“KERRY”
The moment that I saw her it was love at first sight,
The look in her eyes made the decision seem right.
Her AKC registration was simple and plain,
In honor of my father’s birthplace, “KERRY” was her name.
A Canine Good Citizen who was as “Good as Gold”,
A Pet Therapy Dog who serviced the young and the old.
Through the years she showed true to the breed,
With her gentleness and love with every good deed.
To everyone who knew her, this is what I say,
Remember my “Miss Kerry” for her gentle loving way.
The eyes of the pup that stole my heart,
Still stays in my soul never to depart.

Golden's Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
(After a VERY, VERY long walk with lots of birds, rabbits, squirrels
and even leaves to chase along the way. And please let there be sticks to carry. Lots of sticks.)
May the wind be always at your back.
(Especially if you have become wet from your swim on that
very, very long walk, however, wind on my front is also very nice.)
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
(You know we all enjoy this !! Makes us look even more
golden and settles us in for a nice nap after our very, very, very long walk.)
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
(Wet fields makes digging all the more fun on that very long
walk !!)
And until we meet again,
(You know I'll go CRAZY when I see ya sometime in the next ten minutes
~~ even though I've been with you all the way on that very, very, long walk.)
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
(Sounds good to me.)
