10 orange hearts fly away
Today we held Wolfie’s ceremony on the levee, which was dog gone hard to get to as the New Orleans Ironman was in full thrust as we were trying to drive down Marconi, so we had to take a detour. Toby, savior of 600 German Shepherds, joined us and read Mary Morris’ Missing: A Dog’s Doggerel and brought poppies and roses from her garden, we brought Wolfie’s ashes, ten orange balloons in the shape of a heart, one white star balloon for Tin, and Loca and Heidi.
Wolfie was a special dog – she expanded our hearts when we thought we didn’t have room for one more, she showed me that offering service to those in need rewards you with more than you expend, and she also was a reminder that life is short but wide, and love does not carry the physical boundaries of time, it’s endless, timeless, and plentiful.
Long may you do the cat dance Wolfie:
