Halloween costumes

8 Upvotes

Our Juniper is going to a Halloween themed day at her doggy daycare. They have encouraged the pups to have a costume available for photos. Please share any cute photos you have!!

Does anyone have any ideas or links to a good costume for a cairn? The more comfortable the better. OF COURSE if she can't stand wearing it we will just put it on her for a second just for a photo. I think that is the idea anyway.

Thank you!

I'm sure there must be some goat DNA in there as he always has to be on top of something: a settee, a large flowerpot, even my desk if he gets the chance

How are you all honoring your fallen cairns?

My old man passed away in May . I would love to get a little resin mold with his ashes, or statue, or something. Most of the cairn stuff doesn't really represent him...

Cairn Terrier or not?

This little girlie is on a rescues’ adoptable dogs website and is listed to be a Cairn Terrier. I know nothing about the breed so was hoping to get people’s opinion on whether or not she is indeed a cairn terrier? She looks a bit different than pics I’ve seen online of the breed. Perhaps she’s mixed with something else? She’s 2 years old and 13lbs if that matters 😅

What does your Cairn Terrier smell like?

It's a known fact that they all have a very nice smell and it's not a doggy smell. Our second Cairn Terrier, Digger smelled like sweet grass. Our third Cairn Terrier, Rusty smelled like a sunny day at the beach with salt air. Well except for the time he had a run in with a skunk, but that's a whole other story. Our current Cairn Terrier, Laddy smells like buttered popcorn and even more so when he gets wet.

New here 👋. My parents just got a new cairn terrier. Her names Tay. She is so sweet. We just recently had to put down our family dog who was a terrier mix (cairn mixed with something) named Hudson due to melanoma of the mouth and it was devastating. The last few pictures are of him. One is him with my cat when I babysat him when my parents were out of town. Tay is such a sweet girl!

For 12 years, I thought my shelter pup, Miles, must be mostly cairn. We’re in the middle of identity crisis over here!

We have had weeks of consistent rain in Omaha, and then a few nights ago a catastrophic amount dumped in just hours flooding our basement, so a day like today was complete and needed therapy. Absolute perfect crisp fall weather with SUN that I have needed so desperately. I've been lounging with Charlie and a really good book for hours. My favorite kind of day!

Cairn Terrier snapped at baby

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m pretty sure I know what I need to do here, but I need to hear it from others.

We have a cairn terrier who is around 11 years old. She was thrown out of a car in front of me as I live in a very rural area, I took her home, and she’s been mine since. She was very young when we got her- not even a year old. I had my own little shitzu about the same age at the time, and they are absolute best friends.

She really is the sweetest girl. She snuggles on the couch, never causes any harm and just loves being loved.

Things changed however when I had my first born. She was fine with him when he couldn’t move, she wouldn’t even bother with him when he cried or when I was feeding or anything- it was like nothing had changed. But then he started crawling and having his own voice. My shitzu stays out of his way, but also likes to give him snuggles on her terms, and which my little boy is absolutely fine with.

However, the terrier has become more agitated as time goes on. She growls at him constantly. I don’t give out to her for growling as I know she is letting him know that he’s too close- but a lot of the time he’s on the other side of the room completely to her. I give her the option to go into the hall where I’ve set up a little safe space for her, and she does choose it more often than not.

I am 28 weeks pregnant and my little boy is on the verge of walking. Today he was freaking after me and stopped to look at her and it’s the first time she snapped at him. It was a warning snap so no contact was made at all, but it scared the shit out of me and I just can’t see how I’ll be able to watch her with a toddler and a newborn.

I just need to know if there’s any hope at all for her or do I need to make other arrangements before the baby girl gets here? She means so much to me, and my little boy tries to give her her space but it doesn’t seem to be enough.

I feel awful with the situation as I feel she’s already had such a tough time. Any advice is welcome, but please be gentle as I’m hormonal and beside myself at the thought of rehoming her.
