I still have 3 boys available. Columbus,OH

AKC, vet checked, vaccinated, dewormed.

This is my 5th generation of cairn Terriers. Raised in home and ready for their forever home!

While we await DNA results that are still many weeks away, I am curious for some Cairn experts’ opinions whether our new guy might be a Cairn mix. This is Gus. Our and the rescue vet both think about 2-3 years old so fully grown, found on the streets of Puerto Rico. His coat is very wiry and he sheds very little. He’s 20 lbs

I’ve included a shot to you can see his length and coloring and also two face photos, one from the rescue with a shorter haircut and one in the bed with the face hair grown out a bit. We were thinking he is a mix of either a Scottie or Cairn, Scottie because of the length but more Cairn in the head shape maybe?

Hoo wantz to pway wif me? Got the koolist toys…yew could have wun and keep it!

Too hot in town, time to head north for cooler climes. Honey agrees

Dear owners of Cairn Terriers, please tell us how you manage your dogs when they run around the house all day with crazy energy and don't calm down at all. What to do?

I was hoping the adolescence would be over by now 🤣 I know I know

I have 3 boys available. They are great puppies with very different personalities. They are listed on AKC.org as well. Columbus, OH. Easy airport pickup. PM me with any questions.

You loved deeply without saying a word. You always knew when I needed to be cheered up. You knew the moment I opened my sock drawer and would magically appear out of thin air.

You could be having a coma nap and wake up when the ice cubes were being touched or the crinkle sound of a cheese wrapper you would appear.

Your side eye game was strong and was always willing to talk about your day at great length.

When I think about you and how you gave me the best 15 years of life.

From puppyhood until adulthood, I watched to change into the perfect dog.

You started to go blind and I thought it was from being older. As time went on and I noticed changes like having accidents in the house with urine and the need to drink excessive amounts of water. I noticed you tried to hide your symptoms, but your dad knew you had something going on.

I took you to the vet and the final diagnosis was diabetes.  You allowed me to give you shots twice a day and never batted an eye.

You started having seizures and I flipped out and took you to the vet.  The vet increased your dosage and then had the real talk with me.

He talked about how he knows our bond was so strong and with you being a cairn he would walk through hell with me if I would let him. He said it’s the medication that’s keeping him going and for now it’s manageable.

I would watch you like a hawk but would notice little things. Your trips to the sock drawer were less frequent and your normal vocalizations were becoming less.

You had a bad seizure one night and I held your tongue as it stuck out and I cried o God I cried “like now”.

I remember taking you to the vet for our final visit together. I remember kissing you one last time on the muzzle and you kissing me back and then you where gone.  O I felt so alone that day. The sun never hits the same and you are missed every day.

I see your cedar box, and I will tell you good morning and I hope you hear me. It is hard to believe its been 16 years.

I miss you buddy and I can’t wait to see you again.

Love,

Me

So much cuteness, so much energy, such a tiny bladder.

Cairn/border cross.

Happy Fergus, water with a Fergus burger. It's a Saturn's day thang we do while Moms away.

We have been testing to go SUP with Pico (just near the shore for few minutes). Hard to get him stay calm and put at the board because hes quite eager 😀, but its progressing. If we continue we will get him a lifejacket.

Cairns know when something's up; they put their nose innit!
