Fergus (fka Barlow) and his new parents

This is our holiday card photo for 2011. We are so delighted with Fergus! 

He loves everyone he meets and is just the happiest little boy. I can’t say enough wonderful things about him.

Thank you for everything and happy holidays!

One Happy Family!

We just wanted to drop a note to thank you for all your help in finding us yet another beautiful Cairn for our family! We picked up Dorsett yesterday from his foster home with Chris C. in CT. We took our other CPCRN adoptee, Luna, to the pick up and they immediately hit it off, assuming play stances and following each other around. There has been no aggression whatsoever; it's amazing. Both seem to be adjusting very well and will sort out their roles as time goes by. (They are laying together at my feet, sound asleep, as I write this.)

Luna has been with us 6 months now and we are amazed at her transformation. So many of her fears and anxieties have disappeared and it is now the exception (rather than the rule) for her to cringe in fear or run from anything. She is now curious and full of energy, loves to meet new people, and loves to travel in the car. It has been so rewarding to see these changes!

Dorsett (to be known as Fergus now) is a lovely pup, full of curiosity, energy, good humor, and wiggles. We just love him! He is also a welcome contrast to Luna, who is a reserved and quiet Lady. They will make a good team!

Many thanks for helping to bring these two little dogs to our family! We cannot say enough good things about CPCRN and recommend it to everyone!

Best,
Diane and Charles

Three Dog Afternoon

Hi, Just wanted to share this photo of my three boys enjoying the sun and to mention how happy we are with Connor (CP Bambi, adopted Nov 2009).

Connor has settled right in and is all Cairn! He zooms around the house and yard and does flying leaps on Brodie (CP Kaleb, adopted Sept 2008) to get him to play. Brodie is just so tolerant of all the hair pulling and leg biting I can hardly believe it.

Mr. Fergus (the Scottie) was somewhat aggressive the first week with the puppy as he established who was Alpha, but now shares his balls and invites the puppy to play.

Thank you to all the volunteers that enable so many Cairns to have Happy Holidays now and in the future!
