread held by a elderly lady who was planning to feed the ducks (forensics would have had no problem matching her gnashers to the scene of the crime); the time when Poppy tried to jump across a puddle, missed and realised that it was a ditch and went right up to her head in water. She did not look amused when we all fell about laughing at her. She probably thought what awful people we were.
Although she got a little shortsighted she could still spot a Malteser from 50 paces and once knocked over a small child who was pootling along with a small bag of them in her desire to sate her chocaholic needs.
Sorry to hear the sad news about Poppy. They become such a part of the family I know just how much I'll miss Barley when he goes.
So sorry to hear of your loss, and that you were carrying the sad news with you when we met last weekend.
You clearly have wonderful memories of Poppy, along with photos, blogspots and stories. I hope these will give you comfort. My thoughts are with you all.
