Haggis in his custom weight-pull harness pulling a cart loaded with cinder blocks and a full grown man. Canine embodiment of "will work for food." He loved it for some reason. OK, the treats might have been the Main reason but I think he also felt powerful. #TerrierTuesday #cairnterrier #HiVis
A Cairn Terrier in a sturdy harness lined with fluorescent green fleece lining and trim pulls a load that is offscreen. The dog's head and neck are low and forward and his gaze is ahead. The floor is carpet, the room is large, and there is a chain link fence dividing the room.

#ChangingTimes leads to impatient customers and heavy sighing at the #TerrierTuesday Diner
Three cairn terriers wait for dinner to be served. They are in a small laundry room with a sink, washing machine, and their food bowls visible. Two are flopped on a striped runner while the third stands nearby.

"Hardy dog of the highlands" I was told. "Weatherproof coat" I was told. Behold the fearsome terriers. #cairnterrier
Two cairn terriers stand on a deck, under the eaves of a house, on a rainy day, staying on the thin dry path underneath so their dainty feetsies don't touch cold wet water.

Nothing better than #CuddleTime , on #TerrierTuesday or any day. Hoku on the leg and Elroy cooling the jewels. #cairnterrier
Two dogs laze around on a brown sofa next to a seated person. One dark brindle cairn rests a chin on the thigh of the seated person. The other cairn lays on his back, cooling the jewels, with his head cranked at what looks like a fatal angle (but which is apparently comfortable) with his front paws partially outstretched into the air in a sort of begging posture.

Something about a 200 year old razor nudges a morning routine into the realm of reverie. Respect to the makers of Sheffield.
On a gray microfiber towel a straight razor with blade open about 45 degrees leans next to a bottle of aftershave and a jar of shave soap. A shave brush rests bristles-up in a green Wade ceramic pipe rest that features a brown Cairn Terrier.

Why is it that the head tilt is one my favorite things yet I am rubbish at ever getting a good photo of one? Best I can find ...
Echo with the patience of a saint (see look on Stella) and our grand old man Haggis giving a bit of the charm.

A red brindle cairn stands with tilted head upon a green leather footrest. In the corner of the image a small cream brindle cairn looks up with an expression of devilment. A black and white study of four Cairn Terriers in a row.Two at the ends are prone while the two older Cairns in the center sit upright. A large male center-left tilts his head in a charming expression of curiosity and intelligence. Photo by Jal Duncan, rights acquired.

If you do obedience you might chuckle at Stella completing her Broad Jump with an anti-clockwise twirl before fronting. She did it this way 100% of the time her entire life. Left-pawed, I guess. One judge said, "You could train that out, but why? (Bonus Airedale)

A happy black Cairn Terrier peeks out of a green pet carrier bag. A Cairn Terrier sits in the right front seat of a green John Deere Gator. The vehicle is on pasture grass passing through cattle fencing toward a house in the distance. There are hay bales in the bed of the Gator. A man in a hat, holding a clipboard, holds the gate open.

I recently submitted a Letter to the Editor to my city’s newspaper, making the case for supporting active infrastructure within their 300-word limit.

My hope was simple. If just one person sees this topic in a new way, it’s worth it. And I’d encourage other advocates to do the same where they live.

Dundee in black and white. Not much of a stretch really as he's pretty much already black and, well, silver. #TerrierTuesday #cairnterrier #dogsofbluesky
An alert Cairn Terrier stands on a gray sofa peering offscreen to the left. The dog is predominantly black but with silver shot through his face and jacket coat. His chest is an expanse of silver and white. In the background, out of focus, are some prints hanging on a wall.

Dundee is still rather compact, but he was once very very smol.
A meme of cartoon dog and boy in front of a machine. Mr Peabody is saying "Set the Wayback Machine to 2010 Sherman" and the cartoon boy replies "Where are we going Mr Peabody?" A wee cairn terrier puppy sits in dirt and grass, looking up at the viewer. His expression is comically serious.

Dundee supervising transcontinental railroad construction. Elroy giving his interpretation of Peggy being interrupted for the fifth time while trying to read a book.
The back of a cairn terrier's head as he watches a western genre television show. In an orange club chair the head of a cairn terrier peeks over the arm, giving the impression of a dog who has been interrupted.

A dark brindle Cairn Terrier sits tidily next to a cement Cairn statuette, in the same pose. They are sitting on grass in front of a rose bush, along an overgrown stone path. A small elderly silver female brindled Cairn Terrier sits atop a large rock next to a larger, darker, beefier male. The rock is situated in a garden sitting area with lawn furniture and paving stones. In the background is a fence; beyond, a forest edge.

The Princess and the Pea, aka Echo. The Great Escape. Not my dog but a relative at the breeder's. If a dog will climb there's no stopping them. #OnHigherGround #TerrierTuesday
A reddish brown Cairn Terrier sits comfortably atop a stack of six brown and pink plush crate mats, themselves stacked on top a black wire crate. A Cairn Terrier puppy stands balanced on a board atop the six foot chain link fence of a dog kennel.

Whatever the weather most of the best times happen outside. Stella, Griffin, and slightly soggy but otherwise happy hitching post. #TerrierTuesday #cairnterrier #dogsofbluesky
A man in a rain jacket and hat holds two leashes, a Cairn Terrier at the end of each, all looking back at the photographer. They stand next to a very large roll of hay resting in a foggy, misty field. Tall evergreen trees are visible in the distance look like they are dancing in the wind.

A blur that tears me up every time. Somehow that tail blur captures the very essence of Stella in the obedience ring. With laughter and love, life is a blur.

A woman in a blue suit holds out a giant ribbon and a dog mat as prizes to a man holding more ribbons, a dog toy, and a leash. The leash is attached to a small Cairn Terrier who appears interested in something off-screen and whose tail is a blur.

#TerrierTuesday #Neighbourhood Although ours is largely a boring suburban neighborhood we do have the luxury of living only a half block from a lovely park and wetland. In addition to the local (and visiting) dogs we bump into on the path we are also blessed to meet other life forms occasionally.
A pond in the early morning light is shrouded in mist. Trees in the distance reflect in the water. A blue heron stands on the water amid the greenery of a pond shoreline. Three nutria nibbling away at the ground against a background of green grass and scattered fallen leaves. Two Canada Geese sit on a paved walkway at water's edge, alert and bracketing a clutch of five young hatchlings

I think we can see who in the house is more generous with treat dispensing. I used the time machine so you'll have to age up the photos 20+ years to imagine the current state of hoo decrepitude and a dog not in an urn :-(

Three dogs relax on the lap of a woman reclining in a leather chair; the woman has a phone next to her ear. Profile view of a cute Cairn Terrier and even cuter woman looking at something offscreen to the left. A somewhat disheveled man in blue jeans and a plaid shirt strides with an animated looking small Cairn Terrier, caught mid-step as they heel across the black rubber floor of an obedience trial ring. A small Cairn Terrier looks with interest at an earthdog judge wearing a red shirt and purple ball cap. The judge is praising the dog while the proud owner holds the dog in one arm, clutching some ribbons in the other hand. In the background is fencing and a green pasture, with a line of trees in the distance.
