Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
snow-melt …
how clear a stream can flow
beneath our new-found bridges

We are beyond devastated to let you know that Pearl followed Eivor across the rainbow bridge this morning.
She took a bad turn yesterday afternoon with a racing heart and a high temperature and stayed at the vets overnight, where her condition initially became stable. This morning she took another bad turn and the vet said that the kindest thing was to let her go.
I spent an hour by her side before she slipped away and wished her the safest journey.
Pearl was the sweetest, bravest and cheekiest soul we were lucky enough to share so many wonderful years with in this life.
She and Eivor were inseparable and now they are together again.
I am taking a break from blogging on Whippet Wisdom for the moment and will post my haiku, haibun, tanka, and other poems and photographs on my nature blog, Tranature.
Thank you all for walking along with us here over the years. It has been a great pleasure to share the natural beauty as seen through the eyes of our beloved friends. Their spirit will always live on in our hearts.
Peace and blessings to you all and thank you for your friendship,
with love from Xenia xxx

First of all we want to say a warm-hearted thank you for all your heart-felt messages and condolences we received after Eivor’s passing. It means a lot and it is deeply moving how so many of you feel a connection to him and his amazing spirit. He looked at everything in life with love and I am sure he could feel the love you have for him and your own animal friends and companions too.
As promised yesterday, I am sharing a few more special moments from the last days of his life today and over the next few days.
We wish you all a blessed Thursday and a peaceful rest of the week,
with love from Pearl and Xenia xxx
