Princess Poppy, a 6-year-old female boxer, has a bedtime routine that’s both adorable and a little out of the ordinary for dogs. One key element in her nightly ritual is the Dog Sleep Mask, a quirky accessory that has become an essential part of her winding-down process.
Born on Christmas Day in 2018, Poppy quickly won the hearts of her owners, Vanessa Nelson and her family. It wasn’t long before she developed an attachment to a pink Dog Sleep Mask, a tradition that started as a lighthearted joke. One night, after placing the mask on Poppy just for fun, Vanessa returned to find her dog peacefully sleeping with the mask on. It became clear then that Poppy found comfort in the mask, and it has been part of her bedtime routine ever since.
How the Dog Sleep Mask Became Part of Poppy’s Routine
It all began when Vanessa, a fan of sleep masks, decided to share her love for the accessory with Poppy. “I sleep with a mask myself, and I had an extra one lying around. I placed it on her for fun, but when I returned, she was already asleep,” Vanessa recalls. Poppy quickly got used to wearing it and started crying every night until it was placed on her before bedtime.
Poppy’s attachment to her Dog Sleep Mask didn’t end there. She soon became particular about her bedtime routine. She would curl up under the covers, snuggling into her pillow just like any pampered human would. “Poppy loves getting her ‘me time’ before sleep, much like me,” says Vanessa.
The Importance of the Dog Sleep Mask in Poppy’s Life
Poppy’s bedtime ritual has become a family affair, with Vanessa and her family ensuring that she follows her routine every night. Whether she’s at home with Vanessa or staying with grandma and grandpa, Poppy’s Dog Sleep Mask remains a must-have item for her peaceful sleep. The bond between Poppy and her family has grown even stronger because of their shared commitment to this unique nightly tradition.
One memorable incident occurred when Poppy’s beloved Dog Sleep Mask went missing. The family searched high and low for it, but Poppy wouldn’t settle down without it. Vanessa rushed out to buy a replacement mask just so everyone could get some rest. From that moment, Poppy’s collection of sleep masks grew, ensuring she would never have to go without her favorite bedtime accessory again.
Poppy’s connection with her Dog Sleep Mask goes beyond mere comfort – it’s a symbol of the deep love and understanding between her and her owner. “Poppy is my world,” says Vanessa. “She’s my best friend, my soul dog. I would do anything for her, and I know she would do the same for me.”
