Hello!!

Im Christina, and Im sure theres a Canadian version of this site somewhere, but I found this one first I live in Toronto, Ontario and got my Cairn about 5 weeks ago. I actually adopted him from my roommate who bought him but did not bond with him at all. I was home all the time and not working then, and did bond with him. She then gave me custody of the little guy, and Ive been madly in love with him since day 1!

I'm 30 years old (or 20 with 10 years experience as I like to say!) and just recently moved back to Toronto from Columbus, Ohio. I lived out there for 2 years with my boyfriend at the time but we have now since broken up. wallE came into my life, just as the bf was making his exit. Im currently working as a server in a restaurant, but its just a stepping stone, since Im just now reestablishing life back here. If there's anything anybody needs to know about me, I LOVE karaoke! Thats about all for now!

hello and welcome - your pup looks very cute! I have found this Forum very useful.

My name is Kileen & my husband, Ryan, and I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary next month. I am a postdoctoral fellow in medical microbiology and my DH is a computer & electrical engineer. We have our 3 year old Cairn, Kenna, a 7 month old Whoodle (soft-coated wheaton terrier x poodle, sacrilege, I know) named Whoody, and a 7 year old cat, Keiko. We live in Los Angeles. I haven't been on the forum in a couple years, too busy with personal life, but as things settle down, I hope to visit a little more regularly. I've always loved the stories, pictures, and advice, and this forum really helped me manage life with an adolescent Cairn.

[Jayme]

I guess this is as good a place as any to introduce myself, lol. My name is Jayme. I live in rural Kansas and am married. I've got an 8 year old daughter and a 6 year old son and am expecting a little Cairn boy in the next few weeks. He'll be coming to my home as soon as he's old enough to leave his breeder. We are thinking is name will be Max. I'll have to post pictures when he comes home.

[jimnconnie]

Welcome to the Forum, and as I like to say "CAIRNGRATULATIONS!!!!" on the upcoming addition to your family. I'll bet you & your family are anxious to get your hands on Max, & get some of those puppy kisses. You'll find lots of nice folks here, and we're all willing to give help & advice when it's asked for. Cairns are the greatest, and Kansas is a natural place for a Toto-dog. Be sure to post lots of pix as soon as Max gets home.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on becoming a cairn mom. Can't wait to see some pictures of Max.

Howdy. My name is Jarrod. I'm a filmmaker. Documentaries, surf films, music videos, short films... I posted a short film and a music video starring Hank in the Member Gallery in the Cairn Life section. I take waaaaaaaay too many pictures of Hank. Hank is my best friend. I got him a couple days after New Years 2009. He was born on October 28th 2008. He was smaller than my forearm when I brought him home

I like writing, taking photos, making movies, reading, surfing, golf and all kinds of music. I really like the original American country... along the lines of Waylon Jennings or Hank Williams. I like Hank Williams so much that I named my Cairn after him. My Cairn, Hank, is officially named 'Hank Williams Rough-n-Tough S.O.B.'

We have a lot of fun together. We go to the beach every morning. Hank's been going to the beach since he was about 3 months old. He swims in the surf when the waves are small.

Hank has changed my life and the way I see the world for the better =)

[Idaho Cairns]

Welcome Jarrod--we share an appreciation of not only Cairn Terriers but of good "old" country music--tho mine is more in the Hoyt Axton, Don Williams, Vern Gosdin vein. Not only that but your Hank and my little Bonnie are a month apart in age! I understand.

[Laura Schoenheider]

My name is Laura, sometime between this Christmas and New Years, Miley joined my family, she's a 2 yr old Cairn,Yorkie mix.
i got her from a family who'd only had her for 2 weeks before they had allergies to her and didn't want to take her back to the shelter in Indiana, So she's had at least 3 families, She is the bright spot of my day. Sshe is such a terrier she thinks she's the best

Hi,
My name is Sandi and I just lost my best friend unexpectedly. We were visiting family in Atlanta. I feel so lost without my sweet Chloe! She would have turned 12 on June 16th, but passed away on the 14th. We even shared the same birthday! I feel as though someone ripped out a part of my heart. How will I return home without her?
Thanks for listening.
Sandi

Hi, my name is Maggie, from the UK and I got my first Cairn at the beginning of June. His name is Scruffy and he was born on 6th April so he's almost 4 months old now. I can't imagine life without him now, I just retired and wanted a pal to go places with me and enjoy exploring. He has turned our lives upside down!! in a nice way.
I am a member of the UK Cairn Talk and see some of you are members here too. I have been reading lots of your posts and already found some very useful info.

Hi everyone! I just joined tonight and I'm really excited to be here!

I'm Sarah. I'm 31 and live in Thunder Bay, Ontario. I work as a cook in a popular restaurant in town (way TOO popular in my opinion) and I enjoy making crafts.

I am the proud owner of a rescued Cairn by the name of Ginger. She's the apple of my eye and my world pretty much revolves around her. She's 4, a little spitfire, and obsessed with balls and eating paper. She is currently in agility and really enjoying it. Flyball will be our next attempt (she's got the love for the tennis ball and is very keen on bringing it back to me so I can throw it for her again). She's not very Cairn like since I will always believe that my family's first Cairn, Scamp, was the precise definition of a Cairn Terrier. Ginger is quiet, quite obedient, not as stubborn, she needs the comfort pf her kennel to keep her safe when she's home alone, and when she did get out at my Grandpa's house (while I was out of town) she came home looking for me.

Well there is more about Ginger than me, but I promise, she's way more interesting than I!

Hope everyone is well and I can't wait to start talking to everyone on here!

Sarah and Ginger

Hi Everyone,

My name is Lisa, I live in Maine. I am 39 years old and I have been married to my husband John for 8 years. We have no children but we have a little cairn named Harry. Harry just turned 8 months old and is prooving to be every inch a cairn. My husband is my very best friend and we enjoy lots of hiking, skiing, biking, scuba diving and boating. We take Harry everywhere with us and he has become a lover of my kayak. I enjoy this forum very much and I am very grateful to all of you other cairn lovers who have helped me out so much during our first year as puppy owners!! Thank you!

Hi Lisa This is Sandy (we used to ride together to work!) I can't believe I've tripped over you on this (of all web sites) I've been wanting to get back in touch with you as our little Molly passed away in June and we have just put a deposit down on a Cairn with a breeder here in Maine. I was fortunate enough to contact your old boss and have your phone number and was going to contact you for any tips you might be able to give me once we have our new baby. We will be getting her just before Thanksgiving (Nov. 19th) Hope all is well with you and can't wait to see and Harry again.
