Saying Good-Bye

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I must tell you that our beloved furry friend, Vangogh, has gone to join the big pack in the sky. He was a lovely animal that enjoyed guarding his water bowl, and that I miss the most. I miss seeing Vangogh on my way home at night, but I am glad that he went so quickly and peacefully. The other volunteers miss Vangogh barking and watching us from his enclosure, and him chasing them around the enclosure bothering them for more food. He was quite a little bathtub with feet, needless to say he was not starved. Waya, who was Vangogh's mate, is very saddened by his passing. Since he has left us, she has been very skiddish and easily scared. We are hopeing that she will not be heartbroken for very long, but she has all the time she needs. Many of the volunteers' go to see her, just to try and make her feel better, but it seems as if it would be better if we left her alone to grieve. Waya's picture is to the right.

Once again, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but our beautiful wolf-dog, Rain has lost half of her left ear about a week ago. Apparently she was fence-fighting with her new neighbors and they got a lucky bite in during the fight. Her ear was found in the neighboring pen. Even though she has lost part of her ear, she is just as beautiful as she was before. I do not have any after pictures, but Rain's picture is at the bottom of the blog.
