Announcing the "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day" Kids!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

The saying is "Rome wasn't built in a day" and nothing could be more true than what it took for these furkids to reach CP. One of our rescue angels was scheduled to pick-up two females from a puppy mill in mid-January, but due to a bad snowstorm was unable to get them. When she tried again, she was told the Cairns weren't going to be released. Then the miller contacted her and upped the ante, but I refused the demands. End of story? Not at all. Those building blocks were already laid in a foundation and just waiting for the right time for the building to begin. Sometimes it takes a little longer than expected or hoped for the building to take place. Last week the puppy mill once again contacted our rescue angel. Apparently they had enough of having to feed and keep the Cairns and agreed to MY terms. But, then the best part, instead of releasing two females, we were now getting three females and one male! Our Roman Empire was not only once again being built, but was being enlarged!!

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the" Rome Wasn't Built in a Day Kids":

Maxmillian - M, estimated to be 6-8 years old, his left eye has been permanently damaged from lack of care and he has lost vision in it, however, he hasn't lost his zest for life and is ready to rule his own empire as the Holy Roman Emperor he's named after did between 1508 and 1519.



Margaret - F, estimated to be 4-5 years old, a petite little beauty named after the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian.



Bianca - F, estimated to be 5-6 years old, who's picture will melt your heart and is named after the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian's second wife.



Leonor - F, estimated to be 5-6 years old, she's the matronly one of the group and likes to boss around Bianca, so it was only fitting that she be named after the Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian's maternal grandmother.



I would like to thank a couple of very special rescue angels, Deborah and Cindy, for not giving up on these Cairns and driving the miles and meeting at all hours of the night to finally get Rome built!

Welcome Kids and long may you rule your new empire called FREEDOM!
