Hydra

HYDRA
January 28, 2009 – May 25, 2010

Dogs with Wings staff, volunteers and Crestwood Veterinary staff are mourning the loss of our beloved, Hydra. Hydra was put to sleep on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 25, 2010 due to liver disease. Hydra charmed people with her expressive brown eyes and wrinkly brow. No matter how ill she was feeling the opportunity for a run in the field with her doggie friends always lifted her spirits. We will relish the precious happy moments we witnessed and shared with our Hydra. Our greatest wish for her now is that she is running hard, resting comfortably and is at peace with her momma, Libby, in doggie Heaven. Good bye Hydra, your love and spirit have created many kindred spirits. We love you.

I had the special honor of working with Hydra as my designated dog to train when she moved into the adult program in February. Our moments together were too short. Thank-you Hydra for loving me back. I miss you.

Puppy Blossoms

By Shannon Northcott

You were given a seedling for one year to foster and help grow. Most seed packets come with instructions, but instead they told you they would help cultivate the young life in your care and one year later, when it blossomed you would give it back. They were looking for an extraordinary flower and only that type could do. You knew the standards were high, but felt the odds were favourable.

Roses, Baby’s Breath and Forget-Me-Not's mean love, but wouldn’t do.

Marigolds are comforts of the heart, and Junipers symbolize protection.

Ivy represents friendship; Lilies and Orchids, beauty; and the Daisy innocence.

Although these flowers would bring joy and love to the lives they touched, they couldn't do the job.

You doted over the life in your care, nurtured and helped it to grow.

Just before it blossomed, they tested the flower that was going to open. They said you did your job well and that it wasn’t your fault but this flower doesn't fit here.

There are many bouquet's of extraordinary flowers, and as much as you wanted your flower to belong there to, it does not.

Your flower will bloom because of your love, patience and guidance. This precious blossom belongs to the many beautiful bouquets of love, comfort, friendship, beauty and innocence.
