Introducing my friends new Cairn Terrier – Welcome Gilly!

Yesterday, I received an email from my friend, Patti. Patti was the Home Inspector for the Col. Potter rescue from whom I adopted Divinity back in 2009. Patti and her husband have been my friends ever since.

Well, nine months after their last Cairn Terrier went to the bridge, they have adopted a Cairn puppy!

From my friends

We have a new little sweetheart here at our home! Introducing “Gilly”, a 12 week old Cairn puppy!

I know we are crazy, but after an exhausting look for a rescue Cairn we ended up deciding on a puppy!

Gilly is very peppy, but really good so far the few days we have had him. He isn’t shy, loves people and isn’t mouthy, so that is a good start.

On Tuesday of this week, Miss Hooky woke to a very big disappointment from Mother Nature.

Not to worry, there is this nifty home-made snowplow that will take care of things.

If you happen to be looking to adopt, here is a lovely little lady in need of a home!

Callie Mae is very sweet, affectionate and eager to please. She’s good with adults and has done well with some young boys. She is hesitant at first, but given a few “good girls” she is excited to receive pats. She enjoys walking, is excellent on the leash and keeps up a good pace.

On intake she had ulcers on the corneas in both eyes for which she’s had surgery. Her eyes look cloudy due to a permanent underlying edema in the corneas, but it does not cause her any pain. She will need to continue getting Tacrolimus ointment in her eyes twice a day for the rest of her life.

Callie Mae would do best as an only dog. She responds well to verbal corrections and pays close attention to foster mom. Callie Mae likes to cuddle!
