Hi, we just welcomed our 10-week old female Cairn, Moxie, into our home on Tuesday. I just wanted to say hello as I'm sure I'll be here asking plenty of questions soon. We got Moxie in the middle of the week so training has gotten off to a bumpy start; I'm doing more research today and am hoping that I can devote more time (and a better-organized mind) to the task over the weekend. Moxie was very quiet the first day, but by the next morning was growling at inanimate objects like my Christmas decorations. She had an accident in her crate last night and was soaked with pee so she had her first bath this morning, which she hated- she seemed to think I was trying to drown her in an inch of water- but she's doing ok and smells much better now!

Why'd we name her Moxie? Well, because research told me Cairns are spunky and a little ornery, and it's also a nod to the, um, "acquired taste" regional soda native to my husband's childhood home in New England.

The best thing about our little Cairn? Watching that hilarious little tail wag, flop, or stand at attention! Here are some photos of Moxie and her hangout (she loves her bed), as well as one of her playing in the yard with our daughter.

Welcome to a great forum! She is adorable. :wub: I also like the set up you have with her pen and crate and bed. Perfect.

ANOTHER puppy!  This forum has been blessed in 2016!

A warm welcome to you and Moxie.  She's precious - and undoubtedly full of mischief.  :)

I agree with Terrier Lover, admiring the set-up you provided for Moxie. The pic of your little girl and Moxie is so precious... something you'll treasure over the years.Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to reading about Moxie and your daughter as they grow up together in years to come!

Hello Moxie and family. Welcome. This is a wonderful forum - so helpful and supportive. For sure Moxie is ready to go as she shows in that first photo. Love her setup. Quite a few puppies joined us this year so I'm sure there'll be others sharing their experiences.

What a little darling.  Welcome to the forum. Cairns know how to work that tail. When Moxie starts doing zoomies you will see how well they work those little legs. Have fun.

Moxie! That's one of the best and most appropriate Cairn names I've ever heard! Welcome to the forum! Excited to hear about the little one's adventures.

My Cairn's first bath involved her making sounds like I was amputating her feet one-by-one with butter knives. They seem to either love water or hate it with a passion.

Welcome to Moxie and to you. :)  She is gorgeous, and who wouldn't love that bed?  It looks so comfy and plush. Love her little sweater, too. :D  I'm sure you'll have plenty of adventure with her!

Love all the puppies!  She's very cute; sure she will be ripping that sweater off herself shortly and be in all kinds of trouble.  Welcome!

My goodness, she really comes through in those pictures! Burst out laughing at picture 1, I assume cairn posture for the first time. It's going good.
