Welcome Carlin! - Written by a CP Intake Volunteer

This weekend I was notified of a cairn that urgently needed Col. Potter's help. After many emails, late night & early morning phone calls, the cairn was brought to the CP fold the next afternoon. Monday, I got the call that our newest boy, Carlin, was going to his B&B (Bed and Biscuit) after his vet stay.

Carlin is named in honor of George Carlin, one of the most famous and memorable comedians of our time. George Carlin's life came to a sudden end recently leaving many of us saddened and in disbelief. Our little CP Carlin had a similar experience. Carlin was an only dog and 'child' of a married couple who loved him dearly. Their life revolved around him, he was their baby for over seven years. Then a tragic auto accident claimed the lives of Carlin's parents. First reports were that Carlin had perished with them. Later relatives received word that it was not Carlin but a stuffed toy found in the wreckage. They found Carlin alone at home, safe, but now an orphan. Carlin needed our help quickly and got it. On behalf of Carlin, I'd like to personally thank everyone who took my calls and answered my emails offering suggestions and help. Carlin wouldn't be here without it! Just look into his soulful eyes, his thank you is there.

May Carlin soon laugh and smile once more!
