Sunday Sweets

Sunday is full of SWEETS!  Each week we showcase the sweeter side of Cairns.  If you have a sweet filled Cairn and would like us to consider YOUR photo for an upcoming "Sunday Sweets!" send it to us at cpcrnblog@gmail.com (All photo submissions become the property of CPCRN and may be used for fundraising, promotion and/or outreach purposes.).
 
 
 Remembering all the Cairns who have come and gone.


 

***********Each and every one, Forever in our hearts!!!!***********

 

Sweet Sophie never met a blanket or quilt she didn’t love! 

 


 Baby D say’s Mommy thought I was the  perfect CARIN on Luggage!

 

Here is Mischief, Cairn Terrier Extraordinaire, Queen of the WORLD, who ruled the family (Daddy’s favorite child), the house, the yard, the neighborhood and all she surveyed for 15 1/2 years! Adorable puppy shot from back in the day when we were young. She was looking sweet… just before she got into MISCHIEF!

 


 CP Gustav, aka Gus, hopefully running free of blindness 

among friends, gave us 10 years of happiness to our family.

 

 

Wookie will be gone 6 months tomorrow. He is missed so very much.  I miss his little bark alerting me to food time the most. He would wake up and walk to the gate, even being blind and deaf he always knew where the gate was!  He loved his food, snacks, small walks and especially napping by the fire place.  He was my favorite little old man and my Wookie cookie.

 

 

CP’s Lana Turner. Pulled from puppy mill in 2003, passed at 17 yrs old of old age.  A doggie diplomat who kept the pack in line.  Ever so gentle and loving, truly a Momma’s girl.

 

CP’s Huey.  Adopted as a puppy in 2004, passed at 14 yrs old of cancer.  A favorite of everyone who met him.  So playful and fun-loving; could make a game of anything (such as leaping to catch the sprinkler’s water spray). 

 

 


CP’s Aingeal Yani.  Saved from the streets in 2012, passed at 15 yrs old of cancer.  Never-ending energy; always looking for new adventure; knew every trick in the book; loved his agility classes.

 

 

Nikos and Raquel, together again

 

Hospice foster Punkin Pie, crossed the Rainbow Bridge loved .

Annie Laurie...2 years and 7 months of enjoying freedom thanks to Col Potter

 


 On Friday we set Marcello free.  His kidneys and liver were failing and he had a large tumor in his liver which was pressing on everything else and near to bursting.

We knew this day would come and so we spent the last few months giving him even more of the best possible life he could have.

He was well loved, charmed everyone he met, and quietly bent us to his will.

I love him so very much. 

Thanks to Sandy Yost for fostering him and delivering him into our lives.

Thank you to Col Potter for trusting us with the most precious gift.

This is Rye Hopkins

Adopted from CP on 8/14/2010

Fostered by Doreen Walker

Each of my furbabies get their own song that I give them and Rye's song is: Happiest Girl in the Whole USA

So loved by both her Momma and Dad

 

Gwen. My first pup ever, my only cairn. She was the sweetest pup that has ever lived! She loved sunbathing, eating popcorn, apples, and cucumbers, traveling, sticking her face out the window on low speed car rides in our neighborhood, and being with her mama. She was my soulmate and I miss her everyday. She passed away at 15-1/2 on April 3, 2021.

 


 Lilly- she always knew when we were having a tough day- she’d come cuddle and put her head in my lap. So miss that tender sweet girl- our Lillybell.

 

Kenzie loved everyone--men, women, children, babies. Best Cairn ever!

 

Honey Girl:  1st Cairn, outstanding mentor to many CP fosters, always and forever in my heart

 

Willie Mac:   sweet, mellow personality, foster promoted to Forever, best buddy to CP male fosters

 

Meeka:         CP mill Mama foster, promoted to Forever, became a special mentor dog to fosters from puppy mills

 

Lacey Jayne:  Came out of the Katrina aftermath, HW+, promoted from foster to Forever; mentor to puppies

 

Pip:              Australian Terrier, CP foster promoted to Forever; happy personality even when blind and deaf

 


 Carver aka CP Carver. He passed away April 12, 2022 with complications due to Diabetes.  The most thing I will always remember him, are his eyes. Just the innocent look he always gave me melted my heart 

I will always Love him and I really do miss him. He was a small dog (baby) in a big dog package.

 

 

My little Krysia was lovingly set free on May 6, 2022.  She 

did not suffer long but she was so embarrassed or upset when

her little bladder just gave out.  My memories of her are so full.

she loved to do tricks and would make sure we did them every night.

Her favorite was to play "stay"  and "come"  she would run to me so happy.

In the evenings, she would cuddle in my lap and play "Paw" .  Her brother Drugi,

always protected her.  She loved to run and sometimes not when I wanted her

to run.  She was just my silly little girl.  Her favorite thing was to sit in the front

seat when we went through the car wash.  She was fascinated by the water

and the soap.  She would sometimes try to catch some.  Could not figure out

why the window would not allow her to play.  We miss her every day.  She was 14 years young.  She is the little Wheaton

 

 


Ruffy…..the sweetest Therapy dog ever!  He loved visiting kiddos in the hospital and helping them read in school. They loved seeing Toto!  He touched so many!

 


 Sweet Harmony a former Mill dog didn't have 1 dog characteristic 

when she arrived with us, she was making great strides on 

becoming a dog when Cancer Stole her from us a year after we took her in.

 


Jacques was an older owner surrender along with his sister 

Mabelline. When they first arrived , The wouldn't leave each others side.

He was a mans dog and his daddy misses him so much



Mabelline like her brother Jacques Above only lived a year 

longer than Jacques. Now they are together Again


Mouse had a heart murmer and one day his lil ole heart just 

up and gave out. He came back in from from a potty in the yard, 

Laid down in his favorite spot, called his daddy over and gave daddy kisses, 

 Laid down and Crossed the bridge within seconds. He was A Real Mommies Boy



Albert J was young and quite the hider. For a beefy solid boy, he would hide 

in the tiniest of places, such as under an antique Victorola, or

even in the middle of a freshly mowed lawn.



Zoey was a smart girl, She would untie her knotted ropes and 

knotted rope balls with out ever breaking a strand on it

ALWAYS APPRECIATE AND CHERISH YOUR FURKIDS

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Have you ever had a furkid go to the Rainbow Bridge? And you thought you couldn't bear the pain? Rare breed are those of us that are dog lovers, treat our furkids like family and would generally rather be in the company of a dog than a human. Very little else in life is as devastating as the loss of a dog. And when they are young and healthy one day and are taken by a sudden illness the next, the shock can be unbearable.

Right now I am living with the shock of losing a furkid who was happy, healthy and young one day and dead three days later. Don't ever miss or skip the opportunity to Appreciate and Cherish your furkids each and every day--you never know when it will be their last...

I know you all will Appreciate and Cherish, CP's two new members of the family:

Cherish - Female, wheaten, 1 year old



Appreciate - Female, wheaten, 4 year old


As much as we try to spend as much time as possible with our pets, please take an extra minute right now to hug your furkids. You never know, you might not get that opportunity tomorrow ...

My thanks to our dedicated volunteers for staying up very late the other night night to tag and take pictures of the furkids once our rescue contact arrived with them. For those many foster homes who stepped up to help this group as well as JB, Ranger, Onyx and Hematite, please know that JB, Ranger, Onyx and Hematite have found foster homes.

I'm currently working with several adoptive homes who have applied to become foster homes with the hope one of these pups will become a permanent member of their family. Once I have those sorted, then I will start working on foster homes for the other Card Game Kids. Thank YOU for stepping up to help these furkids and I'll be in touch with those foster homes who are a fit for one of the Card Game Kids.

So, anyone ready to play with the Card Game Kids? Just give them a little time and they'll show you what they can do with their GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card! Welcome babies ... you've just won the biggest card game for the rest of your lives!

More Sad News ...

Vega joined her brothers Corvair and Corvette at the Bridge this morning. All three were loved deeply by all of us in the Col. Potter family and felt human kindness till the end. Sweet little furkids play and have fun - suffer no more! (Click here to view the story of Rainbow Bridge set to music, have your kleenex ready.)

Vega is the 3rd of 5 siblings to go to the Bridge. The GOOD NEWS is Belair is doing GREAT and kept down her food and her meds yesterday! Looks like she is coming home to join her brother, Camaro, who has been home since yesterday morning. He is a handful and doing GREAT as well. Cutlass, Aurora and Camaro woke up at 1 am just having one heck of a play time. We are going to have 4 beautiful, healthy and happy puppies looking for warm and loving homes!

Thank you to the puppies Foster Mom, Pam M., for her tireless work on behalf of these little ones and thank you to all our volunteers and supporters that make this possible!

Please Light a Candle for Two of Our Little "Cars"

It is with great sadness that we report that two of our little "Cars", Corvette and Corvair, are now Col. Potter Angels. Things are still dicey for Vega and Belair so please, please keep praying for them. Don't forget prayers for Puppy Foster Mom Pam, her vet and all the staff that are working so hard to save these precious kids.

Please light a candle for Corvette's and Corvair's journey to Rainbow Bridge where they will be able to play and run free.
