any owners of Cairn Terriers here?
« on: December 19, 2009, 09:53:41 PM »
a good friend of mine is in end stages of cancer and has asked me to take her dog and cat. i wouldnt ever dream of saying no, but if anyone here has one, what can i expect? i imagine this is a pretty well trained little barker as all her dogs have been. the cat......26 pound Maine Coon cat. the kitty was one of 3 kittens born to a barn cat i had 5 or 6 years ago.

My daughter has one, looks just like Toto.  I generally don't like small dogs, but he is tolerable.  Smart and alert, not yappy or high strung.  At a year and a half old, he is very playful, full of piss and vinegar.

I want to get a Maine Coon one of these days- those are cool cats.
