In Memory of Easter Lily

Butch and Jani Wilson's precious Lily has gone to Rainbow Bridge, after a rich life of fun and love for almost 18 years. Here are some of their memories of Lily.

Easter Lily ”She’s a Dilly”

Jan. 3, 1992 - Sept. 2, 2009

Lily was our “vintage Cairn” and passionate about guarding her family and territory. Lily was a dedicated huntress too and she had an unmatched work ethic. Lily never clocked out! We will miss your leg kisses and your “little sergeant” demeanor. It warmed our hearts; and kept us in line at the same time!

We love you Lily and are grateful for your unconditional love and so much fun for almost 18 years!

Your family ~ Butch, Jani & Riley

A Final Salute to Captain Hercules

He sailed the ocean blue, cruising the California coast. If you came upon the ship, you would see him standing lookout. Captain Hercules was in charge, in command of all he surveyed and ever vigilant for action.

Owner Evans Hughes Jr. got Capt. Hercules a life vest because he found out early that the Cairn liked the water and would jump in to pursue small fish and even ducks.

The renowned Cairn sailer has now passed over the Rainbow Bridge. All who met him on his voyage, or heard about his exploits, salute him.

Is it your Cairn's birthday? Can we pay tribute to your special little guy? Do you have a photo or news to share, whether it is large or small? Please send your brags, new puppy photos, notes on passing, pics or just general Cairn info to ernieslone@gmail.com.
