Don't worry Billy. I may be incompetent but I'm even lazier. Your coat is safe from me.

I'm a menace with finger cots and stripping knife 😨

Personally I'm slightly afraid of hot curling irons 😆

Surprisingly gentle way to shave. Does not reward inattention, though.

Something about a 200 year old razor nudges a morning routine into the realm of reverie. Respect to the makers of Sheffield.

On a gray microfiber towel a straight razor with blade open about 45 degrees leans next to a bottle of aftershave and a jar of shave soap. A shave brush rests bristles-up in a green Wade ceramic pipe rest that features a brown Cairn Terrier.

Aw thanks. Wish I could somehow catch a video when one of them is tilting back and forth like a clockwork. Any move for the phone breaks the spell it seems.

Cairnish @bradl.cairn.social · 4d

Why is it that the head tilt is one my favorite things yet I am rubbish at ever getting a good photo of one? Best I can find ...
Echo with the patience of a saint (see look on Stella) and our grand old man Haggis giving a bit of the charm.

Without Cairns I'm not entirely sure I would be alive today. Now they are helping me once again. They are a lesson and a lifeline. Take comfort, keep Cairn and carry on I guess.

If you do obedience you might chuckle at Stella completing her Broad Jump with an anti-clockwise twirl before fronting. She did it this way 100% of the time her entire life. Left-pawed, I guess. One judge said, "You could train that out, but why? (Bonus Airedale)

A Cairn Terrier sits in the right front seat of a green John Deere Gator. The vehicle is on pasture grass passing through cattle fencing toward a house in the distance. There are hay bales in the bed of the Gator. A man in a hat, holding a clipboard, holds the gate open.

I recently submitted a Letter to the Editor to my city’s newspaper, making the case for supporting active infrastructure within their 300-word limit.

My hope was simple. If just one person sees this topic in a new way, it’s worth it. And I’d encourage other advocates to do the same where they live.

Dundee in black and white. Not much of a stretch really as he's pretty much already black and, well, silver. #TerrierTuesday #cairnterrier #dogsofbluesky

An alert Cairn Terrier stands on a gray sofa peering offscreen to the left. The dog is predominantly black but with silver shot through his face and jacket coat. His chest is an expanse of silver and white. In the background, out of focus, are some prints hanging on a wall.

Dundee is still rather compact, but he was once very very smol.

A meme of cartoon dog and boy in front of a machine. Mr Peabody is saying "Set the Wayback Machine to 2010 Sherman" and the cartoon boy replies "Where are we going Mr Peabody?"

A wee cairn terrier puppy sits in dirt and grass, looking up at the viewer. His expression is comically serious.

So you've tried to read a book too, eh? Good luck!

A dark brindle Cairn Terrier sits tidily next to a cement Cairn statuette, in the same pose. They are sitting on grass in front of a rose bush, along an overgrown stone path.

Apparently she did it more than once but couldn't figure out how to get down. OK tiger, now what?

The Princess and the Pea, aka Echo. The Great Escape. Not my dog but a relative at the breeder's. If a dog will climb there's no stopping them. #OnHigherGround #TerrierTuesday

Whatever the weather most of the best times happen outside. Stella, Griffin, and slightly soggy but otherwise happy hitching post. #TerrierTuesday #cairnterrier #dogsofbluesky

A man in a rain jacket and hat holds two leashes, a Cairn Terrier at the end of each, all looking back at the photographer. They stand next to a very large roll of hay resting in a foggy, misty field. Tall evergreen trees are visible in the distance look like they are dancing in the wind.

Sheer luxury my friend. My regret is that I waited until I retired to start.

A blur that tears me up every time. Somehow that tail blur captures the very essence of Stella in the obedience ring. With laughter and love, life is a blur.
