2022 Cairn of the Year

Congratulations Mali— 2022 CairnTalk Cairn of the Year!

Mali was born on March 2, 2008 and has been a puppy ever since.

Mali has at least 12 different nicknames and responded to all of them while she could hear. “Stub Nugs” was the nickname I think every Cairn owner can relate to, lol! We are finding new joys in caring for her at the onset of her golden years. With the help of some laser treatments and new beds, she can still charge on a walk (aka a “smell tour”) with the best of them!

Mali “goes to the office” otherwise known as her dog bed in her dad’s home office each day and takes frequent play breaks with mom in between her writing stretches. She loves to travel and gets extra giddy when her “airplane bag” comes out of the closet. I’ve had Mali since I was 25 and will turn 40 this year. There is no way I can put into this blurb the amount of memories she has given me in that time.  

Mali grew up in Nashville TN but now lives in San Diego, CA with her mom (Kat) and dad (Alex).
