On December 9th, a Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, born on 10/10/07 and I travelled 200 miles from Fife to here. I've called her Ruah.
Rua(d)h in Gaelic is a reddish colour and a point or headland. Ruah is white and tan and our official postal address is Heron's Flight, Point, Plockton,
Ruah is also Hebrew for “spirit of the wind”. Well, she actually has a look of Dumbo, but I'll live in hope that she'll soon be flying along the length of our downstairs corridor and then tackle the front lawn!
Yarrow had a special name too – a wild flower or weed..... Yarrow came from Edinburgh Cat and Dog Home and we did not know if he'd be really good or not so good. He was the wild flower and very special, as he was Dolan’s too.
Ruah and I will do our best to keep the Heron's Flight tradition of special dogs going. It'll be a very different regime, with such a little dog and one that cannot roam the village at will. But Ruah will be hoping, as Yarrow always did, that our visitors will need a guide round the village, morning, noon or evening!
