kerry blues and beckett

Samuel Beckett and one of his Kerry Blue Terriers.

Read more about Beckett and Kerry Blues at the web site for the Kerry Blue Terrier Foundation.

Read Krapp's Last Tape which includes this famous passage (here is part of it):

In the end I held it out to him and he took it in his mouth, gently, gently. A small, old, black, hard, solid rubber ball. (Pause.) I shall feel it, in my hand, until my dying day. (Pause.) I might have kept it. (Pause.) But I gave it to the dog.

This site has additional information on other famous people who have owned Kerry Blues.

NOTE: please contact the USKBTC for information. I think Kerry Blues are wonderful dogs but I don't know anything about them. I am interested in these dogs because of their connection to Samuel Beckett.
