June…..What an exciting month! Lots of shows and some good results. But the best
time was when we went to a seaside place in Conneticut called Norwalk. It was
for a specialty show held by Ilene’s club the Housatonic Cairn Terrier Club
of America. When we entered the ring
I saw lots folks watching , I think we both looked very smart (Stacy looked
lovely in a spotted frock) but then I saw a lady with a large sun hat taking
my photo & filming me all the time, I was sure I knew her………. Anyhow
after judging (we had a good result with Select Dog) Ilene came over with the
lady in the big hat and the penny dropped….It was My UK Mum Brenda!!!!! We
had lots of cuddles and catch up – The next day
we went back to the same place, so I was looking for Brenda again, I spotted
her and we had lots more catch up time. |

Who’s that lady Stacy? |
Don’t we look smart!
(Is this my best side Stacy?) |

|
I’m sure she here again Stacy! |
Kiss time… |
Cuddle time… |

|
May – Wooooopee… Just found out Brenda is
coming out to see me in June…. |
Apparently she is coming with her big sister
Carol. They are going to hit New York for a couple of days, then over to
Connecticut to see me at The Housatonic 40th Anniversary
Show. Ilene has promised me she will
look after them. |

was made Select dog under Iain Shaw who had come all the way from Scotland to
Judge in Maryland. This made me a Grand Champion, from now on
My title will be GCH Brenndarcy Borgen. The day after
I showed under US judge Joe Vernuccio and was given Award Of Merit. - It was Bren’s 60 Birthday on the 17th
she was so pleased for me, what a lovely present for her! |

12th December. Its my birthday today - Still feeling a little homesick, but Ilene
has bought me a toy to cheer me up. I think we might have something special
for tea too. |
It's nearly Christmas so I
helped Ilene trim the tree today. |

I woke up with a jolt from my long sleep and felt my ears hurting.
The plane was coming down. Luckily as I was last on the plane, I was first
off and my Crate was picked up on it’s pallet and driven to the arrivals
lounge. All I could see were bright lights and hear two ladies talking to
someone about my papers. After a short while they had
me in my crate, they opened the door and tried to coax me out. After a bit of smooth talking I emerged
and was picked up by Ilene who gave me a cuddle and seemed very happy to see
me. She handed me over to her friend Lois (whom I had also met at the
symposium) whilst she rang Brenda and Danny to tell them I was here in the
USA safe and sound. |

Monday
Morning 9th December 2013 |
Up at 3am this morning,
Danny took me for my favourite walk down the country lane. Brenda seemed a
bit upset. Then we set of in the car to Manchester. I sat on Brenda's Knee in
the front. At Manchester Airport they said goodbye and left me in room 007
Cargo office with a very nice chap.
Next thing I am in that crate again which was then strapped to a
pallet and loaded onto an Aeroplane! I had very comfy bedding, plenty of
water but no food. I was a little
frightened at first but decided to try have a sleep. I wondered if Danny & Brenda knew what was
happening to me!! |

October - November 2013 Huddersfield UK |
Brenda is talking via email and telephone to a
lady called Ilene Kaplan in the USA. We
met her at the World Cairn Symposium In August. After big discussions with Danny and advice
from friends they have decided I can go on a long holiday to see Ilene. Because of this I have been having to go to
the Vets for blood tests and inoculations etc. Apparently I have passed A1. |
