How old is/was your cairn terrier?

Mine is 12 going on 5. He’s barked himself deaf and is still a stubborn as ever, but playful, loving and good company!

He had a stroke last year and has recovered well physically, but struggles with separation anxiety. He’s ok being left at home, but gets very sad if he’s anywhere else.

Apart from that we are putting a little amount of water on his dried food to help with his teeth.

Everyone he meets is gobsmacked he’s nearly 13! Here he is hard at while I wfh.

I had one who lived to nearly 17!

She was such a dear dog.

Current one is nearly 3.

He’s gorgeous 🥰
We had ours till he was nearly 16!! Lost him over 2 years ago now and I still miss him everyday.
Fantastic dog but very independent and stubborn 🤣

Our little cairn lived to 17 but she pretty much slept through her last year.
Fabulous little dog.

First one made it to 20.

Second one, we had to say goodbye to on Saturday at 14. Heartbroken. He had a host of issues and declined very rapidly.

Hug your boy.

Lost my Cairn six years ago at age 11 - she developed various health issues towards the end.

She was a very special dog and I still miss her Every Single Day.

Your little man looks adorable - give him a cuddle from me would you 🥰

Our neighbours had one who lived to 20 - he'd had two hip replacements 😂

Mine’s 12. Having a few issues with scratching (hence the haircut) but he’s still as playful as ever

Ours died suddenly with no warning at 9. We were so upset. Suspect it was a stroke

Mine has the same stripe after a haircut! I couldn’t find anyone to hand strip his coat, so he has clippers and is beautifully soft! In body and mind 😂😂

How upsetting for you. I really thought my boy was a goner after his, it was awful. You have my sympathies xx
