Thief

[hallswel]

Short story; I went to a dog show last weekend with a friend from work who is a toy person, long weekend, she works with me and today at lunch she told everyone who would listen that Sugar was a thief. She told them that Sugar would jump on her bed and steal Glory

True true!! I think that we should all add to the Cairn Terrier Manual.

CODE OF LANGUAGE, Cairn Terrier Manual, Section 3.6, "Barking"

Section 3.6.1 - Cairn Terriers will bark at everything that moves. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Section 3.6.2 - Cairn Terriers will bark at everything that does not move but looks like it may be thinking about moving. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Section 3.6.3 - Cairn Terriers will bark louder and longer than any other dog that chooses to participate in the bark fest. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Section 3.6.4 - Cairn Terriers will bark for at least 75% of the time he/she is awake. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Section 3.6.5 - Cairn Terriers will ignore any and all requests to stop barking. "No Bark" IS NOT to be in our vocabulary. NO EXCEPTIONS.

***Sugar looks beautiful by the way!***

Of course! Everyone knows that toys belong first and foremost to the Cairn in any crowd.

Sugar is a beautiful child...congrats.

Sugar looks so sweet and innocent. How could anyone accuse her of stealing anything? I'm sure she was just borrowing the toys and had every intention of giving them back. The look in that corgi's eye is priceless. He's not quite sure how to react to Sugar's attention.

BTW, someday I would love to have a little girl Cairn that looks just like Sugar. She is just beautiful.

MAKE it a GREAT day!!!

Stupid Q ????

Where is this Cairn Terrier Manual located?

[abe's dad]

lol! Not a stupid question at all. mainly wishful thinking on the part of all of us!!

[hallswel]

Yes we should do a Cairn Manual

A section on "Coming when Called"

"digging"

"bugs"

"getting nails clipped"

with all the talent on this forum it would be great reading!

Sugar is just a girl who knows what she wants! Decisive, quick-witted, quick acting. A model gal...

When Walt the Border Collie visits, I sometimes give him and Allie a few rawhide chews. I always hand out more than two because Allie steals Walt's, and he lets her. Last weekend I found Allie on her rug chewing on one and laying on a whole nest of other chewies while Walt just barked at me, in sheer frustration, I'm sure.

Liz,

I just noticed the squirrel toy the dogs had on the link you provided. I'm surprised it's still intact Saidi has three of them that came in a "squirrel house" and all the squirrels had been properly gutted in under a week

[hallswel]

Well it was not Sugar's squirrel, she usually kills them takes out the stuffing and spreads it all over the house. Lana kept rescuing Glorys toys. Of course when we packed up there was one under the bed of her crate, I just left it.

[Scully'sMom]

Sugar is absolutely gorgeous! I enjoy every picture of her. And I know she is NOT a thief....just look at that face!!!

[toomanypaws]

I must say, Sugar is the cutest little thief I've ever seen.

[JazzMom]

I had to laugh just reading the subject line. Says it all

[wheezie23]

Liz, Sugar is absolutely gorgeous! I expect to see her at Westminster someday!

And it's absolutely true about the female cairn owning everything. In the short time Chloe has been here, she has positioned herself as the leader of the pack, and Scruffy and Tucker cannot have a toy that she doesn't let them have. It's too funny!

[purebella]

it is always the sweet looking ones you have to watch out for.......

Sugar is gorgeous - her coat looks fantastic!

[Lesley]

Go Sugar girl - you take all the toy's you want. A rules a rule - if it's documented, even better
