Be sure to check the CP Cairn Rescue website to see where they are now and how they are doing.















Shondra, Kathy, Nealie and Kipper

We had a great time hosting a Col. Potter booth at this huge dog event on Saturday at the convention center. I would guess attendance was 400-500. It was great to have help from several other Col. Potter friends. Kathy T and her friend Shondra drove about 100 miles to get here. Kathy is a Matchmaker and adopted two of Karin M’s fosters (Teacher and Fillipa), now Nealie and Kipper; Elaine C adopted my foster Pizzelle (now Zellie); and Marge & Ky who adopted Ruth Houser’s Skelly. Marge and Ky brought along a friend’s cairn (who they were dog sitting - Jimmy). All 3 dogs were great ambassadors for the cairn breed and drew a lot of attention to our booth.
There were 150-175 booths, including several other rescue groups. Most of the other rescues were very large dogs – Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Bull Mastiffs, Great Pyrennes, Greyhounds, Siberian Huskies, American Bulldogs. Almost every premium dog food company had booths here today and most were giving out free samples.
We had a lot of visitors stop by and took away informational brochures and Col. Potter business cards. There was also a Sarasota Veterinarian who is going to post our organization's information on his website.

Singapore Sling

Fosters Mojito and Singapore Sling are here and I think "Girls Gone Wild" about sums it up. They are sisters and two years old. They are both attention starved and sweet, but VERY effervescent. They have a lot of pent up energy.
Mojito is the dominant of the two girls and poor Singapore, gives in to her demands.
Chloe and Zeus are staying away from their ex-pen for now as the energy level is a little too high for them . A little Homeopet Anxiety Relief and the house is quiet again. More to come as they settle in.

These are two of the puppies from the Cheers to Colonel Potter group.These two puppies ARE from the same litter!! Amazing size difference isn't it! They are so different in personalities as well!! The boys have been here just a couple of days and are a HANDFUL!! Forgot how much laundry needs to be done when you have babies around. And the newspaper dirty pile keeps a growing.
Scorpion's just a little tike, not even two pounds!! He is active in that he is not lethargic, but not active like a 'normal' puppy his age. He really has no interest in toys, but will play some with his brother who easily kicks his little butt everytime. He is pretty vocal when he is wrestling with him. He is eating and gaining weight well but is very mellow, which as we all know, is not typical Cairn behavior!! He would really like to cuddle all the time. I have put him in his crate at times and YIKES! Hear him scream! He does have some attitude apparently so we are working on that little by little.
Big Boy Banshee on the other hand.... WOW, what a kid. His name fits him like a glove!! He is all energy and constantly moving. Especially that little tail of hi! s, always wagging. He is such a happy boy. And he does everything with GUSTO!! Talk about ATTITUDE!! This boy is going to be keeping someone else busy SOON - hopefully, for our sakes!!!! This kid is wearing me out!! He can be a little vocal in his crate as well.
What was really special is that their Blankie Auntie, Pam , helped to transport these babies to us and had their blankies all ready for them and was able to give the blankets to them herself! Just not in their crates so they didn't poop on them!!! Thank you Auntie Pam!!
They both love attention and give lots of kisses. Aren't they adorable!!!
Hope you all enjoy the pictures! As you can see Banshee Boy was hard to catch most of the time! The outdoor and indoor blanket pictures are from Thursday, all of the other pictures are from the night they arrived.
Please watch their video to "see them in action!"
