Puppies and poppies – it’s a story I hold close to my heart, one I would like to share with you.

​​

​I grew up in the countryside of France. As a child, I would watch the poppies bloom in the fields, so fragile yet so strong. Full in colors and beauty, I was admirative. Later, I was told that poppies were among the first plants to sprout on this devasted landscape, after the war left it torn apart. Their symbol of resilience, beauty, and hope must have touched people’s heart just like it was touching mine decades later.

This spirit of poppies is seen in puppies as well. So fragile and resolute, full of strength and potential. Their incredible resilience should not mislead us on their nature. Just as a poppy fade if cut and placed in a vase, a puppy suffers in inappropriate conditions. They require thoughtful attention, understanding, and nurturing to help them reach their fullest expression and truly flourish.

There’s a deeper connection between these two: beyond the simple similarity of their names, there’s a shared message of resilience and the importance of care. In my business, I take this inspiration to heart, offering the care and attention every puppy deserves, so they can bloom just like the poppies—full of life, love, and resilience.
