Churchill

Churchill's Story
by Farley

Hi, my name is Farley and I am writing to thank the Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network for my new kid brother, Churchill. You see, Churchill and I have a lot in common. We both "lost our leases" at our previous homes, if you know what I mean. I've been living here with Mom and Dad for a year and a half. When they thought I was spending too much time laying on the couch and watching TV, they contacted these Col. Potter people about the Cairns they saw on their website. Now I have never met the Colonel myself and I understand he has crossed the great bridge, but he sure did leave behind a lot of people who really know what they're doing when it comes to us Cairns. Mom tells me they go to a whole lot of trouble to make sure the orphans find the best home so they can be as happy as me. Well, let me tell you, they couldn't have found a cooler brother for me than Churchill. Even though he is quite a bit younger than me, he lets me chase him, and sits with me in the sunny spots on the floor, and wrestles with me, and lets me play with his toys which I never found amusing before but all of a sudden make my tail wag. And he helps me keep an eye on our older sister who can't see or hear us. I'm still teaching him to go slow when he's around her 'cause she gets startled and yells at him. I try not to let him see me giggle when she puts him in his place. I know he likes it here, too, because he's always snuggling up to Mom and Dad and they have plenty of room to cuddle us all. He seems to like rolling on his back and chewing his nylabone but I guess that's because he's still a youngster and doesn't know any better. Come to think of it, I'm doing a few silly things myself these days. Well, that's about all I have to say for now. I sure do appreciate what all those nice people at CPCRN have done for Churchill. Especially his Auntie Gini who took care of him before he was ready to be my brother. I have to sign off, now. Churchill is up for a little game of tag and if I don't get down there, he'll start without me!
