josie&holly Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Four years ago today I collected a little Cairn terrier from the breeder. She has spent four and half years in kennels and concrete run with ten other Cairns. She had been shown and then had two litters. Now the breeder was "retiring" her and I was lucky to get the sweet and beautiful Holly! She was not good on a lead, did not know how to play, and was not keen on being fussed. Now she will walk miles [when she feels like it!], plays happily and loves being fussed [when she feels like it!], she tells me when the phone rings or if I have visitors, and loves being near me. I now adore Cairns whereas before I did not really know much about them. I feel very blessed to have had four years of her gentle companionship and look forward to many more. I found this forum just after I got her and have found in a source of help and friendship, along with our UK Forum, and feel that it is great to be amongst so many Cairnites!! 1 Quote www.cairnterriertalk.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho Cairns Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Happy "Gotcha" day to someone but I'm thinking that maybe Holly got the "Gotcha" in this deal! In any case, it is wonderful that you two "got" each other in the whole scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
