NEW CANADIAN CHAMPION!!!!


CONGRTULATIONS TO AM/CA CH CAIRNGORM BOX OF RAIN. Lovingly known as Hunter. Living with Dena, Bill, Sheridan, Tootsie and Alex. Last week a few of us (Val, Dena, Pat, Kula, Kona, Hattie and the grapes, Hunter, Rags, CeCe and Wallace and Grommit, all in the motor home (Speedracer)...Stiller stayed back with Greg) to Canada in the hopes of bringing home some prefixes, and we did!!! In addition, Rags (another Cairngorm puppy from Gema) earned 8 points and Kona (half brother to both) earned a point to give him a total of 5! It was a good week. The grapes were great travelers and CeCe had her baby boys along too. Great fun and another great experience for NW Paws!

Meet Kimmy!


Kimmy came to CRCTC Rescue from the Multnomah County Animal Shelter and is living temporarily with Vicki and The Kinloch Gang, while she waits for just the right Forever Home. She loves to chase and chew balls and hops up on laps for LOL. Today she played with Marty, and Jimmy, who had come to play and to visit sister, Padme.

Landau/Harley and Obi go home



Mary's Star Wars boys have all gone to forever homes.
As posted earlier, Jar Jar is in Montana.
Landau, now Harley, has joined his big sister Hannah and Obi Wan has joined big sister Maisie.
Both are living in Portland, so we expect many visits.

Why We Have Cairn Rescue...



Meet Sycamore! He came to CRCTC Rescue when his family relocated to Portland. While they they are looking for a pet friendly rental, Sycamore, age 13, is staying with Zoe and her family. Today Sycamore received a Make Over from Vicki...what a handsome fellow !
In case you are confused, the pictures should be in the other order...Love, Nanny

Honorary Paws member - Sycamore's make-over


When a family came from Florida with two large dogs, a cat and a Cairn, Cindi so graciously offered to 'foster' Sycamore until they could find a place. Although he is from Missouri and a black and tan at that, he is the sweetest 22 lbs of Cairn. He loves the toys and came over and took them all out of the basket and all over the floor. Yes, he loves Mary's .bird and Mary is kind enough to share. Cindi tells me he loves to chase the ball for hours on end and it is hard to realize that he is 13 yrs old.
Today he came for a make-over and after having a bit of trouble with the clippers, he was done.
I think he is feeling much better

Bag Babies Again


Remember the baskets of Star Wars Pups and Grapes?
Here are the Star Wars Babies before all but Padme left for forever homes, stuffed in the Bag that Mother Mary won in Pennsylvania last fall.
Jar Jar does not look amused.
Oh my, I just realized that I posted the Bag Babies in a past post...oh well, they are so adorable, who can complain?
