Col. Potter welcomes Twilight Stars Edward and Bella Swan!

Written by a CP Intakes Team Coordinator

Yes, CP has its very own Twilight!

Edward and Bella Swan joined our clan early Saturday, being pulled from a shelter where their time was running out due to space issues. These are two stunning cairns- even before grooming! They are having a week's worth of spa treatment before moving onto their foster homes.

Edward

Bella Swan

In a short amount of time- the fear will leave their eyes, and they will know the good life!

Welcome Edward and Bella Swan!

Welcome The Land of the Midnight Sun - Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Led Zeppelin sang "We come from the land of the ice and snow where the midnight sun and the hot springs blow". The Midnight Sun occurs annually as a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle. The sun remains visible for a continuous 24 hours. The further north and closer to the Circle, the longer the Midnight Sun lasts.

Col. Potter’s Land of the Midnight Sun survived ice and snow and other harsh conditions where they came from in Ohio called a puppy mill. Saturday, six little Cairns got to see the Midnight Sun, free from their puppy mill cages, free from a life where they had no value other than to produce puppies and income for their captors, free to experience the phenomenon of freedom on the one day of the year that we experience the longest amount of daylight. The Midnight Sun shone brightly on the auction and allowed our representative to get all six Cairns available.

Meet the Land of the Midnight Sun:

Grimsey (Iceland): female, DOB 1/25/07
Kiruna (Sweden): female, DOB 6/7/03
Nordkapp (Norway): female, DOB 12/1/03
Twilight: female, DOB 3/31/07
Tromso (Norway): female, DOB 9/1/04
Barrow (Alaska): male, DOB 2/27/07

The Land of the Midnight Sun journeyed north to Oz Project where they will spend the next three weeks being vetted, loved and cared for by Kathy C. before moving on to their own foster homes. My thanks to our rescue angel for attending the auction and getting these babies, Bonnie B. for taking the pictures and getting them ready for their journey to Oz Project and all the transport volunteers that drove to help these babies reach Oz Project in northern Michigan. It might not quite be the Land of the Midnight Sun, but for these six, the sun will be shining on them from now on. Please help me welcome the Land of the Midnight Sun!
