Kody Makes Christmas Bright!!!

Written by Kody fka CP IC

Kody fka CP IC, loving Life in Forever!

Kody here!  I am having a Super Christmas – my very first one!  All because I was part of the Col. Potter Super Transporter Group (CP IC to be exact) and my Mom and Dad were Super ready to have a new bundle of joy – and that was me!

I have heard Mom tell Dad that they got “the best Christmas gift early this year” when I came into their lives on Nov. 8, 2013.  She says that, after being without a dog for seven months, they were so happy to have me to love - and that I brought laughter back into their home!   I do my best!

I’m all my Mom & Dad need for Christmas!!

Thank you Col. Potter Volunteers for all you do, and, from me and my Happy Mom & Dad, we wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Written by his Mom

Bogey fka CP Brigand

Today is the fifth anniversary of the day Mr. Bogey (CP's Brigand fostered by Carol L.) came flying into my life.  His fur-sibs and I are celebrating wildly, since his arrival brought not just a sweet furry fella, but also a relationship with Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network.  Talk about a two-fer!!!

My handsome fella will be 14 next week.  Lots to be thankful for!

THANK YOU ALL for everything you do!

Written by Gertie fka CP Trudy Lou

Gertie fka CP Trudy Lou, nice and comfy in Forever!

Hello!  My name is Gertie, though you might remember me as CP Trudy Lou.  This is a very Special Christmas because I have now been in my Forever home for 2 years  - and it's Great!  My Mum thinks I’m Special!  She say's I’m her “Angel” who came into her life when we needed each other.  I think she’s pretty angelic too!

I just Love to help my Mum!

Well, we have a lot of White Stuff on the ground here in Idaho at the moment.  I like to rub my nose in it when we go for walks!   I especially love it because I get to wear my beautiful red coat, and everyone says how cute I am!

Mum and I want to wish everyone at Col Potter a Merry Christmas!

Luigi Leaves the Pasta Behind at Col. Potter!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Luigi, a friendly 4 year old Black Brindle Male

How about a big hearty Col. Potter welcome to Luigi, a big block-buster of a Brindle boy who is now settling in to the Col. Potter Family. At just four years old and weighing in at 25 pounds, Luigi is one serious bundle of dude to settle - but he’s friendly and very affectionate!

Back at his former home, poor Luigi found that three was definitely a crowd – at least when it comes to how many dogs a young family can handle. Things were going good for Luigi for a while until a couple of years ago when a new little human came on the scene. Well, skip forward two years and the two-year-old human truly has a bad case of the terrible-two’s, and he and Luigi could not see eye-to-eye.  Well, maybe they could – but neither of them liked what they saw!

The family’s other two dogs were doing okay, but Luigi, being the newest dog, was now odd dog out.  So, here comes the call to Col. Potter…  Come get our dog!

Luigi is looking for big changes at Col. Potter!

Sure enough, CP did go and get Luigi and brought him home to the clan.  While it’s impossible to thank everyone in this generous CP family - there are so many of you doing so much - we want to send out special thanks to Ann and Wayne S. and to Sharon J. for literally going the extra miles to get this boy - and on very short notice.   Many thanks to Julie M. for keeping open a room at the inn and B&B’ing Luigi until he gets to his Foster home, and many thanks to Meghan B., who will make sure that Luigi goes easy on the pasta for a while!

Welcome Luigi and Thanks to All!

CP Lottie, CP Husker, CP Nickie, and Charlie Brown (who came from a Shelter in Kansas) all heard me say “Santa is coming with a COOKIE for you!” and you can see they all believe – except Lottie, who could care less!

The boys are all 5 years old and Lottie (mill mama) is 10, and they all wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Reiki Finds his Life Force with Col. Potter!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator
 

Reiki, a happy 3-5 year old Wheaten Male

Please welcome Reiki (pronounced “Ray-key”), a very friendly and happy little 3-5 year old Cairn.  He came to Col. Potter from a shelter and is heading straight to his Foster home.

He is very thin at 13 lbs. and we’re expecting that good food (and lots of it) will get his weight up to normal.

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.  If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

We are guessing it won’t take long for our little Reiki to have High life force energy flowing through him, because of the love and care he’ll receive in his foster home.

Welcome little boy!

Col. Potter Needs a Few More Therapy Tables for Reiki’s cousins! 

Please Volunteer to Foster and help us offer a stress-free recovery for every Cairn in need!
