It is important to understand the role of vaccinations in keeping our Cairns protected, but it's also important to understand when to avoid unnecessary vaccinations for the safety and well-being of our furry loved ones.
In this informative video Dr. Karen Becker interviews Dr. Ronald Schultz about rabies, pet vaccines, and vaccine protocols. This interview runs nearly an hour, but it is well worth watching to the end, so brew a pot of coffee and relax while you watch this important discussion.

Patty Duke and Anne Bancroft in The Miracle Worker
The
other day, I happened to catch a showing of The Miracle Worker, the
wonderful 1962 film starring Anne Bancroft and Patty Duke.The movie portrays the narrow span of time in
which Anne Sullivan, a novice teacher newly fetched from Boston’s Perkins
School for the Blind, tackles the formidable task of convincing the wildly out
of control seven year old Helen Keller to “tolerate” her and learn how to
function in a soundless, sightless world.
Two weeks.After an
initial battle over proper table manners, Helen’s angry father gave Anne two
weeks to prove she could make a difference.Removing Helen from the sphere of her overcompensating, guilt-ridden
family, Anne first teaches Helen to rely on her and trust her for all her
needs, and this opens the door to greater learning. When Helen’s parents insist she be returned
to the main house after two weeks, in spite of the obvious progress, Helen
immediately tests her new bounds, reverting to poor table manners.When Anne intercedes to prevent this
regression, Helen’s father objects that the teacher is treating her like a
sighted child – and Anne emphatically agreed.In order for Helen to learn and ultimately succeed, she must think like
a sighted child, and her own expectations had to be high, not self indulgent.
It struck me then how well this story
correlates to so many of our Rescued Cairns, and I immediately thought of CP Foster Dad Ron K. and the wonderful
video of his Foster Jacket, romping playfully in the snow.Jacket had come to him as a terrified five-year-old
breeder dog, afraid of all people, treats, and the television.Ron taught her to trust him, with abundant
love, patience, and leadership, communicating exactly what he wanted her to do,
giving her the strength to embrace life with confidence and joy.It took more than two weeks, but Ron prepared
Jacket well to move on to her Forever Home, where she continued to blossom into
a happy, healthy Cairn girl who wiggles with joy when her humans come home.
In
memory of Foster Dad Ron K., and in tribute to the many Cairns who have benefited from his strongyet tender leadership, please enjoy Jacket,
romping in the snow…
Thanksgiving is fast upon us, then Black Friday, then Cyber
Monday, and what better to get us in the mood for this Winter Holiday Season
than a charming array of Former Fosters and Friends, demonstrating the joys of being
a Cairn in the fresh fallen snow?

Col. Potter Needs a Few More Starter Homes!
Please
Volunteer to Foster and help us help give a new start to every Cairn in need!
Spring is here – believe it or
not! – and families are starting to think about Summer travel, so what better
time to reflect on the travel involved in saving Cairns in need?
Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network
(CPCRN) Transport Volunteers travel a combined average of 15,000+ miles each
month…
…averaging 187,064 miles every
year…
…totaling 2, 244,768 miles - and
counting!
A
single transport can take 10 or more drivers and cover more than 800
miles!
Without
the quick response of the Transport team, many times Fosters have to be boarded
- costing Col. Potter hundreds of dollars that could otherwise be spent saving
another life!

Sorry this is so dark, but foster Rye had the best time with the darn bug. We have August-like conditions here in Maryland and the cicadas are already coming out. I didn't know she had brought the present inside!
Rye is being fostered in Maryland. If you would like to learn more about her, please go to our website and check her out!
Through the efforts of a diverse group of Col. Potter volunteers we now have an original song and video!
One very talented & dedicated volunteer, who just so happened to have a recording studio and many experienced vocalists, took on the challenge of creating an original song. Never mind that the "recording studio" was an elementary school classroom, and the vocalists were 3rd to 5th graders . Just like rescue Cairns, they had the "tude" to write music and lyrics for a very original Col. Potter song - guided by their music teacher and CP volunteer Mary N.
In the process of writing the song, Mary and her students talked a lot about rescue, and the responsibility of having a pet. The charming lyrics followed those discussions. As is the subject, their music is serious and the words heartfelt. Enjoy!
Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network, the nationwide rescue formed in 2001, has rescued more than 4,500 cairns and cairn mixes across the United States. For more about CPCRN, see our website atcairnrescue.com.
