It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you our newest little girl BeBe has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
This little girl was so undernourished and weak when she came in to CP. She weighed just 8#. After a week of quality food and love at the vet, she had gained a full pound and was now up to 9#.
She was getting ready to travel to her foster home tomorrow to start her new life in freedom. A wonderful new volunteer had BeBe comfortably resting at her home. She was no more than a couple of feet away from BeBe, who was resting comfortably in her crate. When she went to take her out of her crate for a potty break, BeBe had passed. It was very quick and very peaceful.
Maybe the special man BeBe is named in memory of needed a companion and called her to him ... at least that's what I would like to think ...
Sometimes life just isn't fair and this is certainly one of those cases. BeBe was in very poor condition when she came from the commercial breeding facility. Now was supposed to be her time to know love, be pampered and become a Cairn Princess. She'll now have to experience those things at the Rainbow Bridge.
Please light your candles to show her the way. Run free and healthy precious little BeBe -- you are so loved ...

Ecstasy and agony--meet new girl BeBe
Written by CP's VP of Intakes
Last Saturday I received an urgent message from one of our rescue partners. A commercial breeding facility was retiring some dogs and the rescue that was supposed to take all the dogs left some behind including two little Cairn girls -- could Col. Potter help? After hurriedly scrambling around for boarding over 4th of July and talking to our volunteers, we made arrangements to pick them up on Monday. That fell through so we tried again for Tuesday. That fell through as well.
Yesterday I received word that one of the little girls had been very sick since they picked her up. She was having seizures and even though they had started her on phenobarbitol it wasn't helping and yesterday she was having severe seizures. The vet this rescue works with diagnosed her as having water on the brain and had probably had it for some time. Her diagnosis was not good and they helped her to the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She was estimated to be 9 years old. The agony that this little one never got to feel the love of Col. Potter.
Today, the other little girl finally made it into the loving arms of Col. Potter thanks to volunteer Ken and photos thanks to Deborah. She is estimated to be 5 years old and everyone that has come in contact with her says the same thing -- she is just the sweetest little girl!!
BeBe is named through the Name a Mill Cairn program in memory of a good friend of Amy and Brian's who lost his battle earlier this year. Please help me welcome this adorable little girl.
This intake is very bittersweet. There is the ecstasy of knowing BeBe is now receiving the care she needs in the loving arms of Col. Potter, but also the agony of knowing the other little girl never knew good care or love. Even though she wasn't officially a CP furkid, please light a candle for the little girl who only knew agony her whole life.
