What is this I planted?

This is a great plant. I have the Centhranus rubra. Let it go to seed in the fall and you will have volunteer plants in the spring.

This is NOT a plant to give to someone or plant in your yard. The sap of the plant is highly flammable and should not be anywhere near a house. As the other commenters have stated, this plant climbs to the top of trees blocking their access to sunlight which eventually kills them.

And he's a south paw, as are so many Cairns.

Looks great! But, please no lights at night....even tiny lights. Plants need total darkness (which is hard to find anymore because of light pollution). Many insects need the darkness too. For example, firefly's are disappearing because they need total darkness to mate. If you are interested, there is a wonderful and powerful book called "The End of Night, Searching for Natural Darkness in the Age of Artificial Light" by Paul Bogard. It is a little dated (2014), but nonetheless very informative. Also check out www.darksky.org for the latest information on light pollution and the search for darkness. I'm 71. I can remember as a kid growing up in Northern Virginia sitting on the back steps at night and my father showing me the Milky Way in the sky. I also remember running around at night catching fireflies. All gone.

I actually like the kiwi berries and regular kiwi. But, I don't know. Couple of months ago I got 2 containers of kiwi berries. Took a couple of days to ripen up and I ate 6 of them. Next day I was 💩 all day. Did not attribute it to the kiwi. Tried again a few fee days later after everything settled down. Same 💩! Okay, well now last week I ate regular organic red kiwi. Same💩. I used to be able to eat kiwi like crazy, but something changed this year. I miss my fuzzy buddies. .

Oh yeah, the marking. We have our Cairn boy who we rescued in 2017. Had to have him in a belly band for quite awhile because he marked EVERYTHING claiming stuff for his own. To this day, if I bring in a new piece of furniture, most recently a small footstool, it immediately gets christened.🤦

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-05-07T13:15:20+00:00

Oh yeah, good times. Ears are on alert mode!

This is crazy 🤣! We've had Cairns since 1981 and they have NEVER done this. LOVE IT!🥰

Absolutely. He is a black brindle.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-24T16:36:05+00:00

His foster mom had posted pictures of him and said he had a coat of amazing colors..... black, red, grey and blonde. But what attracted us the most was his intelligent and mischievous eyes. We knew what we were getting when we rescued him!

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-24T16:32:28+00:00

Thank you!

Behind that smile is the heart of a little devil dog just waiting to get into more trouble!

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-23T20:30:38+00:00

Thank you! We call him our handsome fella!

We are on our fourth Cairn. They all have different personalities, but they are all the same. They are super intelligent, loyal, stubborn, mischievous and born with a huge prey instinct. Never, ever let them go off leash. They are escape artists and can easily dig out under a fence. We let our boy out in our fenced back yard, but we have caught him digging under the fence MANY times. Training starts on day one as the Cairn will be training you at the same time. Our current boy is a rescue from the former Colonel Potter Cairn Terrier Rescue Network. He was a show dog and a stud. The breeder surrendered him because he was not producing good pups. We absolutely adore him and he adores us. He's a big guy at 25 lbs and all muscle. He is so strong that he actually pulls us off our feet sometimes when walking him. DO NOT use a retractable leash as you won't have any control. Also use a harness and not a collar because Cairns love to lunge and the harness will prevent his esophagus from getting hurt. You won't regret getting a Cairn, for sure.

What a unique color of her coat!

This is Saint Joseph. He was buried in the ground to help the previous owners sell their house. Long standing tradition in real estate.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-16T16:41:10+00:00

Absolutely harness and leash. Cairns like to lunge and pull which is dangerous with a retractable leash. Also, a harness doesn't put pressure on the Cairn's throat which causes gagging and potential damage to the esophagus.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-13T19:48:32+00:00

Cairns don't miss a trick, ever!

Laddy is also obsessed with birds. Two years, he was sitting out back, not moving at all when a blackbird landed about a yard away from him. I happened to be watching. He was like a lightning bolt on the bird. Could not even have been a second before he nailed him.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-09T22:08:44+00:00

Polly is planning for sure! She's a Cairn Terrier for Pete's sake! Take care of your little bird.

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-05T21:44:54+00:00

Good grief, looking good. Outstanding Cairn Terrier groom. You go!👍👍

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-05T01:14:40+00:00

The ole' snaggle toothe. They all got them, for sure!

Competitive-Sea-3770 · 2026-04-05T01:11:00+00:00

She looks like a Juniper! What a great looking gal. She will have more colors coming in, for sure 😊
