Smyrna and Hazel - CPCRN Foster Girls

If you scroll down, you can see the posts we ran yesterday to introduce you to these two lively older cairn girls, a mother and daughter who are being fostered in Vermont. Maybe you have room in your home and your heart for both of these girls.

Today, we'd like to share this photo album of these two so you can get to know them a little better. Please click here to see them (in Vermont) and all of the other cairns that Col. Potter presently has available for adoption.

CP Foster Smyrna - Good Girl!! Fetch

Smyrna

o.k. I still haven't sent an introduction on these two girls yet but I had to share a funny store. Smyrna is the "Mom" to Hazel, The Chipmunk Killer. Smyrna is 11+ and VERY overweight. However that doesn't stop her from being a Ball Fiend and great Fetcher.

So last night after supper (Editorial question here - do ALL dogs like to play after supper? It was always Myra's favorite time - used to drive my Mom crazy with her growling all through the 6:00 news, LOL) and Smyrna had a cuz that had it's feet chewed off (thanks to Hazel of course) which she was chasing.

So I toss it again and it takes her a few minutes and back she comes with MY SLIPPER? o.k. now that's very cute - Austin fetched my slipper the other day and then peed on it (Gotta love The Pee Man) so I didn't think anything about it but OF COURSE (punch line and you saw it coming right?), her cuz was IN MY SLIPPER. Smart Girl! Can't get the ball out so you bring the whole thing. Of course it blew my idea that she would fetch my slippers for me all the time. Oh well..........

Smyrna and Hazel are being fostered in Vermont. If you would like to know more about them or the other available cairns that Col. Potter has for adoption, please click here.

CP Foster Hazel - 1 ; Chipmunks - 0

Yup she hasn't even been here 2 weeks (tomorrow will be) and already one chipmunk bit the dust. Since her first day here, she has scouted out all the hiding places and put the chipmunk(s) on full alert. They had gotten lazy since Myra passed in early March. Darn!! I know she can't help it but chipmunks are so CUTE it always kills me...

This girl has probably theone of the most intense prey drives I have ever seen. Maybe even more than Myra which is really saying something. You don't want to be in her vicinity unless you have ear plugs when she spies a squirrel or cat in the yard either. She's already missed her supper twice this week because she wouldn't leave her hunting post in the backyard.

Cairns, got to love 'em (I think)

So, if you have a yard that needs the critters kept at bay, consider Hazel who is being fostered in Vermont. You can check on her and the other cairns that Col. Potter has available for adption by clicking here.

Smyrna

Hazel

An email came into Col. Potter referencing two senior girls who needed a home. Their elderly owner had fallen upon hard times and was forced to move in with her daughter. There were resident dogs in the house, and two more were too much for the daughter to handle. This elderly lady had been Hazel and Smyrna’s owner their whole life. This poor woman was told “give them up or lose your place to stay”.

I’d like everyone to give Hazel and Smyrna a warm CP welcome.
