A NEW GIRL JOINS CP WITH A SPECIAL NAME

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Wesky

All of the furkids that come through CP are special, but some just touch our hearts a little more. I'm always particularly touched by the older furkids that have spent their entire lives in a puppymill and especially the older mill mamas. They have given and given until they have nothing left to give. No one has ever given anything to them, but they have given birth to litter after litter of puppies, more than likely every six months. They have nourished and cared for their babies until they were taken away from them, more than likely at a very early age. They didn't get any medical care, any soft, comfy spot to whelp and care for their babies, no special vitamins or food to supplement themselves or their babies. Their bodies are pretty much used up and then discarded.

One such mill mama that has forever touched my heart was CP's Wesson, known as Sparky to her mom and dad, Lori and Mike R. Wesson was almost 12 years old when she came into CP and I fought to make sure she made it into CP and didn't end her life in the Puppy Mill. We truly thought she would come into CP to be held in loving arms while she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. She had so many medical issues to deal with. But Wesson had other thoughts and enjoyed her freedom and being Queen of her Castle with Lori and Mike for several more years.

In honor and memory of Wesson aka Sparky, please help me Welcome Wesky (WESson and SparKY). Coincidentally, Wesky made her way from Arkansas (where the Rs live) all the way to Wisconsin to be surrendered to Col. Potter. The daughter of a breeder I work with up here in Wisconsin lives in Arkansas. When it was time for her to release Wesky, she only wanted her to come to CP to insure she was well taken care of and found a wonderful home. Her mother has raved about how good CP is to work with and what wonderful care we have taken care of her Cairns she has released to us. So, this past weekend, Wesky traveled from Arkansas to Wisconsin and I picked her up yesterday.

Wesky is an adorable, friendly, lively, little 13 pound, 4 year old female. I've already warned her foster mom, Julie R., to make sure she has a BIG sign and lots of them scattered around her home. This little girl is something special ... just like her namesake. I know Wesson/Sparky is looking down and will keep a close eye on Wesky until she finds her forever home ...
