More from Jagdwolf
Name: Dawrin
Born: Dec. 7,2000
Died: Dec. 22. 2009
Darwin was 100% Canadian Timber wolf, who when I first saw him would fit in the palm of my paw. In Feb. of 2007 he had a stroke, but fully recovered and become more puppy like than he was as a puppy!
He had a stoke again last week, and on thursday, I opened the pens to he and his mate out and he walked up the road to the front door and sat down. He moved about the house on Friday and part of Saturday. In the evening he laid down and never walked again having lost the use of his hind legs.
When it was obvious that he would not survive, I called the vet today and asked her to come out and at about 4:30 December 22, 2009, I held my little boy (he was down to 135#'s) as he took his last breath and slipped into eternal happiness.
I will never forget one of the best, sweetest, kindest, most loving and happest wolves I have ever had the privilage of sharing this journey we call life. He will be missed, but will never be forgotten.
Rest well son.

I brought his mate Cleo in and one of his two pups. The both got to say good bye with muzzle licks and nuzzles. They knew it was over, im a mess at the moment, be only to myself, my adopted son had never seen a loss, but he got to say good bye as well as my wife did. Darwin loved the two of the deeply esp. my son and he got to have his family with him as he left us. Its hardest on me because they only got to know him for a few years, but I was dad. thanks for the thoughts very kind of you.
A soul may shed it's body, but it's never really gone if it is alive in the hearts of those that loved them. If they were loved, they will wait in their next life for you and greet you with open arms when you see them again. *hugs* I am truly sorry for your loss sweetheart...
Many a family broght there young children out to see mine. Darwin by far was the biggest and could have been the most scarry, yet he loved everyone, even the very little children who got to actually hug and get kissed by a real wolf. He touched so many lives in his short time on this blue ball. He was beautiful in more ways than one will ever know. thank you for the thoughts.
Poor dear.
I am sure that he is much happier now that he is no longer in any kind of pain. Still, it is always hard to lose someone, animal or otherwise, and I do send my condolences. I know he will be missed and I hope that you know that I am thinking of both you and him at this time.
May Darwin rest easy and you as well, for you will see him again. I'm sure of it :)

I can say the same cause some of the happiest moments were spent with him. I have apix of him that I will scan, taken on the day Tecumseh and Libberty were born. once you see it you will never doubt that wolves really do know when things happen. He was a happy and proud poppa. Thank you for you kind words.
I have more, some good some bad, there are days however, I wished I could just plug my mind in and download the full measure of what Darwin really was. He was named so aptly, after Charles Darwin. My son challeneged the know perseptions of what a wolf is. He showed so many over his 9 years that though he could be absolutly the classic wolf, but he could also show you what a wolf really is.
A friend, a brother, a son, a family member. Of those who got to meet him and saw him interact with me, I have no doubt would tell you that my son knew he was a wolf, and that he was happy.
More pix to come.

When we lose our children, be them of our flesh and blood or be them our animal children, NOT our pets, one can only cry. I cried as if I had never lost anything and made the comment that after 30 years of recovering wolves and watching them leave this world one would think it would be easy.
And of all people, the vet, who had never worked with a wolf, simply said, as if Darwin was her son,
"it is never easy when you truely love and are truely loved."
I know I was truely loved by Darwin.

What a beautiful creature he was! He looked almost husky-like with those gorgeous face markings <3
I can't say I know how you feel, as I'm sure it's different to losing a regular pet. Not that I've ever had a dog that I can remember, heheh. Bless his soul, though. It sounds like you two had a wonderful family relationship. <3

I have always seen myself as a wolf, but of all the ones I have rescued over the years, he taught me more about being a wolf. I hope where ever his spirit may travel that it will be on a path that he will enjoy and should he cross mine while I am still here, I hope he gives me a kiss again.
I can imagine your pain... I had not lost a pet till recently, when suddenly both my birds that I had trained for 7 months non stop died within a week of each other. I cant barely even look at the cage without feeling that pang of them not chirping or hopping around all silly like now.
