Finally made it to the Dubuque shelter. Kristy, the shelter manager at Cedar Bend Humane Society was there, along with another employee of the shelter, Carla.
Carla holds Bernie; Kristy, Skippy & Molly
Mom was happy to meet Kristy whom she has gotten to know because she calls Mom whenever they get a Cairn (Buddy, Pepper, Scrappy, Chelsea & Charlie all came from this shelter).
Bernie is such a small Cairn . . . much smaller than Molly & I. He's just nine pounds. But boy, try telling HIM that! He thinks he's a St. Bernard, so he's a little unruly but very fun-loving. He's a scruffy little guy and his coat is very matted but we'll get him pretty.
The three of us got to know each other at the little dog park next to the shelter. I had to set Bernie straight a couple of times, but "my house . . . my rules".
