Norry's Foster Mom recently received this email from Norry's forever parents:
Bonnie and Alan,
Today marks 2 years since you pulled Norry out of the basement that hadbecome his private hell. Steve and I are convinced that if you twohadn't been his angels, he soon would have been dead.We adore this little man and can never thank you enough for saving him!Heartfelt gratitude as we celebrate another year with our precious boy, Cheryl and Steve
Bonnie tells Norry's story:
In early April of 2006 we were alerted that there was an 11 y/o Cairn needing to be surrendered in a city not too far from us. We were driving somewhat past that area as we delivered a foster to his adoptive Mom. So we made our plans and arrangements and stopped at this place on the way home. The Cairn had been kept in the basement for about 6 months. His owner had had a stroke and he made her fall was the reason he was kept in the basement. So he was crated 24/7 with a neighbor coming around once or twice a day to feed him and let him potty. You can imagine what he looked and smelled like but he was friendly and happy to see us. All his doggie things were turned over to us. She showed us the nice plastic bin for his food. When opened it turned out to be totally empty. We drove home with the windows open as the little guy smelled terrible from urine and feces embedded in his coat. We dropped him off at a groomer to be shaved down and bathed before we ever went home.
For an older guy he sure wasn't in foster care long as his new mama-to-be spotted him and applied to adopt him asap. He's been spoiled properly ever since which thrills me to pieces. His Mom not only loves and spoils Norry but she also fostered and adopted a couple more CP Cairns so he has plenty of Cairn company at home and he's never alone now. She is also volunteering as part of my Tags Team. We can't thank her enough for loving my sweet boy!
