Memories of Wolfie
Wolfman, you took my heart. I will never be the same...

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Abandoned at a kill shelter after giving your family over 10 years of love...rescued by an angel in Connecticut who saved your life...placed with a woman who cruelly tied you to a post after 24 hours, left you there & called Animal Control...back with your Angel rescuer in Connecticut who had had sense enough to microchip you...the day they put you in my arms end of May 2008 I cried my heart out & vowed you would ALWAYS forevermore be loved---no matter what...prostate cancer...transitional cell carcinoma...Cushing's disease...congestive heart failure...kidney failure...Dr. Cerf's miracle on November 3, 2009...bought me a few more weeks of your love...esophageal cancer, lymphosarcoma...your little body just too tired to fight...we said goodbye Wednesday evening December 16, 2009 after I got there from class---I wanted you to bounce back again overnight so I thought the hospital was a safer place for you to be rather than home---I should have stayed with you...I prayed...it was not to be...I lost you at 8:45 AM en route to RVH today...Dr. Cerf was with you...I am so sorry I did not make it in time, so very sorry, please forgive me, I should have stayed with you my baby...I wouldn't have changed knowing you for the world...my life is better for having known you...rest-in-peace my little Boo...

"If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven..." James Thurber


"A dog is God's way of proving He doesn't want us to walk alone..."


"Gone yet not forgotten, although we are apart, God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart..."


i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go...i fear no fate...i want no world...and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant...and whatever a sun will always sing is you...here is the deepest secret nobody knows...here is...the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart...i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart) e. e. cummings


This note is for my AMAZING vet, Dr. Dean Cerf & all the staff at Ridgewood Veterinary Hospital: thank you for the unbelievable medical care and love you all gave to Wolfie. He would not have survived as long as he did without all of you.

If your baby has been stricken with bladder cancer (transitional cell carcinoma or TCC) and you have been told there is "no hope", I urge you to contact Dr. Dean Cerf at: http://www.ridgewoodvet.com/. There are not many vets like Dr. Cerf, a phenomenal surgeon who has pioneered the technique of laser surgery to ablate TCC tumors. His compassion for the senior furbabies of this world is also a trait that sets him apart from others. He believes that all animals deserve a chance to be helped, no matter how old or ill. The sign on his door reads: "The thing about miracles is that they happen...". I say that miracles happen BECAUSE of people like Dr. Cerf. As I have said to him many times...words cannot express...God Bless.

Well, my Baby Boy, you are home with me tonight. I went to pick up Scarlett, Shay & Boris and you were waiting there for me, too. So we all came home together. The folks at Abbey Glenn had your private ceremony on December 24, 2009...probably just as I was landing in Scotland. How I cried when I read the date of 12/24/09. Kathy said your last gift to me was to not let me see you go. I am so sorry I did not make it in time, my little man. You don't know how much that is breaking my heart.
Anyway, you are home now with me. I have your ashes in an Angel's Urn, just like Chloe's except yours is natural stone colored. You are with me in our favorite pink room where we spent many hours together. In a very strange way, I am glad you came home tonight because we can ring in the new year together.
Oh, how I hope that 2010 is better...have you met Farrah and Bea and Patrick & Michael & ...? Please watch over me & send me another sign that you are okay. Your mom is not doing so well. She misses you so. Well, my baby...Happy New Year...I carry you in my heart and I wear your collar/heart on my wrist. Did you know that you have come with me across the Atlantic to Belfast and Scotland and then back? Of course you did...you were with me all the time, weren't you, little Boo? Never forget how much I love you...until we meet again...may God keep you safe & may the Angels keep you warm my little one...

I Will Remember You
(John Wetton/Geoffe Downes)

Somewhere I'll see you again
These words are true
Inside I carry a flame
It burns for you

Sometimes I reach for you
But you're not there
The place you take me to
I know not where

In dreams, you come to me
I'm never free
For I know wherever I go, whatever I do,
I WILL REMEMBER YOU

Locked in my memory
Your silhouette
The only face I see
I can't forget

And if I should light a candle
For all the others I've known
No matter how I try
You're there before my eye
And the thought will never subside, forever
I WILL REMEMBER YOU

These streets and these houses
All of the places I've seen
If I run from you, no matter what I do
The fire will always survive
The embers are still alive, and
I WILL REMEMBER YOU

Dearest Little Prince, today marks your one month anniversary having left us to go to the Bridge. The day you left, you took my heart.

I remember the sunny day in late May 2008, Memorial Day weekend, Saturday. We got lost on Boston Post Road. But we found you. I'll never forget the moment Debbie put you in my arms. I was so overcome with emotion that all I could do was hold you & cry. Being able to write something original left me years ago, my little man. So I must resort to others who have the gift to express...this song is "Show Me"...this is everything I felt the day they put you in my arms---I asked a lot of you the day you rescued me and all the days we shared, didn't I? "YOU FOUND YOURSELF A HOPELESS CASE "...In the short time you blessed my life, you with "your innocence & grace, your angel face" did your best to oblige someone so "cold & grey", did your best to "keep the despair at bay" ...like the way your little right arm always went around my neck when I held you...rest in peace, little man... "Although we are apart, God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart"...may the angels keep you safe & warm...

SHOW ME THE MEANING OF THE WORD
'CAUSE I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT IT
THEY SAY YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT...

WELCOME TO THE HUMAN RACE
WITH ITS WARS, DISEASE AND BRUTALITY
YOU WITH YOUR INNOCENCE AND GRACE
RESTORE SOME PRIDE AND DIGNITY
TO A WORLD IN DECLINE


WELCOME TO A SPECIAL PLACE
IN A HEART OF STONE THAT'S COLD AND GREY
YOU WITH YOUR ANGEL FACE
KEEP THE DESPAIR AT BAY
SEND IT AWAY, AND...SHOW ME THE MEANING OF THE WORD...


WELCOME HERE FROM OUTER SPACE
THE MILKY WAY STILL IN YOUR EYES
YOU FOUND YOURSELF A HOPELESS CASE
ONE SEEKING PERFECTION ON EARTH
THAT'S SOME KIND OF REBIRTH, SO...SHOW ME THE MEANING OF THE WORD...I'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABOUT IT...I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT IT...

LAST NIGHT
I stood by your bed last night; I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying you found it hard to sleep.
I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.
I was with you at the shops today; your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today; you tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my paw on you; I smiled and said, "it's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out...then come home to be with me.

P.S. I got your signs last night..."Wolf cub" and "Wolfmother"...at 12:17 AM...I know you are beside me...

Dearest Wolfman, Beloved Little Prince, Happy Valentine's Day from your Mommy. You are missed so much I can't even describe it. There is not a day that goes by that you are not thought of with love. I carry you in my heart always...Be well, my little man...All My Love, Your Mommy

P.S. I got your signs today...Wolfeboro, NH & little Matilda who was left "tied to a post in the freezing cold somewhere around Thanksgiving"...I can't tell you how much you are missed, my little man...
