New Puppy!

[Carolinasmom]

We lost Carolina in Nov. and I started checking around with breeders from the CTCA site and found that most are no longer breeding. I did find one in early Dec. that had just had puppies but I was not ready at that time. I started checking around again not long ago and one of those puppies was still left! The breeder was going to keep a male and female from the litter and show them but they have decided not to show anymore, other than the dogs they still have.

So, on Wed. they will be bringing her to us! We visited them yesterday. She's quite the energetic one which my kids love. Carolina was older and never really paid them much attention so they were in heaven yesterday. She will be 5 mos. on Thurs. and is house trained. I thought I wanted a younger pup but with my 3 year old still working on potty training herself I think having a bit older pup will save my sanity! Here she is. Her name right now is Wendy but we will pick a new one, not sure what yet. I like Maggie but my 6 y.o. son likes Superman.

Looks like she could use those ears to fly! What a sweetheart. So glad you are bringing a new baby home. Enjoy!!!

[josie&holly]

She looks such a cutie with that dark face!

[Idaho Cairns]

She is really pretty and has that Cairn "square up" stance down to a "T"! I envy you a bunch, I'd love to be starting another pup and the age is really great, particularly if she has be housetrained already. Please keep the information and the pictures coming.

I want to add a postscript here--I have always felt one of the best ways to overcome the grief of losing a beloved Cairn is to bring another Cairn pup into the home, it has always helped me and I think it is an honor to the lost companion, a testiment to how valued the departed pet was to the family.

What a cutie, she will grow into her ears!

There it is! There's the love I was looking for this morning! I knew there would be a puppy to love on Cairn Talk today. Wendy is so very cute. Lucky you! I too love the dark nose and the long whiskers. So happy you brought another little cairn back into your life. Looking forward to hearing here new name and watching her grow.

Awwwww . . . she's a gorgeous little devil!

And you are hereby ordered to provide scads of photos as soon as she arrives in your home!

[Ivy & Lucy's Mom]

She is adorable. I think 5 months old is perfect. We got Ivy at 8 weeks. Luckily, my daughter was 12, so she was really helpful but it was a lot of working, especially with the potty training. Good luck and enjoy...

At only 20 weeks-ish, I imagine there's a little re-housebreaking ahead so you don't feel like you missed the entire experience

So nice that you are able to fill your lives again with Cairn spirit. Patience, humor: stock up!

[kjwarnold]

So happy that you'll have more Cairn joy in your house!

[Lynn in TN]

What a Beautiful girl she is. I can't wait for the stories and more pictures. LOVE< LOVE<

[claymike]

Pretty little girl, same age as Rudy and a fun age.

[Hawkeye]

What a lovely little girl. So glad to hear you decided to get another cairn.

[Newman]

Haha, Should shave him up a little on the beard

He is so cute!

[TazTalk]

Strike the pose! Oh my ... you are going to have so much fun with her.

Let me add to the others -- so, so happy to hear you are bringing home another Cairn.

[lindasue]

I'm with your son; Superman (or Superwoman) is a great name. Although I have always thought that Cujo would be a good name for a cairn.....

Congrats on your new baby!

I brought Addie into my life after my previous dog passed away. It took me a couple years to be ready for a dog again, and Addie made me think I shouldn't have waited so long! You can't ever replace the dog you've lost, but I'm a big believer that our new dogs have a little of our previous dogs spirits. I'm sure Caroline is thrilled you're sharing your love with another Cairn.

Ad for names: maybe one with a "W" since she's been living with Wendy her whole life so far? Either way, I'm sure she's going to love it and your family.

Wonder Woman?

[pindrop]

Isn't this just so exciting to have a new little baby Cairn in the house? She is absolutely the cutest little thing with that dark beard and lovely stance.

Weasel might be a good name to replace Wendy but of course that is what's fun about having a new member of the family - you all get to choose.

Looking forward to tons of pics and all the fun adventures in store for you.

Oh, she is adorable! Congratulations on your new additions...so happy for you! I look forward to seeing pictures!!

[Zekey's Mom]

What a cute face!!!! How nice for you and your family. Hope you enjoy many years together.

As for the name, how about Waggie? (Wendy + Maggie). Or SuperG, for Supergirl.

How cute! A baby!!!!!!

[Idaho Cairns]

Not to be too directive or anything but I like Celtic names for Scottish dogs where appropriate and this little one is just so pretty that I think.......http://www.amethyst-night.com/names/scotfem.html

When I first joined the forum with our Abby when she was.a puppy (she's 7 now) I remember you and Carolina. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. I am so happy for for you now though that you are bringing another sweet puppy into your life!! She is beautiful!!! I can't wait to see more pictures!!!

[remltr]

Congratulations. Something about that face just screams Bandita to me for the name. Not very Scottish, but she will steal your heart.
