If you could speak Cairn...

[remltr]

...what would you want to ask your little buddy?

I have a few questions, but I'll start with one:

Sassy, you can smell a rabbit hiding in the bushes and will hunt it until you are totally frustrated because you can't seem to catch it, yet you just walked past a rabbit sitting five feet away without giving it a glance. Why?

Add yours...

[Newman]

I would ask him if he would talk in a human voice for 20seconds so I can capture it on video and post it on youtube and make him a little celebrity! (Though I guess he is always my celebrity <3)

Haha great topic!

[DemiSheep]

I would ask Attila why he's such a push over when Tessa is around...

I would ask Tessa for her thoughts on her happy pee issue and get some recommendations from her on how to best solve the problem.

[shergry]

Would ask Sully; "Why the walk of shame when I ask you to come inside to enjoy the A/C"?

[hheldorfer]

Questions to Buffy: "Why did you roll in that? Why did you eat that? What could possibly be so enticing about squirrel poop?"

[Hillscreek]

Why are you such a little chatterbox, Angus?

[DemiSheep]

A couple more (sorry!):

Attila, does rabbit poop really taste THAT good?

Tessa, why don't you like to share with your brother? Is it really fun stealing his bully stick and you having two and he had none and he is over there looking at you chewing away???

[kjwarnold]

To Packy: "Why do you drag your butt to get attention at dinner time? Don't you realize that's not the best attention-getting action? Duh!"

To Kirby: "You've seen 6,345, 428 squirrels run past the living room window, just in the past 2 months. Do you really need to bark like it's the first one you've ever seen?"

[Idaho Cairns]

"Bonnie, why do you do this everytime I'm on Cairn Talk? Huh?"

[Lynn in TN]

The number one question I would like to know is if she is happy with us?

Then would come a million other questions.

What is wrong with your leg?

Why do you feel the need to lay on my hands and laptop keyboard when I'm on Cairn Talk.

Why are you so obsessed with smelling our cars?

Why do you eat rabbit poo?

Why do you tear your toys up?

Why are you so interested when I am doing my business in the bathroom? Can I have some privacy please?

Why do you run in front of me? do you want to trip me?

Well you get the picture, I could ask questions all day!

[Zekey's Mom]

Gavin: Why do you bark at your kibble and try to flip the bowl over, even after I bought a heavy ceramic one?

Zekey: Even though I pet and cuddle the cat, it doesn't mean I love you any less. It's ok if she sits on my lap every once in a while.

[Dempsy's Mom]

It's not so much what I would ask Demps - but I would want Demps to tell me whatever he is feeling about anything his little heart desired to talk about. I would love to know what's on his mind. and if I had to pick a question ..... it would be are you happy with your life?

I don't think there's any doubt that Dempsy is happy with his life. All our Cairns wish they could be Dempsy for a day.

[kieiras mom]

I also would want to know if Keira is happy with us. Love this dog so much and have waited so long for her!

[Sam I Am]

I would tell him how happy I am to have him in my life and that every morning no matter what, that he makes me laugh. I would tell him to never be afraid because I will always protect him, even when that bad thunder scares him . I would tell him that we are the best of pals through thick and thin . But most of all I would tell him that I love him. And I would ask him if that was enough or was there something else I could give him to make his life better. Knowing Jock, he would answer...more treats, more food and stop bugging me with the brush and comb!

[josie&holly]

I would like to ask Holly -

Why when I am using the iPad on my knee and doing Facetime with my niece do you feel you have to climb on top of the iPad so all she can see is your butt?

and Why when I put your kibble down you cannot get near and instead stretch right out to eat?

[Autumn & Lola]

What a great topic!

I'd ask Lola why she hates every other dog on earth. I'd ask her, "Don't you want any doggie friends? What happened to you that you hate every one you see and act like you're going to tear them apart no matter what we do to convince you otherwise?"

[tlwtheq]

Oh, what a yummy topic!

To Miss Sweet Pea: Just what are you dreaming about when your legs are going really fast and you're "barking" under your breath.

Must be really exciting dreams!

To Teddy Bear: Bear, why are you such a vocal child...even to the point of growling when you're having your back scratched?

(...because I know you like it!...)

To Olie: Mr Olio, is there ever going to be a time when you don't squeal at the top of your lungs when anyone comes to the door...

... especially for people you know and like the most? (Mom's gonna need a hearing aid one of these days... )

I would ask these, even though I think I know the answers!

[TazTalk]

Taz.... Why are you so ball obsessed? What are you thinking about right before you start zoomies? And why are you so stinking cute!? . And of course I would also like to tell him how much he completes our lives. But I hope he already knows that!

[_whits_]

Addie:

- Why do you lick the bottom of people's shoes?

- Will you - just once - let mommy be in control?

- Why do you come when everyone else calls you but almost never for me?

- Why do you hide from me when I try to pet you during the day?

Mostly, I'd just want her to understand the promise I make to her everyday: "I may leave, but I always come back." And I'd want her to know she really is the light of my life and my very best friend.

[hheldorfer]

Hmmmm . . . and what would they ask *us*, I wonder . . .

[remltr]

You guys have come up with some great questions. There are several of them that apply to us all.

I have another on for Sassy - You love to chase the ball, but you never bring it back. You gnaw on it and then put it down right where you are at. You do understand the concept don't you? I throw the ball you retrieve the ball. - Got it?

[Lynn in TN]

Hmmmm . . . and what would they ask *us*, I wonder . . .

That would be a another topic! haha I would love to know what they would ask/tell us.

Yep, that's Sweet Pea. In the olden days we used to call people like her a "Bogart"....you know, hogging the...er....toy.

Buffy does the same thing. And, at the dog park, she steals other dogs' balls and does it. What a little B!
