My Cairn Terrier Was Stuck Last Night!


Finch is my little 4 year old Cairn Terrier. What is a Cairn Terrier? It's the breed of dog that was in the movie The Wizard Of Oz. They are spunky little things, and full of life!
Finch loves to crawl under this chair, in our basement, and peek her head out from the bottom. She will stay ther, observing the room, for long periods of time.
Finch peeked her head out last night and I thought she was doing her usual "hanging out"...until I heard her whine. For some reason, Finch thought she was stuck under the chair! I rolled her tennis ball (her pacifier) in front of her, but she wouldn't budge...so I knew she thought she was really stuck! Such a silly puppy!

The Happy Squeak Of My Dog!

My funny Cairn Terrier LOVES balls! She is never without one! I have to buy the tennis balls made for dogs, because she cracks the real ones when she bites them. These balls squeak sooo loud! My son hides them from her because of the sound. LOL! See for yourself!

That big black object is my poor ankle inside a "walking" boot, although I'm not able to walk without crutches yet. :(

What A Life!

My two Cairn Terries! I love them to pieces, and they bring joy to me each and every day!
Scout is on the left. We found Scout through the newspaper. Not the best place to find a dog, but we had been looking for Cairn Terriers for several years and kept coming up empty. Scout was 10 weeks old when we adopted her and at the time, she was all black. You see, Cairns change colors, and within a years span, can change from an all black dog, to a wheaten (blond).
Finch, on the right, came from a breeder. I found Finch through a website. I had mentioned that we were searching for another Cairn, and a member emailed to let me know that she had a friend that breeds Cairns. After a lot of communication, we adopted Finch! She was only 2 weeks old, so we had to wait until she was 8 weeks old before she could come home.

Finch is 4 years old today! As you can see, she loves balls! Finch is usually carrying something in her mouth....either a ball, or a Frisbee. She know all of them as "balls".

Scout, above left, is almost 6 years old. Her birthday is April 1st! She our quiet one. She loves to observe lift from a corner of the world. As Finch is running around chasing balls, Scout is in a corner, watching carefully, while listening to nature.
