CP’s having a Nohea Koa Kanunu Luau!
Written by a CP Intakes
Coordinator
Kanunu, a 3 year old Wheaten boy with a great big personality |
A
luau (lū‘au) is a traditional Hawaiian party or feast, featuring
traditional entertainment, such as Hawaiian music and hula dancing, and
wonderful traditional foods and drink.
At
Col. Potter, when we throw a luau, we have only happy dancing for the
non-traditional re-birth of the soul when we bring a sad Cairn into our loving
arms. This weekend, we have offered
thanks to many invaluable Transport volunteers who have gone above and beyond
to bring our luau guests safely to the dance floor, and we salute their
selfless dedication to saving Cairns in Need.
Without
further ado, please give a round of applause to our very special guests, Nohea
(No-Hay-Ah), Hawaiian meaning “Loveliness”,
Koa (Koh'(W)ah), Hawaiian for “Bold,
Brave, and Fearless”, and Kanunu (Kah-New-New) Hawaiian
for “The Strong One”. All three come
from different places with different stories, and different destinations, but
they all share in common the need for love, understanding, and a fresh start in
life – a re-birth of their very souls as only CP volunteers can offer.
Koa, a sweet as can be 6 year old Black Brindle girl |

Nothing in Life is Free!
Contributed by a Col. Potter
Volunteer
Are
you thinking about adding a new Rescued Cairn to your family? There are many things to consider, and lots of planning to do. You can expect to get many great tips to help
you integrate your New Cairn into your home, so it is good to know that some of
this advice will also will apply to your current resident dogs. Learning to establish and maintain your Alpha
placement is a great example.
Before your new dog arrives, it's important that
you understand that your new dog must accept YOU as the leader of the pack in
order for there to be peace and harmony in the home. Follow the great advice in “It’s Always Best to Start at theBeginning!” and add to it with this very easy training tool: Nothing in Life is Free!”
How to Establish and
Maintain Harmony at Home!
Are
you looking for a good, easy way to develop peaceful, harmonious relationships among
your dogs?
Ask
and you shall receive!
Really!
Every
day, throughout the day, however you choose to set the pattern, you simply need
to Ask the dogs to respond to a simple command, offer praise, then reward with
a high value treat.
Nothing in Life is Free!
When
you ask your dog(s) to “Sit!” for a treat - and make them wait just a bit for the treat - you are
really saying “I am Alpha!” and when you are Alpha, you will ease any tensions
in the pack.
Do not ever give a treat of any kind
without Asking your dog(s) to do a simple task.
The
list of possible commands is long:
"Sit!"
"Down!"
"Here!”
or “Come!"
“Look
at Me!”
“Wait…”
“Crate!”
“Bed!”
Anything
you can ask your dog to do – that he or she will understand – is a great and
easy training tool for harmony. It establishes a calming pattern that carries
over into other aspects of their life.
This
is not to say that there won’t be dust-ups from time to time, but as a strong
Alpha leader, you will find it easier to anticipate and diffuse any issues that
might naturally arise.
Just remember, Nothing in Life is Free!
Doing simple training exercises, every day, you will keep things clear as to who is in charge, and if you are in charge, harmony will reign!
Doing simple training exercises, every day, you will keep things clear as to who is in charge, and if you are in charge, harmony will reign!
**NOTE** Great training treats are small bits of block
cheddar cheese or high quality grain-free kibble. You should factor your training treats into
your puppy’s daily meal portions so you don’t accidentally end up with an
unhealthy weight problem.
Good luck! And thank you again for opening your
heart and home to a rescued Cairn!
Rescuing one Cairn will not change the world,
but it will surely change the world for that one Rescued
Cairn

Please
welcome Gonzo back to the Col. Potter family!
Circumstances took a turn for the worse for his owner and she turned to CP for help. Although it was a heartbreaking decision for her, she knew getting him back to his CP family was the right thing to do. This handsome fellow is 8 years old, 20 pounds, and is described as sweetheart - with just a touch of zany - who will play fetch all day long! So please give a Welcome round of applause for Gonzo as he makes his way back into the loving arms of his Foster Mom intent on finding his Forever home soon!
A special shout out of thanks for CP's rock stars Kim, Kathy, and the entire Transports Team for all of their help!

Bruin Finds the Net at Col. Potter!
Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator
Bruin, a sweet 2.5 year old Wheaten Male |
Since 1924, the Boston Bruins have been at the
epicenter of hockey. But lookout! Bruin is now in the Col. Potter house and getting
ready to be the center of his Forever family's world.
Bruin is a 2.5 year old owner surrender who weighs in at 17 pounds. Like many CP super stars, Bruin's owner's family situation just wasn't the best for his needs, so they turned to CP for help - and we were there to recruit Bruin over to our team!

For his exhibition game, he is hanging out with his
new Foster family and, so far, he is staying out of the penalty box. He
is getting lots of well deserved belly rubs and no doubt feels like he has just
scored the winning goal. So pull out your Bruins' banner and pass it
around the rink to get this playoff started right for this handsome guy!
Welcome Bruin to your Loving CP Family and thank
you Linda N. and the transport team for a perfect save!
