My Cairn Terriers

Today my two babies had their teeth cleaned at the vet. It sounds easy, but the vet has to give them general anesthesia so she can scrape their teeth. My husband dropped them off at the vet early this morning and although they have been gone all day, I can still "feel" them. I know it sounds weird, but I can feel them all over the house. Scout likes to sit by my feet while I am on the computer. Even though she often is met with my leg as I get up, she continues to sit in the same spot. This afternoon, I started to get up and I swear I could feel her body against my leg.

Scout (below) is almost 10 years old, and Finch (above) is almost 8! It's hard to believe that they are "elderly" dogs now! Finch still acts like she is a puppy. Dogs are on this earth for such a short time. The little grey hairs I see remind me to treasure them each and every day.

Through The Eyes Of Dogs

This is how my two Cairn Terriers spend their day. No Soap Opera's for my two!

A Morning Walk Around My Yard

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.
