What's One More? Welcome Nightcap!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes


You all remember our 26 furkids - the Cheers to Col. Potter group - who reached freedom two weeks ago with the help of some special people from one of our wonderful vets. Well, when I got the call there was a little girl in the same area that was being offered her chance at freedom, they found room for one more at the vet clinic. Even though she's not part of the Cheers to Col. Potter Kids, she's been bunking with them and the vet staff thought she was a fitting ending, a finale to our Cheers and should have a name to match. So, they came up with Nightcap, the last one ... well at least for a little while.

Nightcap is a beautiful little girl estimated to be 2 years old. She's a red wheaten who is very shy and frightened, but I know with lots of love and patience in her foster home, she will soon be showing that she is a true Cairn.

And so, here's to Nightcap who made it #27 that our wonderful vet is helping us with this month ... CHEERS and WELCOME!

WATCH A VIDEO OF STINGER'S PUPPIES AT PLAY- ALREADY!

Written by Stinger and her puppies' foster mom

The other night, we left to go out to eat supper and came back two and a half hours later. When we returned home, it was like the puppies had watched Wrestlemania while we were gone and had learned all sorts of moves!

Here's the video of their first play. I hope you enjoy this!

Please welcome and watch the puppies Scorpion and Banshee from the Cheers to Col. Potter Group!

Scorpion and Banshee

These are two of the puppies from the Cheers to Colonel Potter group.These two puppies ARE from the same litter!! Amazing size difference isn't it! They are so different in personalities as well!! The boys have been here just a couple of days and are a HANDFUL!! Forgot how much laundry needs to be done when you have babies around. And the newspaper dirty pile keeps a growing.

Scorpion's just a little tike, not even two pounds!! He is active in that he is not lethargic, but not active like a 'normal' puppy his age. He really has no interest in toys, but will play some with his brother who easily kicks his little butt everytime. He is pretty vocal when he is wrestling with him. He is eating and gaining weight well but is very mellow, which as we all know, is not typical Cairn behavior!! He would really like to cuddle all the time. I have put him in his crate at times and YIKES! Hear him scream! He does have some attitude apparently so we are working on that little by little.

Big Boy Banshee on the other hand.... WOW, what a kid. His name fits him like a glove!! He is all energy and constantly moving. Especially that little tail of hi! s, always wagging. He is such a happy boy. And he does everything with GUSTO!! Talk about ATTITUDE!! This boy is going to be keeping someone else busy SOON - hopefully, for our sakes!!!! This kid is wearing me out!! He can be a little vocal in his crate as well.

What was really special is that their Blankie Auntie, Pam , helped to transport these babies to us and had their blankies all ready for them and was able to give the blankets to them herself! Just not in their crates so they didn't poop on them!!! Thank you Auntie Pam!!

They both love attention and give lots of kisses. Aren't they adorable!!!

Hope you all enjoy the pictures! As you can see Banshee Boy was hard to catch most of the time! The outdoor and indoor blanket pictures are from Thursday, all of the other pictures are from the night they arrived.

Please watch their video to "see them in action!"

Welcome Stinger and her 4 puppies at 16 days old from the Cheers to Col. Potter Group!!

Written by Stinger and her puppies Foster Mom

While I was away having fun at CRAP, my husband drove over three hours one way to pick up our new foster family on Friday. He had the normal pack of 10 here, plus the momma and her 4 babies from the Cheers to Col. Potter group. We've been on the list to whelp, but the timing has never been right.

This family worked out perfectly, plus I've already missed the stressful part of worrying about birthing the babies!

So meet Stinger, a sweet girl that's about 16.5# after her meal and carrying the kid's supper. She's a pretty wheaten that's been shaved down except for hair on the top of her head like a Chinese Crested and a poof on the end of her tail resembling a poodle We'll clean that up at a later date and get her evened out so she looks a bit more Cairn.



Shirley Temple is the chubbiest of the 4 puppies and lightest in color, weighing in this morning at 20 oz.


Next in size is Slush (male) at 18 oz.


Swizzle (male) weighs in at 13 oz, and he has a bit of a blaze of white on his chest and on his left front toes.


Little Fizz (male) is also a little guy at 13 oz.


While we had mom outside pottying today, I was in about to change the linens in the bed and turned to find Fizz had made his way to the door on the whelping box, popping up to the top first, so I knew which one needed to take that name out of the group assigned to these kids.I put a Sharpie next to them so you can kind of see their size. Their little eyes have partially opened - they look like they're peeking out at their new world.

I hope you enjoy these pictures and I'll be taking videos as soon as I get into a routine with this puppy thing and get a little more sleep!
