Our home is on a hill just at the edge of town. We own nearly an acre and have an abundance of trees and wildlife.

We have inside/outside kennel runs attached to the grooming room which is connected to the house.
The Cairns can come inside if the weather is too bad. This area is heated in winter.

We also have a large chain link-fenced area attached to a small barn with inside pens. The dogs have access to the pens at all times when they are out there. In the summertime they run and enjoy life under shady trees and sleep on the soft green grass. This grass was once very pleasing to the eye but now it looks as if gophers have joined the Cairns, making holes here and there. It couldn’t possibly be those dear little Cairns digging, could it?

There is a nice assortment of wildlife to keep the dogs happy. My husband has built a waterwheel and miniature millhouse where the water flows from the wheel into a small stream and then into a pond. The water brings the birds that are a joy to watch as they come to drink and bathe, along with squirrels, raccoons, and the occasional fox.
