When Brodie came to live here he came from his foster dad in PA with a blanket made by someone in the Col. Potter network. Brodie was understandably unsure of life, again, when he came here to new surroundings, a new human, and two new dogs. But he had the security of HIS blanket. The first evening here he dragged together a piece of fleece from one of the dog crates and his blanket and a few toys and made a 'nest' right in front of me. It was very endearing. I think whoever makes the blankets for the dog-kids are wonderful! I'm attaching a picture of him in his 'nest.'
-- Susan, Conor, Emmy, and Brodie -- Watertown, NYYes, Brodie, ever Col. Potter Kid gets his or her own blankie, lovingly made by a "Blankie Auntie". The Aunties donate their time and materials, then send the blankie to the foster home, usually within a few weeks of the little cairn's arrival. The blankie then becomes the cairn's very own and follows them to their adoptive home.
There is a video tribute to the Blankie Aunties on Media Central, via http://www.cairnrescue.com/, as well as instructions how to make the blankie.
Brodie, we're so glad that you love your blankie as much as you love your furever home!
