April 20th, 2023 in the mountains of Humboldt again.

This is there beautiful Naya, during in repose with her legs crossed in front of her like a proper lady.

This is shortly before she started really slowing down and becoming arthritic and lethargic. And then she just stopped eating and began to wither away.

She would still take food from me to be polite, but just drop it into the ground.

As wolves do, one day she decided to wander off alone into the woods to die on her own without fanfare.
