Cairn presents

[kgemind]

Hi everyone! I'm enjoying the pictures! I must be a bad mommy because neither of my 2 got any presents. But we visited my niece who has a 2yr Jack Russell - Cooper. The girls kept stealing his rawhide and then he would tear into them - bare teeth and all - he even took some fur off of Annie. They took it in stride. We had a 4-hr drive home and they have been exhausted. I took a picture of them in Cooper's hat that went with his Elf costume. So I will post them soon. Take care.

Hi Guys!

Love the pics....keep 'em coming!

I'm getting tons of laughs out of everyones antics

[abe's dad]

Abe Got a Kong that he has really enjoyed And a visit from Our oldest daughter's Shi Tzu sp? They played well together and this was the result.

I love the picture where they are sleeping!

They looked so "tuckered" out. Great shots.

[Scully'sMom]

How adorable is THAT, the picture of the pups sleeping. Tough life, huh?

[Brigette]

The guy at the pet store told me the "hide a squirrel" was next to indestructible-I just laughed! I love all of your pictures-sorry we didnt get a chance to take any-my husband and I have been working so much overtime the last five days since we got hit with a record snowfall, but I've really enjoyed looking at yours. Hope all of you and your pups had a wonderful Christmas!

Oh puh-leeze! Lemme tell ya - Scully got that on Saturday and last night chewed a hole in one squirrel's stomach and started in on the tree trunk. Wish my camera was working I'd take a picture of it. Surgery to be performed this evening on said items!

[kayharley]

Yep...I have a fresh sewing needle all ready for the "booboo" bees, the birds without beaks and I'm sure when I'm able to get the hide-a-squirrel, there will be parts ready for sewing.

Indestructable....are they insane??

I don't have any pics of Piper opening her gifts. I know, I'm a bad Cairn mommy. I only took pics of my three boys opening their presents and that kept me busy!! But here is our 2004 Christmas pic:

[kayharley]

Oh what a beautiful pic, Mama Kim. Are the two boys on the end twins?

[Mama Kim]

Yes, they're 10 years old. The oldest is 14. Piper is 1 1/2.

Thank you. I'm quite proud of my boys. And Piper!

[Scully'sMom]

Mama Kim, what handsome boys and look at that well-behaved Cairn! That's a terrific picture.

[toomanypaws]

First off, Mama Kim, your boys are so handsome! That's a great picture! I didn't get a good one of all of the cairn girls together opening their new toys, so I'm posting this "posed" picture of them w/ some of their new toys. Abbey already has a hole in her stuffed candycane. She likes to pull the stuffing and squeaker out of some and just play w/ the lining. It's so much fun watching them steal eachother's toys and run. Wish I had a picture of Hannah in the lead w/ a toy and Abbey and Kiara right on her heels.

[Mama Kim]

Beth, that is an adorable picture of your sweet little angel Cairns.

And Scully's Mom, don't let that picture fool you. She's really not that well-behaved.

[Brigette]

I cant believe how pretty you got them all to pose.

[bradl]

Impressive!

[Brigette]

Brad, I love how Stella has two different colored paws. Such pretty markings!

[bradl]

If she had been a male we would have called her Gordon. Gordon Light-Foot.

[kayharley]

toomanypaws......HOW do you get them to stay together for pictures?

[Scully'sMom]

WOW! That is a great picture, I can't believe it. I want to know the secret as well as to how you did it. That picture belongs on a calendar!

[CathyAnn]

Let's see if I can remember how to post a pic.....

[toomanypaws]

For those asking how I get my cairns to stay. Kiara is great when it comes to staying INDOORS, just really have to work w/ her w/ the outdoors. I always position her first w/ a "stay" command and then call Abbey and Hannah over and w/ both hands I push them into a "sitting" position. I keep telling them to stay as I talk to them and start clicking. I probably took at least 8 pictures to get just one of all of them looking at me. Afterwards, they know it's a mad dash to the treat jar.

Hi y'all!!!

Thought this might be a good first post to jump right in on.

This is my 14 year old Cairn, McMurphy, my lil' ray of sunshine

And this is a picture of Maddie, my lil' soulmate dog

She passed away last year and I thought I'd never want to get another Cairn, because none could ever live up to her. As time rapidly ticks off on Murph's life though, I know I'm going to have to have another Cairn someday. Just can't imagine life without a happy, happy, never ending tail waggin' Cairn in it.

Welcome ParNone and Murphy (with a tip of the hat to Maddie's memory). Those videos are a hoot. I particularly like Murhpy carrying around his toy and the teeter video. (A copy or link of that should be sent to Bette at puppybutt.com. )

Murphy looks like he provides entertainment for Gull. A retired lady used to live next to us - she spent all day every day on her back deck in a chair, smoking. One day she called over to say, "Those dogs sure are a lot of company, aren't they?" Well put. They are indeed.
