Behind the Name

Whinnie Gordon

2005-2019

Whinnie Gordon was born in Bowling Green, KY in 2005. Just like her human sisters, she was independent, full of personality, and loved the sun. Her kind spirit always welcomed visitors, although everyone knew who ruled the roost. On occasion she would snuggle in our laps, but she was never one to beg for attention. Her special bond with our father didn’t distract her from showing love to everyone in the family, including distant relatives who only visited once or twice a year. She was more than just a pet, and we cherished our time with her before she gained her wings. I’m sure she’s somewhere playing with a tennis ball or rolling in the snow, and I sure hope someone spoils her every now and then with a drop of bacon grease.
