Zekey's Mom Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I started watching a new crime drama on TNT, Rizzoli & Isles. The pilot episode featured a dog named Joe Friday, that I think is a Cairn! And, it shows up in all of the other episodes. Has anyone else caught this? I know the show is based on a series of novels, but I haven't read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie&holly Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Not able to watch this in UK[at present - will probably come here eventually!] but I do like Tess Gerritsen's books - cannot remember any dog featuring in the Jane Rizzoli ones that I have read though - must have another look at Library!

Dempsy's Mom Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 We won't get it here. What color is Joe Friday? Quote Elsie, Max, Meeko & Lori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zekey's Mom Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I'm going to guess cream, wheaten, or light brindle. I couldn't find a pic of him online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brody Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I saw it! And I'm pretty sure it is a cairn. She had longer hair which threw me off at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Cairns Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Absolutely, positively a wheaten colored Cairn Terrier. Lovely dog, natural coat, ungroomed, right size. I'd take it in a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasue Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I saw the dog too and was sure it was a cairn! Love the Joe Friday name.....and the dog is a devil, so it must be a cairn! Quote Linda & Pegi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnandTuk-tuk Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 oh I knew I wanted to watch that show! I was hoping to catch it on hulu since I don't have that kinda cable, but my ds accidentally infected my computer with a horrible virus! -visiting via my phone, such a tiny screen!- I wanna see the cairn!

jodi0553 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks for starting this thread! I'd been wanting to watch it because I really like Angie Harmon (I'm a Law and Order junkie!) but hadn't jumped in yet. Just watched episodes 1 - 3 tonight. Great show and cute cute dog! Added to that, the TNT on demand channel show was also sponsored by cesars dog food and they kept showing that cute commercial where the big white dogs try to be the westie. It looked to me in the first episode that her ears were totally ungroomed and then by episode 2 they had totally stripped them but left the rest of the coat long. She's a gorgeous color and has a great expression. She looks really tiny to me. Dawn - I couldn't find full episodes on hulu and my cable on demand channel only had the three most recent episodes, so I googled "tnt on demand" and found that the tnt website has all of the episodes online. Hope you get the computer fixed so you can watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianer Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 DH and I had this discussion first scene and he says cairn for sure! Later scene had me convinced too but that is a small one with very little hard hair. We of course lost the plot completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasue Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Just watched this week's episode on TIVO and Joe Friday has a bigger role. It's also available on Demand if you have Verizon fios. Quote Linda & Pegi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jodi0553 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Wish I could watch the most recent episode. Currently attempting to, but SOMEBODY has decided to RUNAROUNDALLCRAZYBARKINGHISFOOLHEADOFF at the sounds of jingling leash/collar in Joe Friday's first scene...sigh!

sanford Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Got some screen shots off of the computer Thanks for posting the pix of Joe Friday. Cute! I was really curious to see him, but I'm not much of a TV fan so I didn't think my chances were too good. (I assumed Joe is a male, but he appears to be wearing a pink collar. What's up with that?).

Tracy A. Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Everyone who is feeling the urge to start stripping that dog, please raise your hands or thumbs.. Quote Tracy, Amos, Walter, Brattwrust & Mettwurst a.k.a The Gremlins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Cairns Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Everyone who is feeling the urge to start stripping that dog, please raise your hands or thumbs.. Oh, no, no, no--that is the way Cairns are supposed to look! It's that "natural look", you know, the look they were born with. I doubt the farmers of Scotland took time to strip hair off their little varmint dogs. "Different strokes" you know--some of us like that long haired look on our Cairns and we live in places where having that much hair isn't such a problem for the dog. Actually this dog looks so much like our beloved Tootsie, it makes me tear up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetsyNoodle Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 OMG! The Cairn in the photo that Idaho posted looks so much like my dearly departed Betsy Noodle, that I have tears in my eyes. I can't wait to show my husband the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Cairns Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Sorry! Our Toots was with us for so many years (14) and had such a sweet face and disposition for every one one of them! I hope the picture of Toots brings back some happy memories of Betsy Noodle as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your 'they look like a yak' ole natrual likes....however if I had my hands on that dog, i'd have that hair stripped out faster than you can say "OMG the Dog is Naked!"

Idaho Cairns Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Yak! Yak! Well, I never! Yaks have droopy ears and stand in a circle--couldn't get a Cairn to do that in a million years! Now what would I do without my little "Pantaloons" waving when my little girl goes strutting away from me! Do you have any idea how cute this little set of bloomers looks from behind in the flesh--they actually sashay when she walks! Why in the world would I want to pluck away that neat and oh so feminine skirt off my dog? Yak indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) "...I say Tomato, you say To-mat-oe...." There is actually another cairn at my local dog park whose name is "Tomato" Her brother's name is "Olive" (lol)! Joe Friday looks like he's bit overdue in the grooming department, but I also agree with Idaho Cairns; the distinctive texture of their rough, harsh coats is one of the visual assets of this natural-looking breed.

cairnrescueleague Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I also love the shaggy look. I also noticed the pink collar on Joe Friday and think he has a very feminine face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodi0553 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) I'm with Tracy...You see a skirt and pantaloons and I see a dingle berry trap! Ha ha, to each their own, indeed! Just to go back to the he/she pink collar, etc conversation - Joe is a she. When she is introduced in the first episode, an older male character named her and Rizzoli (who eventually adopts the cairn) comments that it's a boy name. As a woman who grew up being called Jo by my mom, I think its a lovely girl name Edited August 25, 2010 by jodi0553 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
