Three Fates are in Col. Potter!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Puppy millers control every aspect of a dog's very being; conception, birth, life and finally, death. These dogs are at the mercy of the millers. Their life and future are constantly in peril and their fate is always in question. They don't know love, kindness, comfort or care. They exist for one purpose and one purpose only; to produce income for the miller.

Greek mythology tells of the white-robed Moirae (the Three Fates). They were the personification of destiny and controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal and immortal from birth to death (and beyond). Millers portray their own Moirae when it comes to the innocent and helpless animals they possess. On some level, I would like to think the tables are turned and the animals are now the Moirae and control the life and destiny of the millers, especially in the beyond.

Three little girls had their destiny drastically change this weekend when they were released from an Amish PM in PA. The weather was raging and their journey was cut short, but they made it to freedom and have found a whole new life with Col. Potter.

Meet the Three Fates:

Clotho ("spinner") spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Our Clotho is an 11 pound female, who is pretty scared and frightened, but will now be able to spin a whole new life for herself.



Lachesis ("alotter") measured the thread of life with her rod. CP's Lachesis is a very thin and tiny 8 pound female, whose nails are so long they cause her to limp, but will now have a long and happy thread of life ahead of her.



Atropos ("inexorable") was the cutter of the thread of life. This Atropos weighs 13 pounds and is a female who has been able to cut the thread of her life in the PM.



My thanks to Deborah, the Rescue Angel who continues to get the dogs out of the Amish Puppy Mills, Jeanine D. for stepping in to get the Three Fates picked up when they couldn't reach their intended destination and for finding a vet locally to board and vet them.

Please help more PM kids achieve a positive destiny. Please consider donating to Name a PM Kid, sponsoring one of them as a Guardian Angel or as a Grandparent. The expenses associated with rescuing PM kids continues to rise and makes it more and more difficult for CP to say yes to these furkids. They deserve a chance to realize what their Three Fates could and should have been, to have a happily ever after in their destiny, but we are having to say NO to some because we don't currently have the resources. I know times are tough and the Fates have not been kind to all of us, but what you think is tough, is nothing compared to what these PM kids endure day in and day out. Right now it is well below zero in many areas of the country without factoring in the wind chill. My heart breaks thinking about any PM kid surviving in these conditions right now. PLEASE see if there isn't some way you can help to change the Fate of a PM kid by helping to support them monetarily. I know doing so will help the Fates look down kindly on you ...
