Remie's Pups are 3 weeks old and we have pictures!

Contributed by Remie and the Sar's Brigades Foster Mom

The babies turned three weeks old this week. They are now playing, growling, moving around on wobbly little fat legs and trying to climb.

Remember acually went outside today for about 15 minutes, the first time she voluntarily went outside since the babies were born!



The babies were starting to climb up on the pig rails of the whelping box, if they went over they would not be able to get back in so they got NEW DIGS!

Thank you for all you do to support the cause of rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming cairn terriers.

The babies are doing well - we have advanced from

Dylan ( 4 oz ) to ( 6 oz) 10/6/10

Hope ( 6 oz ) to ( 8 oz) 10/07/10

Sirius ( 4 oz ) to ( 7 OZ) 10/07/10

Yesterday, Hope's little belly was about to bust from eating so much, the girl is not missing a meal! And she always seems to be off on an adventure to the corner of the whelping box. The boys stick pretty close to Mom.

Remember is not leaving the babies - period - all potty breaks are on pads in the bathroom in the whelping room suite. She is being a fantastic Mom. Enjoy the pictures!

Remember's group was taken in on the Anniversary of 9-11, and the group was named 911 Remembered. In keeping with that theme, the pups are named for the SARS (Search and Rescue) dogs that were so very important during the search and rescue phase after the attack.

Please welcome Remie's SARS BRIGADE !

Kinsey Hope ( 5 oz) born at 2:30 am

We have puppies! Two boys and a girl are all doing fine!

Written by Remember's foster mom

Two boys and one girl, Remie and all are doing fine, I'm off to work. I sure hope I can leave early and come home and crash. We finished up around 2:30 AM, according to Bill. Dr. Lynn only saw three so she it looks like she was right.

Remember (Remie)has given birth to her last litter in freedom and she will know comfort as she gets to raise these little ones until they are ready to be on their own. Thanks to everyone who played a part in bringing them to freedom!

We will keep you updated.

A CP Volunteer (Kim) flew Remember in cabin to her foster home where she will be having 5 puppies in a week or two. We thought you'd enjoy a few pictures of her arrival at the airport, meeting foster Dad and picking out a spot in her new place.

Remember has some pups on board!

Contributed by a CP Volunteer

Remember or Remy as I have been calling her (think 'The Big Easy') has been visiting here in Arlington, Texas until today when we will be flying to Mississippi to take her to her foster mom.

She is a very sweet and scared little girl who had a big secret in her belly. It's no secret anymore and she will be having 5 puppies in a matter of weeks! Here is a little video of this sweet scared girl.

You'll be seeing a lot more of Remember and her puppies over the coming weeks. Thanks for getting to know her a little better and if you would like to make a donation on her behalf, you can click here.

9/11 REMEMBERED... MAY WE NEVER FORGET

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

From the 9/11 Memorial Website:

We shall never forget
We shall keep this day,
We shall keep the events and the tears
In our minds, our memory and our hearts
and take them with us as we carry on.

On the anniversary of one of the darkest days in America's history, Col. Potter celebrated the freedom of 11 little Cairns. Just the very number of Cairns reaching the loving arms of Col. Potter on this most somber of dates is symbolic of America's never ending spirit, determination and devotion to freedom. These little Cairns personify those qualities to survive their past and will now know sweet freedom.

But, as we all know freedom doesn't come without a price. Nine years ago, more than 2000 people paid the ultimate price for our freedom -- their lives. Luckily for these little Cairns, they didn't have to pay for freedom with their lives, but it will take cold, hard cash and quite a bit of it to pay for their vetting and transport costs.

I don't think there is any one among us that wasn't touched in some way by the events of 9/11 and if you're like me, mostly felt helpless at the time to do anything to help. In memory of all that gave their lives, in defiance of the terrorists who thought they could bring America to our knees and for the love of these wonderful little furkids, please consider helping Col. Potter with a financial donation. Just giving up that morning coffee from the expensive franchise and getting it from a lower cost place for a week and donating the difference, or taking a brown bag lunch for a week and donating the savings to Col. Potter will help pay the expenses for these furkids.

Instead of going out for dinner next Saturday, why not have a nice, relaxing dinner at home, and donate the difference? There are a hundred different ways to cut your everyday expenses, give the difference to Col. Potter for the furkids and not cost you one additional penny in your budget. Put a jar on your desk at work, or the breakroom table with the story of these furkids. Share it with your friends, family, neighbors, business associates. If we all pitch in with just a couple of dollars each, we can cover the cost of getting these Cairns to freedom.

We, as a nation, have grown stronger and more vigilant to the threats of terrorists, always on alert and ready to react to protect our freedom. There are always more Cairns waiting at the Col. Potter gate, hoping for a chance to be protected by the loving arms of Col. Potter and find freedom. Will you help them???
