Col. Potter Is Singing A Child's Lullaby

All babies, human and animal, should be able to have soft lullabies sung to them and sweet dreams. Puppy mills turn those lullabies into frightening voices and dreams into terrorizing nightmares. Once they reach the loving arms of Col. Potter, we try to give them back the lullabies and dreams, but some still have to endure the fright and terror that travels with them.

Eugene Field, a Denver Journalist, in 1889 wrote a Dutch Lullaby:

Wynken, Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe --
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three...

Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee one's trundle-bed.
So shut your eyes while mother sings
Of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock in the misty sea ...

Please meet CP's Wynken, Blynken and Nod:

Wynken - female, estimated to be 3-4 years old, she's shy but will lick fingers

Blynken - female, estimated to be 2 years old, she makes good eye contact but it's apparent she has had very little human contact and is very unsure of people

Nod - male, estimated to be 3-4 years old, he's the sweetest little thing, great social skills and acts like he was somebody's baby at some time in his life

These furkids won their freedom from an Arkansas puppy mill and their soft lullaby and sweet dreams should have now been in reach. However, the PM had one last dose of fright and terror for two of them -- one of the females and Nod, are heartworm positive.

Col. Potter will be there for these furkids and they will get treatment to make them healthy so they can have their chance at hearing that child's lullaby. Is there anyone out there that would like to start singing that lullaby to them? Is there anyone out there that would open their hearts and their home to these heartworm positive kids and foster one of them? We have a great medical support team and mentors that will be with you every chorus of the lullaby to form an entire choir. Please check out our Foster Facts if you would like to help these furkids make sweet music in the future.

Many thanks to Molli C. for helping get the "Lullabies" to Col. Potter. Please help these babies' wishes and dreams come true as they sail in their wooden shoe...
