Tanker's Passing in the Night


My best friend for the last 14 years passed away in his sleep on Sunday night, the 27th of January, 2008. TANKER was the most beautiful Wolf Hybrid I have ever known other than the rest of his pack which included his mom SHILO, a 98% Timber Wolf, his dad MASHU, a 70% Siberian Husky, and his sister SPIRIT. TANKER and SPIRIT were 2nd generation Hybrids consisting of 77% Timber Wolf from their mom, and 30% Husky from their dad. The last 3% was most likely Alaskan Malmute due to their three layer fur coats and large size.

TANKER now joins the rest of the Pack to run free and play in the Pastures of the Spirit World.

I am missing him and his family so much, it really hurts. His final resting place is in the lower pasture of my 5 acre property over-looking a creek. I will try and post some pictures of the whole Pack and TANKER's final resting place.

This picture of TANKER was taken on January 21, 2008 during an outing in the lower pasture, six (6) days before his passing to the other side.
