<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hello,
all my Col. Potter Friends! Hello,
Foster Mom! You all remember me as CP BooBoo
Blizzard, that handsome devil of a Foster who came in from the cold last
January, but now I answer to “OhBee” or “OB” for short (…heeheehee!), and now
I’m a Canadian!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway,
when I arrived at my Foster Home, I discovered that I had a lot of adjusting to
do, living in a House and having brothers and sisters, but I put my mind into
it (with a lot of help from Foster Mom!) and by March I was ready to move again
to my Forever home – in Canada!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
have to admit, this new adjustment hasn’t been nearly as difficult, thanks to
all of Foster Mom’s work, but also thanks to my new Family! They are great! My new Canadian lifestyle includes going to
the beach, going kayaking, boating, paddle-boarding, swimming, and, of course,
there is still lots of snow and ice up here!</span></span><br />

Manny is the only dog I've had who LOVES his toys! He shows this love by taking all toys out of
his toy box and strategically placing them all over the house so one is always
within reach. Messy house; happy dog.
We even sleep with a menagerie of favorites that he enjoys stalking,
torturing, and killing as a restful sleep appetizer.</span></span><br />

Well, I was out shopping and saw some Gund toys. One, a little worm critter, looked about Manny
size and it made a cute giggling noise. It
was the same price as doggie toys so home it came. As soon as he heard the giggle noise, Manny
was smitten... and determined to kill it! Best toy EVER!</span></span><br />

He captured it, tossed it in the air like a Hacky Sack, played keep-away and
tug of war! If I captured it, he
wouldn't take his eyes off it until he seized it once more. He kept his
eyes on the prize! When the time was
right, he pounced. Then with a shark-like
attack, he went for the kill! Poor
Wormy! First he lost an eye. Then I found wormy entrails around the house. His giggle was but a memory... "I am Manny! No critter escapes these
mighty jaws!" What a guy!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></span></div>

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

some other strange people carried me out from the plane after it stopped

used to jump up whenever she or Dad put a coffee cup on the table, but I don’t

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zeke
here, down along the beautiful Jersey
Shore! Guess
what? I just passed my Pet Therapy dog
test! Mom said I did a really great job
with all the children who pretended to be a crowd, with noisy movement and all
that. It was all part of the test. </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mom
also said that now she and I will either be going to nursing facilities,
hospitals, or schools - including special needs schools – and maybe some
“Reading to Dogs” programs. I can’t
wait!</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mom
and Dad are very proud of me and very happy that I was rescued by the wonderful
Volunteers at Colonel Potter Cairn Rescue Network!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I want to thank <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">Col.</span> Potter for rescuing <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">Kaper</span> (<span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">fka</span> CP <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">KPax</span>), who just turned eight years old on </span><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">August
18, 2013<span style="color: black;">.
He was saved by CP two and a half years ago after spending the first
five years of his life as a puppy mill breeder dog. He is a special little gentleman who loves
curling up with me and going on walks.</span> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I also want to thank you all for Ginger
(fka CP Spangle), who will soon celebrate her first gotcha day here! She turned three in June and she is a sweet
little girl with all the energy of a puppy. She was a puppy mill breeder dog also, and was
rescued by <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">Col</span> Potter at age two. I am fortunate to be the Forever Mom for both
these kids. They are still wary of
strangers, but are adjusting well.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;">I've attached a photo of Ginger and <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">Kaper</span>. They look posed, but they often sit that way. Here are two more perfect examples of why
everything <span class="yiv1059029747misspelled">Col</span> Potter does is so
important.</span></span></div>

Jury likes to do include eat, go for walks, "investigate" under

belly rubs, munch on sweet potatoes, relax in his kennel, and sleep in his bed.
Those are a few things off the top of my
head.</span><br />

loves going in the car. I think the wide
open spaces are a revelation to him! On
our first evening, when the sun was setting as we returned from our last walk,
I sat in the rocking chair on the front porch and Charlie sat at the edge of
the porch, ears pricked watching some cattle two fields away, as well as the
birds and squirrels running around in the yard. There was a line of mature wild turkeys
walking along a hedgerow, and he followed them with his eyes, but didn't make a
peep. He never tested the leash and was
tranquil and in some "zone". </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It
is with sadness I write to tell you that Miss Ida died lying next to me this
afternoon. For those of you who do not know her, Miss Ida was purchased
at an auction by two wonderful CP volunteers. The day she was to be
spayed the vet tech noticed a bunch of fur in the corner of her cage.
She had pulled out her hair to make a nest and gave birth to one pup... Lil'
Georgie. We were blessed to have
them as our first Fosters, and immediately flunked - TWICE!! Ida was a
wonderful mom, to her pup and to the pup we adopted a year later, Timofey. <br />
<br />
I had concerns adopting an older dog from a breeding establishment, but she
soon won me over with her sweetness. After an initial getting acquainted
period (grass under her feet, enough food, someone to pet her) she
blossomed. She became the official greeter of the dog park, never knowing
a stranger. She loved her two stuffies
and never tried to destroy them. They
were her babies and she would often carry them to bed. She ran after squirrels, keeping up with the
pups most of the time, until lately.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Ida began to have spells, probably small TIAs. She was 13.5 years old.
We had a hard time last week and thought we would lose her then, but she
rallied. Today she was weak but wanted to go with the others to the dog
park. I carried her and sat with her while the others ran around. Then when back, her breathing became labored
and she looked worse. I sat next to her bed and began reading from Jon
Katz's Going Home, Finding Peace When Pets Die. I reached a particularly
lovely passage and began to read aloud: </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">"…When
I let Rose go I tried to see her death as a liberation for her. She did not need to meet me on any bridge, or
join me in the afterlife, although that would be wonderful. She had done enough. She was simply free to go. I imagined her running through golden fields,
herds of sheep stretching to the fenceless horizon…" </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And
just as I read this passage Ida took her last breath. Our vet was in the
office and confirmed her death.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
She was all sweetness. We will always
remember her. Georgie and Timmy
are very low key. They were also present, and continue to smell her bed
and collar. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We
thank all the Col. Potter family for the chance to know and love Ida.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Left to their own devices, dogs are naturally pack animals, and, as

correction, as needed, you will tell your puppy, with every look, every

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">In
a very strange way, my Mom recently got some pictures of where I was rescued
from – Ohhhh… I really don't like to remember that place! I’m not going to show you because it just
makes me too upset, but, in a way, it is good that my Mom and Dad and my
trainer saw them because they can understand my fears a little better when they
look at these awful photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh! Almost forgot! The “strange” thing is that my human sister
is getting married soon and it just so happens that her Matron of Honor –
whatever that is – lives in the very town I was rescued from! Not only that, she lives next door to one of
the Volunteers of the local ASPCA involved with my rescue – me and 99 other
dogs, all stuffed into a crowded, filthy little house! So this volunteer is very happy to find out
how well I am doing, and she sent my Mom the bad photos.</span></div>

I am happier, Mom and Dad and happier, and I believe we are all well on our way

one again!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hula
joined our family in January, 2013. We had recently lost one of our Cairns (CP's Caryn) in
November, 2012, to kidney disease, and our other Cairn (CP's Walther), was very
lonely as an only dog. After much discussion, my husband and I decided to
apply to adopt another CP kid. As both Caryn and Walther had come from
puppy mills, and as a result had some special emotional challenges,
my husband requested that this time around we adopt a dog that was an owner
surrender, even if it came with health issues. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When
looking through the available Cairns,
we were drawn to Hula right away. We
were not deterred by the prospect of adopting a diabetic dog. We have a diabetic cat that requires insulin
twice a day, and both my husband and I are diabetic ourselves, so we were
already very comfortable with giving injections. We were drawn to Hula’s laid back, yet
playful nature and thought she would be a good fit with our family. We
were very pleased when we were approved to adopt her!</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hula
flew from sunny Florida up to frigid Michigan at the height
of Winter. Her Foster Mom and I were concerned she would have trouble
acclimating, but it turns out that she loves the snow and was not at all
affected by the cold! The moment she walked into our house, despite
having just had a long flight and a stressful time at the airport, she went
right over to the dog toy box and selected a toy to play with, brought it over
to us, and asked us to throw it for her! </span></span></div>

that the weather is warmer, Hula enjoys sitting on my husband's lap as he
swings in his hammock chair. She has amassed a large collection of toys,
including Cuz toys (her personal favorite), tennis balls, and various squeaky
toys. I was even able to find some
blinking light up balls that she has an easier time seeing. She sleeps on
our bed at night, and is extremely polite, always staying near the foot of the
bed. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Just
over two years ago, I became a Foster Mom for the first time. A neighbor down the street has been fostering
for another Rescue for years and years, so I thought, “…if he can do it, so can
I!” My love of dogs in general, and
Cairn Terriers specifically, carried me through the decision. As luck would have it, Col. Potter Cairn
Rescue Network was who I chose to work with.
I must admit I was terrified of the unknown. I read everything I could get my hands
on. The Foster Handbook was read cover
to cover, and still I was nervous. After
I passed the home inspection, I was put on the available list.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;">A
call came out for Foster Parents for the Exotic Flower Girls being released
from Puppy Mills in the Midwest. Lotus, Orchid and Plumeria were their
names. I looked at the attached photos
and was drawn to Plumeria right away.
After her spa treatment, Plumeria was on her way up to the North Star
State by our Transport Volunteers. As
the final driver in the Transport Team North, I met a wonderful Volunteer from Southern Minnesota, who had worked an overnight shift before
driving hours to bring Plumeria North.
The generosity of the people in this group first struck me at that
moment and have continued to amaze me ever since.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
To
say Plumeria was shy is like saying a lightning strike is loud. Being all black, she was almost invisible in
her crate. While she pressed herself
flat to the bottom of the crate, her eyes seemed to say “you can’t see
me.” My heart broke at the tiny amount
of spirit she seemed to have after her 8 ½ year ordeal. It was difficult to get her out of her crate,
so I started to feed her inside her crate.
She wouldn’t eat while I was in the room. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
After
a few days, I tried to tempt her to accept a piece of freeze dried liver. I found her weak spot: Food. It was so precious, she would casually wave
her nose by the liver and her tongue would accidentally touch the treat. She would raise her nose in the air as if to
say, “Oh, I couldn’t possibly, I’m on a diet.”
Then, after a moment of seeing her wheels turn, “oh well, maybe just
this once...”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When
filing an update report online for Plumeria, I realized that I could not let
her go. She had become a part of my
pack and I would not be able to let her go.
The Col. Potter Board approved my adoption on July 4, 2011 - how
appropriate - Independence Day! Plumeria
became Emma Loo, but she still had a lot of blossoming to do…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There
were many hurdles she overcame. Sounds
that are considered normal house sounds, like dishwasher, doors, even changes
in light and shadow, startled her into the flat the ground posture, closely
followed by the retreat to the crate. There
are fewer sounds that startle her now, though she is still easy to
startle. She had to learn that she
couldn’t walk <i>through</i> the glass door,
and how to climb stairs. That was a
challenge. She’s still unable to go down
a long wooden staircase, only up. </div>

Most
changes came over the last 12 months.
She started to approach the fence when our friends (dog & people out
for a walk) would stop and chat. About 6
months ago, she started dodge-playing with a dog through the fence! She was bouncing and wagging her tail with
pure joy! I didn’t want to make a sound

streamed down my face! </div>

In
the last 2 weeks we have started going back to the dog park. It used to be that she would stay in my
shadow, then, about a year ago, she was confident enough to make her own
trail. Last week, she met a Standard
Poodle who took an instant like to her.
His size didn’t matter to her.
She loved the attention! He
followed her around the whole fenced area.
If he started to lag behind, she looked over her shoulder and waited for
him to catch up. If he got too close,
she’d bolt – wagging her tail and bouncing like a puppy!</div>

Promise Here! Well, Maddie now! My New Mom decided that the name my Foster
Mom had called me sounded good, so she kept it and officially changed my name.</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">I
promised I would write and let you all know how things were going and here I am
– doing great!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Of
course, I have to say that I was not wild about being put in that carrier to
fly down here, but I managed. Patty (my
new big sister!) was really nice to me and let me check out the doggie area at
the airport, and mingle with some fellow travelers – including a rescued Cairn
puppy! That was neat!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The
airplane people were very nice and let us get in our seats early, and then
Patty let me stretch out a little so I could relax and fall asleep – the best
way to fly! Then, we got off the plane
and got in a car and drove to meet my New Mom!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">She
is Very nice, and I made her smile! She
let me wander around and check everything out, then she gave me my dinner and
let me go back to sleep! What a day! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The
next morning, we all went to a new vet and I got a thorough exam. The vet said my heart is strong and there are
no signs of arthritis! She checked out
my teeth (except the missing ones, of course!) and took a look at my cute
crooked ear (it had an old injury and is folded down, so it points sideways… a
little extra personality!). The vet and
Mom set up my heartworm and flea prevention, set me up for some bathing and
grooming, and a follow-up to check on my progress. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Then
we went shopping for new food and, more important, my favorite soft Milk Bones! Yum!!!
Mom says I still need to loose a little weight so she has tried to get
me to eat carrots and green beans as snacks, but I let her know I wasn't a fan…
Soft Milk Bones win! Oh!
Mom also got another tag for me with my New name and address and phone
number! I feel so special!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The
only problem I have had so far was those stairs up and down to the second
floor. I was not really sure what to do
at first and took a few missteps. Mom worked
with me (using those favorite Milk Bones as incentive!) and I am making
progress – not too fast, though!
Hehehehe! I love those great Milk
Bones!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">So,
I am eating well, walking four times a day (some short, some longer), and
following my New Mom everywhere! She
bought me a couple of sets of “doggie stairs” and put a set by the sofa in the
living room and another by the chair in the office. She also bought a nice “doggie bed”, but
after she put the steps in place, I decided I prefer the couch! I fluff the blanket on the couch, and I also
fluff the comforter in Mom's bedroom. I
like to mound it up like a pillow, just high enough to put my head on and keep
it "up." I am sleeping very well!
</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I
have met a bunch of my New Mom's friends and one of the neighborhood dogs,
"Lady", a cocker spaniel. Our
first meeting went well and we played nice, and now we have a "play
date" planned! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think this New Mom is a perfect match for me! Thank you Col. Potter and everyone else who
helped me find this great Forever Home!
My Mom is so Happy - and I am too!!!</span></span></div>

Anyway, this makes me the Baby still, even though I am getting older. Mom says I’m a Big Boy now, but I am not sure
I agree… Being the Baby has its

thing: My Mom says I need to be more

Two! I know how to count - like any good

figuring is that Mom is so <i>done</i> with

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Anyway,
I love my Mom and Dad, and I love my brother and sister too - even though I get
mad at Wicket sometimes. He says things
under his breath to me that make me mad, but since my Mom and Dad can’t hear
his little jabs, they just think I am being a little jerk when I get him in my
sight and pounce! Got into a little
trouble for that one, but it did not stop me from doing it again! I’m a Terrier, what can I say?!!!</span></div>

that didn’t turn out so well. Mom and
Dad were not happy. They loaded us into the car and I thought we might be going
off to celebrate my Birthday, but we ended up at the Vet’s! Of course, there was nothing for the vet to
really look at because Wicket and I were our usual sweet selves today! The vet took some blood from us and checked
us over pretty good, just so Mom and Dad would feel better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">But
this is the important part: The vet told
Mom and Dad that I was Sooooo much improved since she first met me a year
ago! And she was right! Last year, I was very stiff, and they stuck
that old muzzle on me because they didn’t know what I might do when they were
scaring me with so many horrible things – and I didn’t understand what <i>they</i> were going to do! Today, I stood still and let them examine me
with no trouble! And then, I was whining because Wicket was on the table, so
Mom did the hand signal for “Sit” and then “Down”, and I did it! The vet was Very impressed! :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">CP Divinity was the second oldest
of the group, being nine years old, at the time. Having been bred many, many times, living in
a wire cage for all those years, Divinity was also timid and had very tender
paws that hurt when she walked. Still,
her loving Foster Mom helped this little lady tiptoe into Freedom (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfWlGmiNwoc&feature=player_embedded" target="_blank">see her video from January, 2009</a>), and then her Dad came along, four years ago today,
and brought her Home, where they could embrace her Freedom together!</span></span></div>

her very closely and observed that she seemed to be having a problem urinating,
so they whisked her off to be examined on an emergency basis by their trusted
vet, and the results were sobering.
There was a huge stone (size of a quarter) in Lina’s small bladder that
was preventing urination, and her calcium level was perilously low. The puppies had turned and were lined up to
drop into the birth canal, but the lack of calcium indicated that the
contractions would not be strong enough to push the puppies out, and there was
the issue of the canal being blocked by the bladder stone.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is almost certain that Lena and all of her puppies would have perished cruelly
had she been left to deliver in the puppy mill.
As it was, the puppies were taken from her about a week too soon so they
were all about half the weight they should have been at birth, and the smallest
survived for only two days, in spite of everyone’s best effort to save them
all. Thanks to the dedication of her
CP Foster parents, and the love and support of so many Volunteers, Lena recovered from her ordeal
and was soon ready to start over.</span></span></div>

Mother’s Day weekend, 2006, after spending eight long years in a puppy mill,

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Puppy mill survivors have many
scars, seen and unseen. At eight years
of age, Miri Lace may well have had as many as fourteen or fifteen litters, and
anyone who has been pregnant even once can appreciate the terrible physical
stress these puppy mill mommas are forced to endure, even if they are kept in
clean cages. Sadly, within five short
years of her rescue, Cushings disease ultimately crept in to take this precious
little girl from those who loved her. <span style="color: black;">Miri lost her battle on November 22, 2010, but only after
she filled the rest of her short life up with everything she could gather.</span></span></span></div>

“What
a character!” Can you believe that is
what my Mom keeps saying?!! What does
that even mean? Anyway, every day brings
new adventures! Today I found a black
snake climbing up the tree in the yard! Wow!!! I was fixated! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I
have Mom and Dad pretty well trained already.
When I am stalking prey, or <i>potential</i>
prey (as far as <i>they</i> know, I haven't actually
caught anything yet! Let’s keep that way
for now, O.K.?), I am <i>totally</i> fixated
on the task at hand. I will NOT be lured
away, and trying to get my attention at that point is a lost cause! Of course, when I lose interest, I am one adorable
and obedient little boy, and I expect them to pay attention to nothing but Me! They are pretty quick students, I’d say! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Oh,
I have transitioned from sleeping in my kennel to sleeping in a dog bed at the
foot of Mom & Dad’s bed. Very
nice! The first thing I did, however,
was go back to my kennel and pull out my Col. Potter fleece blanket that I
brought here with me. I put it in my new
bed, and I sleep with my head on it. Thank
you Col. Potter for all the sweet dreams!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I
am a much later sleeper than my predecessor, according to Mom and Dad, and I love
to go to my pad in the sunny breakfast room to continue my slumber after Dad
and I go for a walk, get breakfast, and retrieve the newspaper. When Mom gets up, a bit later, I always get a
nice chew, sometimes a brushing, and, once the grass dries a little, I go
outside for my first patrol. </div>

you may recall, I spent the first eight years of my life in a cage, pretty
much, with so many other, nameless dogs, and then I got sprung from there by
Col. Potter and ended up with a name - CP Blaiser – and a new thing called
“Freedom” and a bunch of dogs running around, chasing squirrels, playing with
toys, getting belly rubs and skritches – so many options, it was enough to
drive me in circles!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My
Foster Mom, Kim, is probably missing me, having basked in the glow of my
charming, sparkling eyes for three years, but I know she is happy for me,
having my very own home now! She always
called me “Duderbug the Cuddle King!" and my New Mom liked that, I guess,
because she decided to call me “Dude”. I
already love to cuddle with her, and now I just wait patiently, laying upright looking
at <i>her</i> with my gorgeous eyes,
crossing my front legs, just so, until she can not help herself, and picks me
up to cuddle!</span></div>
