CP Sweeney, Truly Loved for 8 years and Forever |
Sweeney
was a very special little boy who was rescued by two equally special Col.
Potter Volunteers after seven years in a commercial breeder’s cage, and had his
first taste of love via a McDonald's plain burger (aka, a “Sweeney Burger”) in
the safety of his crate in the back seat of their car.
Sweeney
had a crumpled ear, crusty eyes, a hernia, and “man” issues that needed to be
resolved, but his sweetness was pure, and the loving care of his two Foster
Moms brought out his best, guiding him to a wonderful Forever home where he
thrived in every way! Sadly, Sweeney was
diagnosed with abdominal cancer a few years ago, but he continued to live a
full, loving life to the end when he became an angel last week at the age of 15.
When
you look at his beautiful, sweet face, it is hard to imagine someone stuffing
him in a wire cage for seven long years, hauling him out only when needed to
service a mill momma in heat…

Blessings
to these courageous Volunteers who rescued this darling boy, and the loving
Foster Moms who nurtured him, and most especially to his perfect Forever Home
who gave him unconditional love every moment of every day they shared, giving
Sweeney, on balance, a truly Wonderful Life.
May
we all remember Sweeney’s story and feel the inspiration of his sweet spirit as
we continue to Volunteer to do all we can to make a difference in the lives of
his Cairn cousins.
