Opie & Cassie

Buh, nah-ner na bump …I’ve got the Kerry Blues…buh nah-ner na bump.  Aren’t you glad I went into photography instead of music?  Or comedy?  Anyway, the two adorables below are Kerry Blue Terriers.  And both rescues, I might add.  Yay for rescues!  This duo, for example, came from two different rescues: www.KerryBlues.info and USKBTC.   I’m always telling people, you want a purebred?  There’s a resuce for that. So, without no further ado, allow me to introduce…

OPIE

Opie is the sweetest little muffin.  A kind and gentle soul, full of love and peace.  Truly, he is.  He looked at me with those quiet little eyes when I walked into his house, padding up ever so quietly and I needed a tissue to dab at my heart.  He’s a wonderful little dude.

Opie is a former puppy mill tenant who, although not previously cared for properly, was lucky enough to get discovered and rescued.  He now enjoys proper treatment and spoiling as he’s a very special little boy.

Opie is also a reason this job can be difficult for me.  He, like many beloved animals has developed a form of terminal cancer.  (The lump in my throat is appearing, just typing this.)  It is never easy, but I can say one thing for sure…he is lucky enough to have found a home with more love than you can imagine and to have spent a few hours with him, I feel quite honored.  He is simply adorable.

CASSIE

Cassie is the adoring adopted sister of Opie.  They really are two peas in a curly-furred pod.  The just love each other’s company and compliment each other so nicely.  You see, whereas Opie is quiet and pondering …Cassie is the intensely driven, attention-getting, if-you-have-it-I-want-it ying to his yang.  Her nickname is “Bottle Rocket”.  ;-)

She too was rescued from a neglectful and possibly abusive situation by police and the humane society.  She’s incredibly charming and absolutely adorable!  She takes everything from Opie and he totally lets her.  She’s the boss and he’s perfectly okay with that.  It’s so funny though.  Treats?  Forget, she’s all over it.  He’ll drop them for her if she hasn’t already taken them out of his mouth. ;-)   And if you even think about petting Opie, she’s right under your hand, making sure all the attention is concentrated to her, thank you very much ;-)

I had a really great time with these two.  They are the perfect couple and lovely companions!
