Whippet Wisdom – a Highland Journey
A journey through the seasons with two adopted whippets, a poet and a camera
the flow
of rock and turquoise waves
ocean’s beauty
between us on the shore
the memories keep growing

where comfort falls

Eivor and Pearl wanted to create this post for our blogging friend Bella and her family and the many others who lost their loved ones after they’d been given transfusions or products containing infected blood.
May the love and light of this world continue to wrap itself around all of you who need it at this time.
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx

from afar this light
finds her way through the trees
over and over
we pause in silence
breathing the spring air

celestial voices
crossing water
their talk of pine-clad mountains

For those of you who read last month’s post Helping the Hounds of Macau we are delighted that the last remaining greyhounds have left the Canidrome on 26th March and have safely arrived in their adoptive countries. We are especially happy to see that the older greyhounds, including 13-year old Astrid, have made it and are now settled in their forever homes.
It makes us very happy to know they have comfortable beds and are being loved and cared for in a way every dog deserves to be loved and cared for.
Our heart-felt thanks to Anima, GREY2K USA and Pet Levrieri for making this possible and to all the greyhound charities in Europe and the USA who have taken the greyhounds in and provided them with veterinary care, loving foster homes and forever homes.
A very big thank you to all of you who kindly shared the information and helped spread the word.
With love from Eivor, Pearl and Xenia xxx
