Murph: His wagging tail. Every occasion is reason to celebrate. Get a drink of water, wag that tail. Toss some doggie cuss words towards the dog next door, wag that tail. Pee on a bush, wag that tail. I glance at him, wag that tail. Cairns just seem to have a very cheery, bright outlook on life. Focus on Toto in the Wizard of Oz sometime and you'll notice that Toto's tail is in perpetual motion all the time too. That's a Cairn.

Oz: Oh gosh where do I even begin with him. I honestly don't know if I'll ever be blessed again with such an incredible dog in my life. He is so smart, so intuitive, so loyal, so loving, so protective, so friendly, so just everything. He truly is about as close to having a "Lassie" dog as I'll ever get, I think.

Gull: Oh the laughter. Just everything about him is funny to me. The way he trots. The way he waves at me, when he knows he's in trouble. The way he noses me in the morning to wake me up. The way he slams open his crate door with his nose. The way he spins in a circle, swinging his toy in play. The way he runs through my legs, when he's excited. His old man groan, when he's drifting off to sleep. If he was a person, he'd be a Marx brother or Charlie Chaplin, because he just moves funny.
