CCTR’s Dog Tails of Summer – Edmund (NKA Wilson) – Adopted 5/26/2026

I remember being at Holden Beach on Easter weekend and seeing “Edmund’s” picture and bio on the Cairns & Cousins Website and thinking, “He would be a great fit for our family!” It had only been a little over 2 months since we lost our previous dog, Tucker – a 16 year old Cairn Terrier, but something kept pulling at my heart strings.

Two weeks later I submitted an application for Edmund and said a little prayer that if this was the right dog and the right time, everything would work out. After going through the application process, and being approved we found out Edmund had already been promised to another family. My heart sank. But after a turn of events, we learned that Edmund’s impending adoption didn’t work out and if me and my family were still interested, he could be ours! I knew right then, Tucker had played a part in sending us our next pup to love.

We picked up Wilson a few days later and he has seamlessly fallen into his rightful place in our family! We’ve had him less than a month, but you couldn’t tell based on the bonds we’ve already created with him! We’ve gone on our first family vacation to Lake Hickory, NC where our family has a cabin and learned that Wilson is a boat pup and definitely wants to try his hand at swimming and tubing!
