Written by Deb Lucchesi: So many memories of Nyssa, two come to mind most readily. Nyssa was the most engaging with her immediate interaction with wolf care staff, nannies and even strangers during the pose with the pups program. She always ran up to lick and nibble our chins, and get a belly rub. Of course the other memory is of the fierce, spunky defense of her food, toys and treats. I always will like to refer to Nyssa as Miss Vocal, never a hesitation to be heard in the wolf yard. Her sounds resound in my memory forever. I came to see Nyssa last September and once again she came to the fence, intent on face licks and making a connection, as if to give me one more intense memory of the black princess. As I walked away, she gazed on at me in a way that I'll never forget…Remember me… Remember me… When Nyssa passed to the spirit world, my brother reminded me that she had fulfilled her purpose… She is so loved and cherished.
