Poppy's Room! It Had To Happen! Pic heavy

[Allee]

If anyone is interested, I found this thread and it explains rather well how Poppy's swing and her room became an ongoing issue. Haha, it also explains how Popeye came to be Poppy instead.

Poppy is a terrible slob and I enable her on a regular basis. This was Poppy's awful, horrible, sort of nice day, so she can tell you about it herself.

A Queen's cage is her castle! Life is good!


Stop that! What are you doing? Put that back! Get out of my room!


I mean it! Stop futzing around with my things! Do you know how silly you look inside my cage? Get out of there!


Fine! You want to talk about this? I'll talk; You listen!

I know more than you think, Lady! For instance, I know you finally ran completely out of that blue fleece, about time too, you got it before you even knew I was a girl. You bought a ton of it so you could take my swing apart and rewrap it, then bring it back all fluffy and smelling funny. Sure, I went along with the alien story again and again but why would an alien abduct my swing? It's mine!!!

Oh yeah, I'm onto you all right, the tree branch that suddenly grew naturally right through my swing so I couldn't stand on it anymore? You thought the pink spots on my feet were pressure sores from my swing! Well they did disappear after that but....WHATEVER! That's not even the point!

What you said about my worn out swing! Take it back, all of it! I don't tease you about your favorite PJ's or your goofy Yorkie socks. What's the difference? I hate good-byes!

I feel the same way, Old Buddy! We've been through a lot together. Sniff!

Hello! You changed up my whole room!

This is a nice touch. You're playing me again. You know I'm a sucker for pretty beads on a happy plate and you put it in my cozy corner. No fair.


I'm not saying I LIKE it but the colors are nice and the sisal perch is okay. This bug is better than the evil monkey and she rattles when I shake her. I think I need to squeeze her face!

Thank you, Mom! I don't say it often enough but you're the coolest!


2 hours later. Time for bed!

CHANGE IT BACK! I HATE YOU! GIMME MY WOOBIE!


Ten minutes before lights out.

I am not going to sleep until you give it back! You're not the boss of me! I'm telling Dad!

As you can see, Poppy has had a change of heart. Apparently the good will she felt toward me and her new room was a temporary, heat of the moment, lapse of reasoning. I have enrolled her in a rage management class and her computer privileges have been revoked until further notice.

Hahaha I always love Poppy's "personality" and dialogue .

That swing is very impressive! Your talent for that kind of stuff is out of this world. It's incredible! Such cute pics like always .

 

[Christinenc2000]

Such a sweetie

 

[JerseyWendy]

I can't breathe!!! Poppy's face as it's getting closer to bedtime is hilarious!!! She really wanted her old woobie back, huh?

Gosh, Allee, I LOVE how you outfitted her room and cage! :heart:

 

[Anansi]

ROTFL!!! Yet another hilarious Poppy story! I love it!

And you do realize that your toys are simply better than most anything else on the market, right? Just saying.

Thanks for the giggle. She's a hilarious girl.

 

[Pinkbirdy]

Haaa Ha !!! That was the best

You really should consider a side career as a 'too toy maker. Rocky would love a swing like that and a cozy corner like that, too, except he got stuck with a mommy whose crafty skills are pathetic AT BEST. However, mommy would be really happy to pay somebody else to make them for him.

I just love this pic. Poppy looks like a queen or a pope standing on a high platform addressing the humble crowds! Here ye, here ye.......

Love the story line, as always!

Thank you for the compliments everyone! If only my darling drama queen shared your opinions. I hung her old swing on her play stand and she spent most of the day sitting next to it and pouting. I think she accidentally touched the new swing a couple of times. She's been glaring at me and screaming off and on all day.

Poor baby, this is the only safe spot in her tidy cage. Even her cozy corner isn't interesting anymore.


Valerie, Rocky needs a swing! It's really easy, no special talent required. I'm going to make a smaller version for Harry, I'll post photos and instructions if you'd like.

 

[Siobhan]

Please do. The only pet store just doesn't have a Rocky-size swing and what constitutes "large enough for a 'too" at the online pet supply places is NOT large enough for a 'too. They must not know any 'toos. Last "large" thing I got was about right for the Quakers.

 

[Kiwibird]

Even if she makes a terrible mess, she is still so cute! That pic of her cheek feathers all puffed out reminds me of a snowy owl.

Valerie, I know exactly what you mean, even the 'extra large' toys aren't big enough for Toos. That's why I made Poppy's first swing. This design is a lot easier and a lot better for their feet. I'll post the instructions for you in the DIY section in the next few days.

Thank you, April! She reminds me of a snowy owl too.

Love the Poppy stories, lol!

Willow can't stand when I touch/clean/change her cage. All 3 got it yesterday, and she was a bit pout-y as well. However I didn't change the perches in her cages, her stand now had 2 LARGE pieces of maple......which she HATES because it's SO HARD to destroy! lol!
