Meet Poppet

Breed: Toy Poodle

Barking from: Ponsonby, Auckland

What's up dog?

Poppet is the Fluffy Manager and Chief Velvet Tester at Trove Interior Design. Our clients and suppliers love her. We have yet to meet anyone who is impervious to Poppet's gentle and sweet nature as she gently worms her way onto your lap and into your heart. She is also a style icon within the Interior Design industry. She is extremely fashion forward and is well known around Auckland for her fabulous outfits and her savant-like gift for choosing the perfect accessories. She also fills in on a pro-bono basis as hair piece for our Business Manager's head, such is her generous and charitable nature. Still, she hasn't let her fame and abilities spoil her, and remains humble, adorable and genuinely excited to make a new friend, whatever the circumstances. Poppet has an uncannily empathetic understanding of precisely how much love and attention a person needs. She never overstays her welcome, but is always so sweet and gentle in her interactions. We have many clients who cal into our studio on a regular basis not to see us, but to spend some quality time with Pops. It is lovely so see the tension drop from their shoulders as they spend time with her. For those of us who work with Pops, she doesn't demand attention while we are busy, but is always there for a cuddle and a chat when we need a break. She has been part of our business for ten years and features on the company website. Frankly, she is the best Fluffy Manager we have ever had.
