Willet's Christmas Tail

Written by a CP adoptive home

I wanted to let you know about my first Santa Delivery job with the big man himself – Santa Claus or as I like to call him Santa Paws.

I have been waiting for the big day and it has finally arrived. I woke up and had to get a bath – which I love! You know I had to look good for the kiddies and to impress Santa Paws.

I had to get my red sweater on (just like Santa Paws) and my bell collar so the kids would know when we arrived.

We went to the North Pole and to my amazement there was a lot of hustle and bustle going on.

I didn’t know so many elves worked there. They were filling up the sleighs, helping Santa get dressed, passing out hot chocolate and candy canes to everyone. They even had special Christmas dog cookies for me. Yummy!

I had to meet Santa Paws. Well this is very difficult because there was so much work that there were multiple Santa Paws. Who knew?

hmmm

is it him?

nice lap!

I sat on every Santa Paws lap and picked the best one to team up with.

I got to meet a bunch of guys that a lot of people tell me they are scary but, I had fun with them and I wasn’t scared at all. They all had cookies in their pockets. Imagine that! My mom and dad told me that they are named policemen and they are there to help Santa Paws, myself and everyone to be safe.



At 2:00 pm we started driving from house to house and I ran up to each door and announced that “Santa Paws will be here in 5 minutes”. The people were so excited they would start screaming and jumping up and down (at first that scared me) but my mom and dad told me it was to be expected. Santa would then show up and the kids would come out and sit on Santa’s lap (just like I did earlier) and they would talk to Santa and get gifts from him. What a nice man.



I had to check on Santa sometimes through my window to make sure he was not eating all the cookies. He tends to do that!



Around 6:00 pm my job finally finished after our 32nd stop and I can tell you I was exhausted!!!!



I gave Santa a big lick to thank him for letting me help and he said:

HO! HO! HO!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!

Freedom Fliers II Have Landed!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Last month a group of furkids flew the puppy mill coop with a safe landing in Col. Potter. We were told there would be more coming once nursing Moms weaned pups. Saturday the second group of Freedom Fliers took flight over the skies of Georgia heading in three different directions to safe landing strips within CP. In total 18 furkids enjoyed the flight to freedom including 5 puppies 3 months and under. Because of the size and ages of this group, some went to our wonderful vet in South Carolina, some are headed to Oz Project and the puppies, well let's just say Deborah C. and her husband are going to be enjoying a lot of puppy breath!

WE NEED FOSTER HOMES!!!!! If you haven't applied to be a CP Foster Home and you are interested in helping a rescue on the road to forever please check out our Foster FAQs!

An intake of this size and scope required a great group of people working together. I would like to thank Monika R., Susan B. and Susan C. for being our "landing crew", Susan C. and Carolynne M. for "layover" B&Bing the puppies and Oz Project bound kids Saturday night, for those helping “piloting" the transport of the Oz bound kids Saturday and Sunday, Stacey W. for setting up the "flight plan" to Oz, our "bird" photographers Monika, Susan C. and Carolynne M., Kathy C. of Oz Project, Deborah C. and our wonderful vet in SC for providing the safe "in-flight services" on their way to a happily ever after and most importantly to CP, which is all of you, for your support and providing them a "safe landing spot" within the loving arms of Col. Potter.

The skies were truly friendly ...WELCOME FREEDOM FLIERS II!!!
