Fiona Bonnie Heather Nairne

Fiona, fair beauty, fleet footed and fancy free,
Flits over the field,
Full of life and fun, a joy to see.
 
She’s my Bonnie canine, sweet and good,
Loving and loyal, a regal golden,
Her tail held high, 'til coursing the woods.
 
Wild is my Heather as her namesake flower on the hill,
Pursuing bunnies, squirrels and birds,
Though only for the chase’s thrill.
 
Nairne, in Gaelic means “dweller by the narrow river glen,”
Which is she, when resting from her adventures now and then.
 
Oh, Fi, my darling girl,
How you’ve blessed my life and set it in a whirl!

Thank you Ezer. FIona lived to 11 1/2 years, always full of fun and joy but the last four years we worked together to keep her going with kidney disease. She had a powerful spirit!
