The Kerry Ride…
This post may interest the mechanics amongst us. Speaking for myself, I love a good man who can do stuff. On December 20, 2012 I brought home my very-own cargo van, which thanks to Vilavanh Thipphavong of Alaska Sales & Service was special-ordered to my specifications. And from there Mark has made some truly remarkable […]Archives

I Have a Dream…
…Please may there be one sacred community that ascends politics… Let it start with us; those who know first hand the grace of the Kerry Blue Terrier. We could be as awesome as our dogs! …Sure, we can get on our toes and spar… But in the end, let us model good kerry […]Archives

Can I have Peace?……..
Peace comes from within, so I can’t speak to yours. But when set off-balance, mine is quickly restored by taking stock of my own simple life. If I have nothing else, I have peace…. Yes, it’s worth everything else. .Archives

Spring in Alaska
Our Kerry pack had the best romp today. We took the long retractable leashes, and I’m sure the two tripled my mileage. I got dizzy at the chase circle as it took Stirling at least 4 rounds to catch Aoife. Aoife is a power house when it comes to athletic sprinting. Stirling is no […]Archives

Embracing Change…
My interest in Stirling had started several years before with a trip to the midwest to pick up my first sweet Kerry, Aoife. I had decided upon Aoife before realizing there were plans in the make to breed Stirling’s grandfather Brogan. Now Brogan was a handsome silver stud that melted my heart from the first […]Archives

Why Test…
I have been impatiently waiting for the results of Stirling’s PennHIP & DNA tests, even though I have anticipated the return of normal results. Patience has never been my strongest suit, so once I have asked those questions I am dying for the answers. That is just me being me. Now the results are starting […]Archives

Learning it for myself…
So I returned from Florida to Alaska full of inspiration. But I had to return to work; Kill-joy… Okay that being said, I got this big idea to research the foundational breeding lines of Kerries. It may not surprise you that I only just got started when I got completely sidetracked on another important mission, which […]Archives

Reflections…
The trip to Florida was worth every penny and minute expended. I’ve learned to accept defeat with grace. And I’ve seen how to win with humility; though I may not always choose to strictly abide by that knowledge. Any little victory screech may be totally unnecessary; …or is it?!? [wink] …More importantly, I had the […]Archives

We Haven’t Been Winning…
Discouraged? Heck no! I’m obviously no judge, nor a professional handler; but every time I pull out that show lead Stirling gets psyched, and looks me square in the eye. At 18.75″ Stirling is near-ideal size, which seems to run small these days. But he doesn’t think so, and there’s no telling him otherwise. He’s […]Archives

What Are We Do’n?
“The important thing in life is not to triumph but to compete.” -Pierre de Coubertin Sunday Morning: 6:30AM, January 5th …After hours of near-sleepless travel our Kerry Pack made its way into the Orlando International Airport (MCO). All things considered, the trip had been uneventful with a bit of rough turbulence at the […]Archives
