About 3 weeks ago I found a little terrier on Petfinder.com. Unfortunately, she was adopted the day before I was set to go to Houston to pick her up. Having already "nested" and prepared for her arrival, my husband encouraged me to look for a puppy on our local classifieds website. It was there that I found the Cairn Terrier puppies, and that evening, I got my Ripley!

We named her after Sigourney Weaver in Alien. My husband, Kenneth, is a big movie buff, and this is a favorite for the both of us! She is now 10 weeks old and a joy. Kenneth and I were married in March of last year, and this is another exciting adventure for us.

We are having a big freeze in Southeast Texas this week, so we are keeping Ripley bundled up!

Here is our precious furbaby!

That middle picture says it all! What a sharp looking little girl your Ripley--head up, ears up, tail up--she's raring to go. Love it.

She is adorable!! Congrats on your new adventure! If you've never owned a Cairn before, you'll love them. I love my two rescues, but I'm itching to get a pup to raise.

Another lovely pup! I think you will enjoy Ripley and become very attached to Cairns!

Congratulations on finding a beautiful puppy. I too am experiencing my first Cairn who is now 10 months old and we are so pleased we picked this breed. She's gorgeous!

Ripley is absolutely adorable. I too have my first cairn Layla who is 4 1/2 months old. What a treat you have in store for you. Welcome to the forum and I'm sure you will derive lots of enjoyment and advice from this site. Good Luck with your little bundle of joy! Cute sweater - I didn't realize they made them this small.
