Cairns in the Movies

[JerryLv]

Last night we watched the movie 'Elizabeth, The Golden Years. Mary Queen of Scots had a pet Cairn in almost all of her scenes (Except of course the scene where she lost her head).

The Cairn didn't have a speaking part, but Zen saw him/her and gave a couple of barks. It's alway exciting to suddenly see a Cairn show up in the movie you are watching.

I saw that a couple months ago, I was so excited!

I looked up on wikipedia on Mary Queen of Scots, and apperently when she was beheaded her little dog was underneath her dress and came running out barking when her head dropped.

There is a couple of threads on here in regards to Cairns in movies.

There was also a Cairn in "Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag". For those not familiar with it, it is a dark comedy, and may not be to everyones taste. But the Cairn in it steals every scene he's in, although he only gets a couple minutes of "face time" in the entire movie.

It was on TV a few months ago although I don't remember which channel. As often as they rerun movies though, I'd expect it will be back on fairly soon.

I just had to add this.

The real reason I have a Cairn today is watching this dog millions of times..Wishing for one of these.

After getting our Kirby, who looks JUST LIKE Toto, we can't watch The Wizard of Oz without spending the whole movie comparing the two dogs-the movie might well be The Terrier of Oz as far as we are concerned. Two peas in a pod.

Couldn't resist watching the clip - I never noticed before how Toto keeps stickin his (her?) paw out for more attention from Judy. Cute how the ears were back with the singing too

[Kirby's Mom]

That's my favorite part. Also, when the Tin Man is doing his dance break, and Toto is kind of dancing with him, but then he shoots some steam and Toto takes off.

That clip is SO sweet, and addicting, I am going to have to play it again. You can't help singin' right along with Dorothy. Thanks, Puddles' mama. Loved the way he (she) was putting out that paw.
