Outdoor daytime in a sunlit backyard garden, Poppy, the brown sausage dog puppy, bounds through an open wooden gate onto lush grass, ears flopping and mouth open in a joyful bark. Flower beds and a small birdbath frame the scene.
Poppy, the brown sausage dog puppy, ran excitedly into the garden. "What wonderful smells!" she barked joyfully.
Morning sunlight filters over a colorful flower patch in the same garden; Poppy stands with front paws planted, muzzle buried in bright blossoms, nose twitching. Dewy petals and buzzing bees hover around her focused face.
She sniffed the colorful flowers carefully. "These smell so nice!" Poppy said, her nose twitching in delight.
Under the midday sun on the grassy lawn, Poppy sits with hind legs splayed while her tail blurs in rapid wagging. Blades of grass brush her paws and a stray dandelion puff drifts past her delighted eyes.
Her tail wagged super fast from happiness. Poppy bounced around, feeling the tickle of grass under her paws.
Cloudy afternoon in the muddy garden, Poppy stands mid-splash inside a shallow puddle, droplets frozen around her small paws. Reflected sky ripples while wet pawprints lead back across the grass toward a tipped watering can.
Suddenly, Poppy stepped into a puddle. "Oh! My paws are all soggy now," she giggled, splashing a little with each step.
