We are sad to report that Segoni has walked the Rainbow Bridge earlier this afternoon. Our loss is Tragic. Please refrain from contacting Tonya or the Sanctuary for a few days out of respect so we can mourn. Segoni was our Alpha Male of the entire pack. He was 16 year old. His Spirit was strong but his earthly body was tired and old and his back legs became paralyzed a month ago. We kept him in comfort but it was not a good life for him any longer. Please pray for Segoni tonight, pray for Tonya (her loss is so severe), pray for the staff and friends of WMS, and pray for the wolves that are mourning his loss. Rejoice in the knowledge that Segoni is young again, his legs are strong and he can run again and be the Alpha of his pack mates Apache Moon, his brother Dakota, Durango, Sedona, Tamaka, Niosha, Mishomi, Gabrielle, Sweet Cheyenne, Little Takoda and many others that are in the Sky with him. Be happy that he will look down and watch over all of us from the Sky. Be Happy that he will greet us all with the whole pack when our journey on Earth ends. Thank you for your support during this tragic time. We love you all.
Our little Ambassador is with the sky people.
We found out that Takoda had glass bones. His little bones kept breaking.
He took his last breath during a procedure to put a cast on. He did not wake
from the anesthesia.
Tonya is devastated, she is not taking calls at this time. He slept with her and
spent every minute with her.
She fought so hard to keep him alive and to get him healthy but God decided he
needed him up in Heaven.
Please pray for him and everyone that loved him.
Our computer died, we
need a brand new computer donated please. We always get old used ones
and for the high use these do not last. This is tax deductible.
Any help is greatly appreciated. As we have no
computer please be patient with regard to receiving adoption packets and
receipts, they will be seriously delayed. Thanks.
Spend Valentine's Day (actually 2/11/12) with the wolves
for the low low price of $75 (usual cost $150) INCLUDING lunch! January 15, 2012 Happy New Year!!! Finally back online after computer crash. Website will be updated over the next few days.
November 2, 2011 WMS has lost a beloved family member. Christel Hunsaker ("MUM") joined the sky people. Mum became a part of the pack many many years
ago. Danna brought a wonderful group of women to visit us, "The Wild Wolf
Women of the Web" and Christel was among them. She belonged instantly and became our wise "MUM"
loving and sharing her wonderful wisdom with us. Even though she lived
many hours away she visited often and talked to Tonya every Friday on the phone.
Yesterday was very hard for Tonya. During her visits she loved to sit with
the wolves in the quiet and just think. She loved to sit on the porch with
the hummingbirds flying around and read or journal. The wolves were very special to Christel, she loved them
so much and they loved her too. She was the adoptive mom for many of them. Please say a prayer for this wonderful woman and
for Gary, her husband and Karen, her daughter. The loss to all who loved her and were loved by
this gentle spirit is HUGE! Rest in Peace MUM, you will always be in our
hearts!

July
30, 2011 (written by Stacy Westly)) At approximately 6 p.m. on July 30, 2011, our beloved
Mishomi passed on to the Sky People. His beautiful soul is now at peace
and out of pain.
It is heartbreaking to watch someone or something
you love pass before you. Yet, in this case, being next to Mishomi,
touching his sweet face and whispering in his ears, made the heartache
deeper and somehow easier. We have known for a while that Mishomi was ill, but he
always soldiered on. After the unfortunate Pepperoni Incident on July
9, 2011 (a visitor (against WMS rules, gave him pepperoni which caused
his stomach to bloat), Mishomi began a swift decline. The vet
discovered that Mishomi had cancer all the way through his alimentary
canal and gastrointestinal tract. He was in pain, and a lot of it. The
cancer was systemic. There was nothing the vet or we could have done to
prolong Mishomi’s life. No prayer was going to magically make him
well. No medicine was going to make him well. The tremendously
difficult decision to ease his passing had to be made.. Mishomi was carried outside to a grassy area. He laid
there, allowing all of us to pet him. We could see how labored his
breathing was and the dimming of his spirit. We knew. He knew. It
still hurt every second of every minute of every hour we were there.
But we take solace that Mishomi was able to pass under the wide blue sky
on cool sweet grass with a soft breeze to ease his way.. I was so blessed that, toward the end, Mishomi laid his
head against my leg. It was all I could do to keep giving him my love
through my hands, letting him know that he was safe. The sun sparkled
off his white fur. His toes twitched. His eyes pleaded with us. It
was time.. Stephanie and I laid close to Mishomi’s head, stroking
his muzzle and ears, telling him how much we love him, how we will miss
him, how special he is, and how he will live in our hearts always. When
the vet finally administered the drugs, we could see his last breath,
could feel the last warm exhalation through his majestic nose, and gaze
in his wise amber eyes to see the flight of his spirit. We whispered
for his peace, for his soul, for his spirit, for his brothers and
sisters who waited for him on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. We
asked him to greet us when it is our turn to travel … to show us the
way.. Mishomi is now with Apache Moon, Gabriella, Niosha,
Tamaka, Sedona, Durango, Dakota and Waylon. He is with his pack.. We shall miss you, Mishomi. The world is less bright
tonight. Many pillows will be damp from tears shed in your honor.. Namaste. A-Ho. Amen. Until the morrow.. PS: The song I repeatedly sang to Mishomi was “Your
Long Journey.” I am most familiar with the version sung by Alison
Krauss and Robert Plant on their phenomenal album, Raising Sand.” Here
are the lyrics.. God’s given us years of happiness heree Oh my darlingg Oh the days will be emptyy Oh my darlingg Fond memories I’ll keep of happy wayss Oh my darlingg Thanks to VCA-Lakeside to let everyone take the time to
be with Mishomi during his passing.. In attendance: Tonya, Bob, Stephanie, Amy, Alec,
Rick, Donna, Stacy, Nellie, Gilbert, and Michaell If you would like to make a donation to help with the

not doing well, he is aging and having some hip problems. He needs to have a new compound built to make him more
comfortable.

The new compound will be shared with
Mireya with an inner fence until we know they will interact well together.
Once they do, the inner fence will be removed and they will be together..
