I don't even know what I'm doing up this late. 3:40 AM.
I was browsing through my Dad's laptop trying to find some pictures I took of Mickey during the summer but got distracted when I came upon some backup picture files from my Grandma's digital camera. I was going through them, laughing at pictures of myself and my family a few years back until -
I came upon two pictures of Wolfgang. I don't even know who took these. All laughter stopped.. and I had a good cry.
These two pictures were taken when he was 12 or 13. They were taken a few months before Wolfgang's problems started and 11 months and 4 days before we sent him to the Rainbow Bridge.
Rest in peace, Wolfie......I'll see you at the Bridge some day.

This was a scanned photo of Wolf with my Aunt.. probably taken the summer we got him; Summer of 1999 when he was 8 years old:

My biggest regret of all was not saying goodbye. I just walked off to school that morning.. I didn't even say anything to him or see him that morning. I guess I didn't think my parents were really going to take him in. That's a lame excuse if I ever heard one.
Sometimes I question myself about the health problems that occured in the last stages of his life. He was a giveaway in the paper; his military family was going back to Germany and they couldn't take him with. Maybe if I had done more research on care for dogs he could have still been with us or at least stayed around a little longer.
No point in wondering now. It's too late and I'll have to wait until I see him again.
