My lady friend Poppy, is a beautiful Beagle. Beagles are best known as scent hounds because they have an extraordinary sense of smell. Some of Poppy’s distant relatives have highly important jobs and are employed by customs agencies around the world, as detection dogs. Their speciality is to scent out illegally imported foods. Poppy’s speciality is to scent out empty crisp packets at home – and she’s really very good at that. Once she finds them she licks the packets meticulously, until they’re as clean as a dish.

Poppy is also a connoisseur of fine water. She won’t just drink any water though, but prefers the nice bubbly water out of the shower tray (she probably thinks it’s champagne).
She gets really excited when it’s windy, raising her nose high in the air to savour all the smells in the atmosphere – she must be able to smell the crisp packets from the pub down the road.
As you can see from the photo below – just like my cousin Austin, Poppy also likes to laze on the sofa.
So what I want to know is: how come I’m not allowed to sleep on the sofa …???
