Let me tell you how our rescue Kerry Duffy girl rescued me.

I suffer from SAD. Seasonal Affective Disorder…

 
Duffy

Duffy

 

This is what I wrote, 6 months into our rescue of Duffy from Dec of 2017:

“Let me tell you how our rescue Kerry Duffy girl rescued me. I suffer from SAD. Seasonal Affective Disorder. I call it the Black Hole of Inability & Dread. Last winter I had a particularly difficult time and only barely clung to sanity by my fingertips with meds and a therapy light and a supportive loving husband sending me daily messages of light and upliftment. Oh, and a demanding calling in my Church.

We got our Duffy girl on last December 8th. (2017) I have been going along functioning as a person, not even realizing how much better my winter has been so far, until I realized the other day that the only difference has been this cheerful adoring sprightly magical naughty stubborn sweet loyal soul that greets me every morning and if I sleep too late paws at my door and whimpers because she wants to see my face and snuggle. There is no drug, no therapy that can match what she has done for me this winter. It is quite surprising and miraculous.

Now an update: We lost out sweetheart Nov 16th 2020, to kidney failure. We have been heartbroken ever since. 💔 “

We are honored to share the love of all KBT owners in memory of their Kerry Blue Terrier. As stated, all members of the Foundation donate their time and love to doing their jobs. No one is paid. ALL donations are used by the foundation for rescue, medical care, transportation, and rehoming or caring for them if they cannot be rehomed. Kerry Blue Terriers are very intelligent and very protective of their families. They would give their life to defend and protect those families.

We will make sure you get a receipt for donations given by Miss Georgia, our treasurer. We are feeling blessed by your love for our furry babies!

From their distinctive bark to alert us, to “argh argh argh” speech letting us know they are talking .. are we listening, to the sweet snuggles they scoot in and give us… our Kerry Blues are not just part of our lives, our homes and our hearts, they with us forever.

14 July 2020

Clyde came to us as a result of the Shelbina Rescue in March of 2006. He was #126.

Clyde was a scrawny 9 month old Kerry Blue Terrier pup with a tail docked too short and chronic dry eye from the filthy, abusive conditions at the puppy mill. He soon adjusted to family life always with his female Kerries, Bonnie and now Mattie, by his side.

He lived a long, happy life filled with love, devotion and many adventures; always full of gratitude for having a forever home. We are so blessed to have had Clyde in our lives. We miss him. Thank you, Kerry Blue Foundation, for the work you do for these wonderful dogs.

Pace's Padraig of Eidenbock aka Paddy

Born in Feb of 2005, Paddy, aka the son of Eidenbock Commander and Chief GW from Helen Eidenbock, arrived in

Paddy at age 13 in the spring. We lost him almost a year later.

Paddy at age 13 in the spring. We lost him almost a year later.

Born in Feb of 2005, Paddy, aka the son of Eidenbock Commander and Chief GW from Helen Eidenbock, arrived in Dallas as a wee pup of 4 months . He was a rascal as he arrived, always challenging us and the world around us. He was PURE PADDY … PURE TERRIER. His Aunt aka Annie 1 , which we rescued (by blood) was a four year old from Helen as well. Annie did not let up on him as a small puppy, she was the ruler of the house …and remained so as he grew to be her ‘counter male A’. We had purchased Paddy to be a show dog. We had Kerry Blues mostly over the years. He was asked to leave Puppy Training at Petsmart and we should have known then, he was a fighter.

Paddy was NOT a show dog. He was handsome as a male Kerry could be, but he weighed in at 65 pounds and was about 5 inches taller than all the other Kerry Blues. At age 2 they told us there was no hope for him to be shown for any reason. This was probably something wise because he was a ‘fighter’ and eager for confrontation with any other animal in the animal kingdom… feral cats, raccoons, snakes, other dogs and cats, squirrels and bob cats…. oh and the elusive fox. The Raccoon looked pretty shocked wrapped around Paddys head like a beard hanging down. He never came in the yard ever again.

We were encouraged to put him down as aggressive as he was with other animals. But he never had issues with children or adults. By age two, we loved him too much to even consider it, and although it put us open for problems if he ever escaped our yard (which did happen)… we were just slightly behind him running or in a vehicle. We kept him close and safe all of his life. And we loved him passionately. He was loyal, loving, intelligent and incredibly funny at times. He was our protector always. When unannounced people came to the door, he stood up growling and barking looking over 6 ft tall through the glass.

He smiled all the time as you can see by the photo above… and he loved us back as fiercely as we loved him. Helen Eiden thank you for our oversized Kerry with the huge heart. He was a ‘see-er’ as I walked morning and night with him, together we would watch the sun rise and the sun set every night. He was my best friend. He is missed sorely. He was my first dog, and a wonderful Kerry Blue.

Miss you Paddy Dog. And so do all the grandchildren and so does your Mama (Laurie) and your human brothers and sisters, Stacey, Morgan and Justin.
