This is one of the last pictures of my "little" girl Cleopatra (Ms. Cleo or Momma wolf). She was born on November 25th 1999. Yep that's right a turkey baby! And was she ever a butterball! I had recovered her mother, Anna just a month or so earlier. I have recovered wolves for almost 30 years from people who think they make great pets....they don't. They make great children!
I was there when she was born and I held her as she took her first breaths, and I was holding her, muzzle to muzzle, as she took her last breath. On Friday December 12, 2014 I took my little girl to the vet. Her health had rapidly failed over the week and the night before I sat there and held her. The look on her muzzle and in her eyes said it was time. I was graced for 15 years with one of the best female wolves I have ever been privileged to care for.
She passed this world into Mothers loving paws as I put my forehead to hers and kissed her goodbye. The greatest joy is to be gifted with caring for a favored child of Mother....and the saddest duty is to help them go back to Her.
Play in peace.
