CP OPENS IT'S ARMS TO THE RAINBOW BRIDGE ANGELS

I'm going to give you all a tissue alert before you read any farther, so go get a tissue ... The magic of Col. Potter is that we all feel so deeply for the little furkids that we so desperately try to help. In many ways, Col. Potter is like family because we have this common bond. A common bond that many of our own family and friends can't quite wrap their arms around, but the Col. Potter family can. We all celebrate together ... and we all grieve together.

In our hearts there is something called the Rainbow Bridge where our beloved furkids go. There they are once again young, healthy and surrounded by love and care waiting until the day that we can once again join them. Each one that leaves us takes a little piece of our heart with them and we never forget them.

Col. Potter has a wonderful program to help puppymill kids and honor the memory of someone special - human or animal. This is a living tribute that a PM Cairn carries forth. This program has enabled CP to help countless PM kids by providing funding earmarked specifically for PM kids. The donated names are used exclusively for PM kids. I am the fortunate one that gets to work with the donors and I can tell you that each and every donation truly touches me.

Yesterday, seven (7) little Cairns made their way to freedom from a puppymill. They are all older, but now thanks to CP and in part, the donations to the Name a PM Kid program they have a very bright future! Please allow me to introduce the Rainbow Bridge Angels:

Miss Maggie: Female, DOB 3/31/01, wheaten w/ dark ears - anonymous donor in memory of Sandy Tiller's Maggie

Tallulah Bean: Female, DOB 1/22/03, red wheaten w/ dark ears - anonymous donor in memory of Karen Parrot's Daffney Lou

Chaskye: Female, DOB 1/23/03, black brindle - anonymous donor in memory of CP's Chastity and adoptive home's Skye

Cocoloco: Female, DOB 6/7/03, wheaten - anonymous donor in memory of Beth Adam's Colada


Newtsand: Male, DOB 5/28/02, cream w/ dark tips - anonymous donor in memory of CP's Sandia and Rebecca Price's Newton

Phineas Phog: M, DOB 6/8/01, wheaten - donated by Keren McLendon in memory of CP's and Dave' Warren-Taylor's Phyllo

Shortcake: M, DOB 6/7/03, wheaten - in memory of CP's Shortbread who only knew freedom for a short time before he was sent to the RB

These seven won't bring back any of the furkids they are named in honor and memory of, but I know each one of them has a very special Guardian Angel watching down over them. They are a living tribute to some wonderful and much loved furbabies. My thanks to a couple that are always there and ready to help the furkids for their assistance with this group. Also to the donors who made this possible.

One final thought, Saturday night was the Memorial for Skye at Oz Project. How great is it that they remember the other six that are part of the Rainbow Bridge Angels along with Skye ... I know I will be looking towards the heavens tonight hoping to catch a glimpse of a few bright and shining stars. Maybe it was fate, or maybe there are far greater powers at work to have made this happen at the same time ... furkids they are named in honor and memory of, but I know each one of them has a very special Guardian Angel watching down over them. They are a living tribute to some wonderful and much loved furbabies. My thanks to a couple that are always there and ready to help the furkids for their assistance with this group and to the donors who made this possible.
