The horrendous, insidious acts this
Monday at the Boston Marathon reinforce how fragile and unpredictable life can
be. In today's world, it is impossible to safeguard your family and
friends against these random, tragic acts of violence against innocent people
by such militant and agitated groups or individuals who have no regard for
human life. The silver lining is that every tragedy shows us the many
heroic individuals, who emerge, and the strength and resolve of people not to
give in to this threat to our freedom.
In the midst of the chaos and
turmoil of Monday, two little Cairns
won their freedom and found safety with Col. Potter. Both of them are
named from our Name
a Rescue Cairn Program. This program is such a wonderful way to honor
or remember someone, while helping a little Cairn in need. It truly is
the gift that keeps on giving the gift of life.
#4371 Kevin Patrick: Male, Black
Brindle, DOB 9/27/05 - donated by Jan and Stan D. in memory of
their nephew, who was only 28 years old when he was murdered in December
2000. Kevin was an Air Force vet who served as an MP with a great canine
German Shepherd as his partner.
#4372 LaVon: Female, Gray Brindle,
DOB 6/13/10 - donated by Doreen and Bill W. Bill won a family football
pool and donated his winnings in memory of his mom, Mary LaVon Walker.
Out of Monday's tragedy, our
silver lining came in the form of one little Black Brindle and one little Gray
Brindle Cairn getting their first taste of Freedom. Please help us welcome
Kevin Patrick and LaVon to the CP family!
