09-11-13 - Zoey Video with Basketball; The Washer
6:35AM - We were up and cleaning up a mess. The kids are going full blast today!
6:43AM - Maggie had been getting on her throne again. She discovered it about 2 days ago. She was the only one who could climb up on this plastic box. Today, Sweetpea just climbed up on the throne! She was so proud of herself! She jumped off without fear, then tried to get back up. Of course, my battery was down on my video camera at the moment she discovered she could do it!
Our schedule was off yesterday. My neighbor is moving, and spent most of the day with her. They ate late last night, so their was a ton of poop this morning.
They are running on high energy this morning since they only had playtime in the morning and evening and none during the day. Plus, it seems everyone got along. They were very calm when I got back last night - very usual!
7:41AM - Hello Dolly has had a big morning. She climbed onto Maggie's throne also! Then, she started turning her cute little head! She will make great pictures! My little sleepy heads (Tazz and CoCo) are finally getting up. Belles and Chase have already eaten and out exploring the world!
Little Joe and Hello Dolly was in a box today! I just cannot get all these cute moments! I need a video cam of them!
All of a sudden, they all stopped. They have heard the washer and dryer forever. All of a sudden, all of them turn their backs on me to face the washer. It was draining!
I'll have to post the video - too funny.
Zoey was on the bottom shelf in the utility room. She jumps off and Maggie jumps off and lands of her!
9:24PM Belles wrestling with her mom (CoCo) on my bed and all over my bedroom! Something has gotten into Belles since having those puppies! She never played with CoCo like she does now!

The puppies are turning their boxes on their sides which is probably safer. Maggie was on her throne, then looked at the box. I could just read her mind. "I'm going to jump from my throne into that box!" Yikes. I turned the box on its side then!

I have so many great videos of the kids. I wish I could get them all to you. I hope to put them together with my new computer later, so you can see how they grew up. I like to provide you video because I wish I could have seen my dogs grow up. You have so many questions after you get them. Did they show this behavior when they were younger? What were like with their siblings? Etc.
When you get your puppies, the one thing to remember is patience. If you get up tight, they will get up tight and no progress will be made - especially during training. Their progress just cannot be rushed.
I started training them yesterday on SIT and DOWN which I will show you. You want them to recognize you as pack leader in your household because you will be forming a new pack with them.
They are playing well in the utility room this morning. It has become very quiet in there - that is when I worry. They come out of their pens in the morning like little firecrackers! They are loving their boxes which I will send one home with them - don't let me forget. It gives them something solid to sink their teeth into instead of your cabinets!
Belles goes to check on them from time to time. In the morning, she cannot wait to go to the gate and count them!
CoCo looks at them. She went in and stole a rawhide chew from them. She has no shame!
I added more to yesterday's blog!
I hope this blog will help you to be ready for your puppies and you will share your experiences with me as they grow up!
They are all so loving and want to be picked up all the time which doesn't happen with all terriers. Terriers are very independent. When you get them home, keep taking them to the sofa with their chew sticks. This way you are teaching them to snuggle up with you. Both Flopsie and Belles loved to get up on the sofa with me. Belles served as my pillow at times until she discovered the large TV. Now, she is a TV addict! If we turn off the TV, then she goes back to the wonderful snuggly state!
From the time you get your puppy, you will be training them and getting them into your routine. Remember, to talk to your puppy - they love it - especially on a walk!
I put the puppies back in the pen. It was very quite in the utility room. I put their boxes in both areas for them to crawl in and go to sleep. I won't leave the boxes in the pens when I leave the house because they could move it, jump on it, and try to jump over the top of the pen. I put their toys to snuggle up in for sleeping.
Sweetpea was trying to get her plastic hanger into her box - too cute!
Hello Dolly is sleeping in her box. Her little feet are dangling outside the box! Too cute!
This is interesting - most of the puppies are getting silver down their noses! Little Joe has something special (last time I looked), he has a silver Go -T.
Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks - Tazz (who is 11 years old) has learned to COME when called recently. She was my apartment dog with the stubborn terrier attitude! She also watched CoCo learn to PLAY DEAD (which is complex). Do you know she just did it one day by herself? She wanted a treat like CoCo was getting, and she loves doing the trick!

5:30 AM - They were up very early today. They were fed.
9:30AM - Zoey decided to invoke her Alpha status today in the pen. She started picking on everyone. I removed her from her litter mates and put her in the utility room. She is playing happily in the utility room by herself. At 9 weeks, the litter mates can get grouchy with each other. Everyone else is tired of playing and has gone to sleep! It is nice a quiet in the pen at this time.
After about 10 minutes Zoey went back to the puppy pen and went to sleep. She was pouting some because she went down to the other end to sleep by herself.
10:45AM - Returned from errands. Everything was nice and quiet. Zoey was on the same end of the pen as the other puppies!
11:00 - 11:25AM - We just started learning our SITS and DOWNS this morning. It always amazes me how quickly these Cairns learn! Everyone did wonderful!
11:41AM - Working at the bar while waiting for the puppies to eat and play in the utility room. Little Joe just cocked his head to the side when I spoke to him. My Tazz does does her head that way when I talk to her. It makes for cute pictures!
Zoey had another problem last night. She is great by herself in the utility room. She knows how to entertain herself with the toys. She doesn't seem to get bored playing by herself. In Zoey's defense, the litter mates start getting tired of each other starting in the 9th week. Zoey just moved up the date!
Took Little Joe and Zoey into the study to watch TV on the sofa. Both loved to snuggle. Zoey was sound asleep on me with Steve called me from the grocery store (I had to wake her). Both liked chewing on their little sticks while with me.

This morning, I asked Steve to watch the puppies play in the utility room while I went to shower and get ready for church.
When I returned, the kitchen was full of Cairns - large and small!
Grandma CoCo, Mama Belles, and even Chase were in the kitchen. I never put Chase in with the puppies because he really doesn't want anything to do with them. You have to watch the males. Belles has calmed down in the last few weeks and doesn't mind the other dogs visiting with the puppies now. Thank goodness!
Sweetpea is still trying to get milk from Mama Belles. The other day - a few of them tried to get milk from CoCo!
Belles is more firm with them than CoCo was. For awhile, I could only put one or two puppies with Belles. If I put more, they would all gang up on her and attack her for milk. She can handle one or two and tell them - NO! She just flops down on her belly, so they cannot get it. CoCo would look at me. I would have to tell her to tell them NO, and she would give them the mama growl.
It is funny how CoCo and Belles move them around teaching them with their noses and body. I don't know if I have posted any of that video, but will try to get more after I saw them playing this morning.
Something has happened with this litter! There has been a change! A good change!
They aren't pooping as much! Aren't you lucky! They are getting more on a schedule of eating and pooping and that is it! Not all day long!
They have also decided to be more clean in their pens! You are lucky again! They are actually sleeping on the carpet end of the pen! Maybe didn't like all the baths they were getting and decided to CLEAN up their act! Ha!
Sweetpea is getting more brave this week!
Maggie actually waited to poop. She didn't poop in the utility room and went to the papers in the pen to poop! She is making decisions now! Yeah - Maggie!
Most are pooping and pottying on the potty pad - when they aren't tearing it up - that hasn't changed - when they are in the utility room playing on their own!
They seem to know their names! I was letting them out of the gate yesterday by calling their names!
They follow very well. When they reach 6 months, watch out! They start becoming their own person and will notice more things and will start running away to chase things. Just have them follow you around the house and ALWAYS keep them on a leash outside if they aren't in a fence. They will stay at your heels - just don't step on them. They can get under foot at this time.
Hello Dolly has very quick fast twitch muscles. She is a runner and the fastest one in the litter!
Little Joe is going to be very fast like Hello Dolly! Need to watch him around 6 months!
All could escape the front door very quickly especially Hello Dolly and Little Joe since they are so fast! The best one to greet people at the front door is to put them on a leash, so they cannot get out the door.
Everyone is learning to stay behind the gate and let me out first. I just tell them BACK (so they back up). Belles and Radar were bad at this. Belles still needs to learn to let me pass first. There are always opportunities with Cairns!
Maggie has one ear up and still one floppy ear. She is really working on getting her ear up before going home!
They do love to play with each other. After they get their last shots, they need to come into contact with other dogs. Training classes are a good way to socialize them. They really look forward to getting out of the house and seeing other dogs. Unfortunately, there seems to be some new dog flu which you need to read about or ask your vet. I'm going to do the same thing. I'll post some links on the blog - probably next week.
I will taking them for their shots this week! I will let you know how much the shots are and you can pay me when you pick them up.
I would really make sure I have a pen for them if you are working or out of the house for long periods of time. I have just had my cabinets repaired in my utility room and don't want any one chewing on them again. When you think you can trust them, you cannot. We left Flopsie (8 months) to go on a trip in the utility room with CoCo. When we returned, she had eaten through the cabinets! It seems she was very mad we left her!
We will be taking a ton of pictures this week! I hope to have some great pictures to share with you. This will be the first time I will take them outside due to weather conditions. I have some fun ideas for the pictures and hope the turn out well.
Now, I'm going to get back to my puppy manual I'm writing for you!
6:12PM - Zoey has been finding her voice! She was barking at the new toy I left in the utility room - The BIG GREEN EGG (will post video later tonight).
6:47PM - Zoey is barking again at the BIG GREEN EGG! Then, she starts attacking my boxes I put in the cabinet, so she couldn't climb in and eat my refurbished cabinets!
6:50PM - Maggie jumped up on the small gray plastic box to play with Sweetpea. She cannot figure out how to get down. Maggie is tilting her head with her one floppy ear when I take her picture! Too cute! We let her out to take a picture of her ears outside. Her first stop was to check out the food bowl! What a Cairn!!
7:45PM - Little Joe was getting after the rag bone I stuck in the pet fence! He was growling and talking to it! I do think he is tired of all these girls! I put him out in the kitchen floor with Belles for awhile.
9:14PM - Debra just left from her visit with Maggie. All puppies were picked up and loved! Debra was able to see Little Joe go and potty on the pad. I went to get the treat as I was telling him - Good Job Little Joe. Debra said he was running to the gate to get his treat! Good job Little Joe!!!
9:43PM - The wild children have been put to bed. They haven't gone to sleep. Maggie is licking Sweetpea's ear like crazy. Maggie is also pulling up he carpet which Debra and I just put in the pen!
When I returned, the kitchen was full of Cairns - large and small!

09-07-13 Happy 8 Week Birthday little puppies!
Wow - 8 weeks ago - on July 13, 2013 our cute little babies were born! I will be seeing some of you next weekend to pick up your puppies. We need to schedule your pick-up times!
The time had gone toooooo fast! I'm going to make the most of my last week with this litter!
7:00-9:00AM - Mommy got up and fed us in the utility room. We have played all over the utility room. We don't like Mommy to leave us in the utility room by ourselves, so we trap her. We all surround her feet. When we bit her toes, she gives us this sound. We know it means not to do it anymore. After one day, we know not to tug on her nightgown anymore. She says getting through the utility room in like walking through land mines because of all of us, our food dishes, and our toys! Mommy cleaned up our pen which was a disaster. Don't tell her we told, but she made a fatal mistake last night. She left the plastic draw bridge down, and we couldn't cross to the other side of our fence! So, we slept in one carpet side and pooped in the other side. We heard her tell us we were really good puppies and she couldn't believe there wasn't any poop on our potty side of the pen. Then, she realized what had happened! She cleaned up the pen - down to the sheets today.
For the pen, she puts down plastic first (like a thick shower curtain). She makes sure this is secured with blue painter's tape. Next, she puts down the potty pads. Then, she puts down an flat sheet with the fold on one side and the open side past the pen, so we cannot get between the sheets. She gets packing paper and puts it down. Then, we get our carpet on top of the paper in two areas of our pens. She just leaves the packing paper exposed on the potty side of the pen. She also recycles the paper from our play/sleeping area. We have a few puddles on that side, so it can be reused. She also wants us to smell the paper, so we know what side of the pen to sleep on!
Mom insisted on another bath. Zoey had very dirty front feet. Mom had to really wash between her toes and get the dried poop out between she pads on her feet. Dolly tried to climb out of the sink and washtub. Little Joe and Sweetpea were very good. And I tried to jump out of the sink! Mommy is very experienced and knows how to handle us in a sink. She suggests others wash their puppies in the dishpan in the tub - it is less risky! Since we are very quick puppies, you would never take your eyes off of us or we could break our necks jumping from the sink to the floor!
Now, we are clean and playing in our pens growling at each other! Zoey is really taking to the tennis ball! Mom inserted our rag bones in our play pen for us to pull on when we get bored. Another thing we do when we get bored is drink water. So, you know what that means!
Mommy put in the car last night for a ride, and I complained the whole way there because Zoey wasn't with me. Mom and I went over to visit my new mom Debra last night. It looks like I'm going to have a new sister - her name is Ester. She is a Siamese cat. I don't think she likes me. She threw many threats my way. Well, I just kept wagging my tail. Maybe, she will change her mind. If not, I heard Mommy Debra say, so would be spending more time outside! We did find out she knows the word treats and wanted some of mine! Maybe Mommy Debra will need to use our word - COOKIES! Mommy Debra was so excited to see me. Mommy ran around the island with me while Mommy Debra videoed the event. When I got back, I told all my sisters and brother where we went and what I did. Looks like like is going to be pretty exciting around there!
Mommy is going to let us watch Rick Steve's European Travels for part of our education today!
Well, it is really quiet in the kitchen now. Guess I better get back there and take my nap with the rest of the gang.
Mommy made us boxes to create a maze today! Mommy said I passed with flying colors. My hint to all puppies is to follow your nose! I just followed the treats and was able to go through the whole maize!
