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.

The Life of a Cairn Terrier

 

It's been raining cats and dogs here in St. Louis. We took a break from being cooped up inside to enjoy throwing the frisbee and looking at the flowers.

As you can see, Finch loves her frisbee! She loves to bite the middle and then shake her whole head. Because of this, we have gone through many frisbees! Usually  they develop a hole in the middle...imagine that!

I bought this heavy rubber frisbee hoping to solve the problem, but as you can see, she has figured out how to fold it in half, bite the middle and shake her little heart out!
