Written by CP's VP of IntakesOne life ends ... and another one begins. One soul is no longer free to walk the earth ... while a different one gains her freedom. Such is the cycle of life. It always comes around full circle. For those whose life ends, they are not forgotten, but remembered warmly and with much joy celebrating their life and what they meant to all they touched.
I don't know about you, but I have a very special spot in my heart for the puppy mill kids. Those that have literally survived the worst conditions one could imagine. Never knowing love, comfort, care even simple basic things like food and water, much less shelter. These are the same furkids that show such joy when reaching freedom and getting that chance to start life anew as they learn all there is to know and enjoy in this new life called freedom.
Yesterday another one of our rescue angels attended an auction in Ohio. We had high hopes of rescuing several Cairns, but it was not to be. This auction was heavily attended as we found out there was a kennel in Minnesota that was being shutdown and going out of business and they had shipped most of their breeding stock to Ohio to this auction. The millers in Ohio were anxious to get fresh breeding lines in their stock and all the dogs were going very high and out of rescue price ranges. But our rescue angel hung in there until the Cairns came up very near the end of the auction. One by one the Cairns were sold to millers at very high prices. But, then a Cairn was put up for auction. She was a little bit larger than the others and was not from the miller in Minnesota. SOLD announced the auctioneer and our rescue angel had one little Cairn girl safely in the loving arms of CP!
This little Cairn's life had just begun anew and she would be able to enjoy freedom, love and caring for the rest of her life thanks to our rescue angel.
Someone very special and very close to someone I care about a great deal passed away a few weeks ago. She was someone who had never had children of her own and lived alone up until two weeks before her death when she no longer could care for herself. During the past few years, her niece had assumed a large portion of her care, visiting weekly, making sure her medications were set out in her weekly pill containers, taking her shopping, getting her hair done, taking her to family events, basically being the daughter that she never had. She had even told her niece that she considered her to be hers. Now she will probably kill me for telling everyone all of this, as she is a private person but I wanted to do something special for Maureen H. and her Aunt Fran and couldn't think of a better way than using the
Name a PM Kid Program.
Please help me welcome Fran to the loving arms of CP! Maureen, I know your Aunt Fran is smiling down on you and this little girl today ... BIG HUGS my friend ...
