Your Beautiful Remembrances, Love & Condolences 

 

 

The outpouring from so many friends, students & strangers -  really, people I've never met emailed me having been touched by Dulce... I thank you all. The support of it the love, the beauty & memories brought tears of gratitude, joy & sadness. I will be posting many many of them as the days go on & we will hold a memorial for her, for all of us to share, unite and celebrate her life together.

I want to share a detail of her transition because it is truly remarkable. We were home, Dulce was comfortable, content and ready. I was weeping, thanking her, telling her how much I love her and wishing her a safe journey. Babette asked me if I was ready, crying I said yes and... fireworks went off. The huge celebratory firework display over the Hudson River began and I laughed saying, really?! You're going out with that?! And of course I knew it was all okay, the right moment and truly a celebration of life and change, endings and new beginnings. I heard it was the best fireworks display many have ever seen - larger than life, full of humor and fanfare.

Love to you Dulce,

Mom

Wendy, I am truly sorry for your loss. She was a very sweet dog, who helped me get comfortable with the "woof woof" excersize. May you take comfort in knowing that each soul has a mission for which it comes down to this world. And dogs, because they don't suffer from human egos or other such human afflictions, don't have any alterier motives, and complete their missions like soldiers. And G-d, who never remains in debt, pays these souls hansomly, as only the Truly Infinite can. With blessings for a healthy summer, and may we share only happy news together with our friends from now until forever.  Benny

 

Wendy I'm so glad that you came into her life. I almost kept her and sent you her sister instead. You were supposed to have her. You gave her a great life and now she is with Grandma Cami and her Mom. They will teach her the joys of herding sheep. You know she will come to you when you least expect it. You will feel her presence in the room. Kathy

Dearest Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear about Dulce..:( my deepest condolences. She's been one of the cutest companion friend I've seen, and in your life I'm sure... Sorry once again to hear that...With all my love, Annabel  Singapore

 

Wendy,  We're so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. It seems like she couldn't have lived a better, richer, happier life. Our thoughts and love are with you both. Love, Chris and Bess

 

My heart goes out to you, Wendy. Thank you for the beautiful and inspiring tribute to your relationship with such a lovely being. When my breathing gets trapped to high, I often remember you telling me, during a lesson, to watch her as she quietly (sweetly) lay on the floor beside us. I am glad to have been one of her students.  May she send strength to you from beyond to keep you happy in your memories. abena

So sorry to hear that Dulce is no longer with you (well, in furry form). I know she is forever in your heart and here in spirit.  She's a special soul and I know you will miss her incredibly. Sending you so much love and comfort. In peace and gratitude for meeting such a lovely soul, Carla


this weekend nyc said goodbye to one of its sweetest dog beings. dulce the dog, my dear friend wendys canine companion left us, as she came to the end of a sweet and thrilling life. she spent her final days at wanderlust in VT in the loving arms of the greenery. over the last 8 months ive spent every tuesday with wendy and dulce, taking voice lessons, and teaching yoga in their home. they are both a big part of my heart. 

 

Triumph!
I send you my deepest condolences. It was clear that Dulce was an extremely happy dog and had the lucky experience of having you as her human mommy. May she rest in peace. All my love, Alison

Oh my sweet wendy,  i am so sorry.  Dulce could not have had a better mom or a better life.  Xxoxx Alicia

 

I am so sorry for your loss...but it sounds like it was a beautiful ending. We all will miss that gentle giant of a female....sweet dreams to her....and hugs to you.  Bill

 

Oh Wendy I am so sorry. I had no idea. I look forward to seeing her on the other side. Sending you a big hug and kiss, Jen

 

oh wendy i am so sorry,  so happy i got a chance to meet her too, amazing girl. very much love simone x


Dear Wendy, Yesterday Ian told us about Dulce's passing. We are heartbroken for you. Whenever Terry and I would see you, you had Dulce with you. You provided Dulce with a life filled with your beautiful music. How lucky! We wanted you to know, that even though our encounters were brief, we share in your sadness and celebrate Dulce's life with you. When our dog "Mozart" passed, it was heartbreaking. Ian found that writing a song about "Mozart" helped in the healing process. It took many months to share that song with us. Perhaps that will help you too. Our pets become our children. We mourn their passing, hold on to the memories and celebrate their lives. We wish you strength as you continue on your journey without the physical presence of your beloved Dulce. With much sympathy, Elyse and Terry Axel (Ian's parents)

 

Dear Wendy, I hope you are doing okay.  Though I've never truly had the experience of having a canine companion, I can imagine the bond that the two of you had, as well as the impact Dulce made on everyone she met.  Glad to hear this past weekend was a wonderful one for her. All the best, Jamie

 

Wendy I'm so sad to hear this. Dulce was one of the most special dogs I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Love to you and the pup. Best, Nicole

 

Wendy,  I am so so so so sorry to hear it. I hope you're ok. I know you were somewhat prepared as you'd mentioned it, but my denial (and Dulce's ever-wonderful glow) prevented me from believe it could be true. I am sure no amount of preparation can ease the way it feels when it happens. I just know Miss D is giving a short, jewish gal a hug and learning a new Hebrew as we speak. Call me anytime. Thinking of you.. Love you to pieces, dp

 

:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((   That was a beautiful eulogy, Wendy.  Rest in peace to an amazing creature, indeed.  I hope you're doing ok.  We love sweet Dulce and we love you!!!!! <3 Jack

My thoughts are with you today. I loved Dulce and know how lucky you both were to have one another. My love to you.  Deena

 

I’m so sorry to hear that. She was a beautiful pup, and had a wonderful life, more than any dog of her stature could ask for I’m sure. Traveling with you everywhere, hanging with all kinds of people… who knows what she saw while you were inside stores and restaurants. It also seems like she had a nice weekend away with you, and was ready to go. You are in my prayers.  If you need to talk, let me know. Shelby

 

I will miss that beautiful girl. She had such a special flare and love of life. What an amazing privilege to spend 10 years together. Xoxo, Gina

 

What a beautiful homage to an amazing dog. I wasn't lucky enough to meet her but feel like I know her through your writing and her website. Shedding some tears for Dulce and for you this morning on the West coast. I will give extra hugs and kisses to my fur kids today to honor Dulce.  Hugs, Deanna

 

Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss.  I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Dulce once, and she touched my heart forever.  I can remember when I first saw her on 6th Avenue, and the photo we took of her and Carmine.  She was such a beautiful soul, and I have thought about you and her ever since.  She was lucky to have such a loving Mom, and it sounds like she really lived a beautiful and extraordinary life.  Her spirit will certainly live on.  Sending love... Carmine and Jon

 

Dear Wendy and Sweet Dulce, As I said to you on the phone this morning, you and Dulce have always surpassed the regular owner/dog relationship/embodiment.  You created a beautiful existence together all your own that greatly affected so many lives (humans and dogs) in wonderful, special, happy ways over the last 10 years.  I will forever be grateful and blessed to have known and experienced Dulce and your companionship with her, as will Harper.  She is such an amazing presence that will be with us always. Your writings are beautiful about her. Dulce, we are so lucky to have known and been touched by you.  I miss you tons already. Love, Mary Gail

Dear Wendy, I'm so sorry to hear about Dulce's passing.. She was a beautiful creature and I'm just so sorry for your loss.  I hope you're doing OK, although I imagine this is a very sad time.  I'm sending you my very best wishes, and am remembering fondly Dulce's kindness and sophisticated presence.  She will be missed.  Hope to see you soon.  Love Justin

 

oooohhh, sadness... Big kiss, D

 

Wow. I'm in shock.  I'm really in shock.  You knew. You could sense it. I'm so sorry Wendy! Dulce has certainly made her mark on this world and she will inspire so many for years to come.  And what an incredible bond you two had. She could not have asked for anyone better as a mother to her.  You treated her like an equal, which was so amazing, because she was!  She had a heart and soul bigger than most people I know, and you recognized that and let her live the fullest life she could have.  I love you.  I'm so sorry for your loss....please let me know if there's anything I can do....if you want to get dinner, drinks...anything...i'm here for you. So much love, Chad

 

I am so sorry for your loss.  I know that I only got to know Dulce for a brief time while studying with you, but it was clear to me that she was an amazing companion and a very special girl.  I hope that all of the joyous memories you shared serve as some comfort to you during this difficult time.  You have my deepest condolences. Sincerely, Jason G

 

I am blown away by this news wendy.  i am so sorry for your loss. truly. truly. truly. i know the life you shared with each other was a magical one. you are loved.

 

hi wendy, jim and i were so heartbroken to hear about dulce this morning. i know this must be an extremely hard time for you right now. please know that we are thinking of you and praying for you. we only met dulce 3 times, and we know she was by far the most amazing dog in the world. how lucky you were to be her owner and mom! i'm sure half of the reason dulce was so special, was because you were such a an incredible
owner. we still talk about dulce all the time! and look forward to getting a briard of our own one day. when we do we will have to get some tips from you, you had such a special way with dulce. she will be missed by all!! she made the streets of NYC even cooler! love, jessica & jim

 

Dulce, the happy traveler

Hi Wendy, I am sorry for your loss. I met Dulce in your voice workshop.  You can see from her pic that she is a beautiful, loving spirit. Sincere condolences, Steph S

 

Hi Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss. I'll never forget the day I met Dulce at the 77th & Lexington station. She was absolutely amazing and kindest dog I've ever met (and I am afraid of big dogs!). Thank you for considering all of Dulce's friends and sending out your sweet email... She will be very missed. All my best,
Carol & Fred

 

Wendy, Anna and all my kids send their love. We will miss Dulce. She was loved. Sukeyxx

Wendy, Dulce is an amazing soul, and will be sorely missed. Im so sorry for your loss. xo  Allie

 ahhh toy!

 

Dear Wendy, I am so glad I got to meet you and Dulce during what turned out to be the last few weeks of her life.  It was on the train at West 4th Street station and it made the rest of my night.  She was a beautiful dog with a clearly beautiful spirit who was so lucky to have a mom like you.  Wishing you all the best, Karen

 

Hi Wendy, It was evident to anyone who met Dulce that there wasn't a more loved dog.  I'm so sorry for your loss; she was a special dog. Best regards,  Danielle O

 

Wendy, I am truly sorry for your loss.  I only met Dulce a few times when I came over for classes but I really enjoyed seeing her each time.  I felt the bond between the two of you.  I am sending you my best wishes and thoughts. Manoo

 

Dear Wendy, We were so sad and shocked to hear about Dolce. I don't need to tell you how much I adored her, you saw it on my face every time we were together. I especially loved the sight of you both prancing in and out of the airport. I will truly miss, but will never forget her. I know you are OK from reading your beautiful eulogy. LOVE to you. We will talk as soon as I can, DAD

 

Awww.  I'm so sorry, Wendy.  I loved following you and dulce's adventures.  She is an incredible pup who also had an incredible mama.  Thank you for sharing her with us all.  I'll forever remember that picture of me sleeping on dulce's belly :). Best, Dave

 

Dear Wendy, It has been some time since we last saw each other, but I remember Dulce well.
I'm so sorry for your loss. She was one of the happiest dogs I ever met, and for good reason -- she had an awesome loving friend and owner! Hope you're well and that you have a great summer. Best regards, Theo

 

I am really really sorry to hear about Dolce... Im deeply in sadness of losing such a special gift that was sent to you with full of love to make your life even brighter as well as her life. I know that Dolce had the best life that anyone (any dog) could ever wish for because of your warm love and partnership.
Although I understand that she will live in our memories, I still cannot stop missing her and cry... Please let me know if there's anything that I can do to fill even a piece of your broken heart. R.I.P. Dolce the gift of love  Big love and warm hug... Juri

 

 

Mommie & Me 

 

hi wendy! thank you for this note and picture.  dulce was truly special.  i never met another creature like her.  such beauty and personality! all the best, holland

Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss. Dulce was such a cute and adorable dog, I only met her once and I still remember her with joy. My best wishes of courage and strength for you in this sad period. Angie


So sorry for your loss. Dulce really was an incredible pup and friend. I always remember her lounging while I sang with you. Much love to you, sending light and healing energy your way, Sarah x

 

Wendy, My condolences. I was very sad to hear the news. Dulce always made me smile and had such a great personality. We'll see you around soon. Big hugs, Crystal & Babette the schnauzer

 

Wendy, you have my deepest, most heartfelt condolences.  What a lovely dog, and how lucky you were to share so many great years with her.  She lived a wonderful life, and you were the person who made that happen. all the best  -James

 

I am so sorry for your loss. Dulce was such a sweet and special dog.  I looked forward to when she would come greet me every time I came in for a lesson.  I will miss her so much. Sam

 

Oh Wendy,  I'm thinking about you and sending you so much love.  Dulce was such a great spirit and so blessed to have had such a great Mom.  xx Mandy

 

I am so sorry for your loss - I had no idea. As someone who grew up with 3 dogs, I know how special they are and how much joy they bring to those of us lucky enough to have them as companions and friends. From the few times I met Dulce, it seemed like she did nothing less than that and more, especially with all of your friends and students. Certainly a fitting farewell on a truly historic weekend. Sending my best thoughts her way. Sincerely, Josh

 

I feel your heart Wendy... And my thought are with you sweet spirit.... L ;)

 

Wendy, It's very difficult to both read your letter and write you back. I am so sad mostly for you and Dulce. Upon reading your letter I just burst out in tears.... We all love our dogs so much and like you I have had the dog that i took everywhere I went and when I didn't I had so many interested parties in taking care of it. It is beyond sad. She was truly such a great animal and friend. She will be missed by so many. I hope you are ok. I love you so much and look forward to meeting and spending a lot of time with your next dog... XO Stuart

 Oh those soulful eyes

 

Dear Wendy, Heidi and were saddened to hear of your loss -- I am so glad I got to meet Dulce and write about her.  You were a very special mom to a very special dog.  All best, Diane and Heidi

 

dear wendy, so sorry to hear about your loss of dulce, i got choked up as i was reading your letter
i could clearly see how much you guys loved each other , and i was moved as i live with 2 critters
myself cats martin and alla whom i adore and love to pieces , anyway i hope your doin ok and i will
see you around soon, i have taken a break from practice as i have been having some deep shoulder
issues !! love vincent

 

Dear Wendy, This is a beautiful note and your love for Dulce shows through, even though i have never met either of you...But, I have lost some extremely dear ones in my life and grief is not foreign to my heart. So, my eyes watered while i read your message. However, you have written "She led a really happy life ". And that makes all the difference; the difference between heartbreaking unbearable grief and peaceful bittersweet loss. It is lucky for her to have lived such a life, and it is lucky for you to have shared it.
Still, a loss of such a dear one is a loss indeed. I wish you calm strength and a tranquil heart in the days ahead. I wish peace to Dulce. Swati

 

Wendy! I am so sad to read this email. She was so loved and will be missed... I have never met a dog I am more sure was also a person--- and a lovely beautiful person at that. I hope you are doing alright. My thoughts are with you! all my love, Shayna

 

My heart breaks for you. Keaton started to cry when I told her. What a special, unique friend you had in her and what a tragedy to have to see her go. You are in my thoughts. There's a Hebrew expression that translates, "may her memory be a blessing".  I am sure that Dulcie's will. Xoxo Deb

 

Wendy, I'm glad Dulce had such a beautiful send off.  She was an incredible dog. Where ever her next journey brings her she'll be bringing smiles to everyones faces. <3  Ariel

 

I took our groupon intro class and I had met Dulce.  I too have a "dulce"..but mine is a husky mix.  I can only imagine the pain you are going through with your loss of such an amazing spirit which happened to be in a Dog.  She will always be your angel, and I just want to share my deepest condolences.  
Best Regards Geraldine

 

 

Ohh Nooo..that's really a sad thing...I'm sorry...but I know she had been loved so much by a lot of special people and she had an amazing mom! I'm sure she was really happy in this journey she had...right now she is waiting for us to join her where all special talents go... I'm sorry for the loss, but I'm happy to know she lived and shared a lot of good moments and emotions with all of us... Love forever.... Danilo


Now I know She is a She......I feel her paws on my shoulders every time I watch the video......so sad for you....take care....and get a new pup please.....crying...Matt

 

Wendy, I'm so sorry for the loss. She brought joy and pleasure to everyone who was fortunate enough to meet her, and I'm glad that I had the opportunity. The deep, emotional bond you shared was clearly evident and truly special. Dulce will be missed but never forgotten. Hugs and love during this difficult time, David

 

Wendy, I am so so so so sorry.  I went through this last year with Peaches, so please let me know if there is anything-- cry (if I let all the emotions about Peaches in I can cry for hours), eat, do yoga, etc --- I can ever do for you during these next few weeks/months/years.  She was an incredible, wonderful, and warm presence at the Shala and when I came to your apartment. I can't express to you how much I know what you're going through so please don't hesitate to contact me. xo P.S.  Don't worry about Dulce-  I'm sure Peaches will be happy to have such a wonderful new friend and they will take care of each other. Mia

 

Wendy, I am so sorry to hear about Dulce! She was such a wonderful soul. I remember coming to a lesson right after hearing that my 18 year old beagle had passed away, somehow Dulce knew my pain. She jumped up and hugged me! Put her arms around my neck, it was exactly what I needed and meant the world to me! I've never seen a dog so in touch with human emotions. She was such an amazing creature. I am sure everyone who came in contact with her will miss her dearly, I will for sure. Hope to cross paths with you again soon! Much love, Paget

 

Your mom just emailed me and told me about Dulce.  I'm so sorry to hear that.  She was such an amazing dog. I will miss her so much.  NYC won't be the same without her. xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxo Stacey

 

I’m  so sorry Wendy for your loss.  So painful losing a member of your family.  It sounds like you had a wonderful past few weeks with Dulce. Much love, Brenda

 

Dear Wendy, I'm so sorry for your loss.  Please let me know if there's anything I can do or if you need to get out of the house or anything, seriously. Dulce is very special.  I remember when I first met her at that warehouse/apt place you were giving lessons at before you moved to Jane St.  To think I was terrified of her because she was so big and had so much energy!!  I almost didn't go in!!! Later, there were so many times that I would come for a lesson, completely depressed and shut down in my own life, and she would greet me with bounding joy.  I always felt like she saw ME even though I tried so hard to hide.  She was a great teacher and healer to me during that dark period in my life.  I will always remember her with gratitude and a smile. My thoughts are with you and Dulce. J

 

 

 

Our final weekend was in Vermont, where Dulce was peaceful and enjoyed the company of nature and our guardian angel, Anne.

Gratitude for our Angel Anne

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our final night... so much love, so much gratitude for 9 years, 6 months and some days.

Beautiful and sad as I felt Dulce letting go

 

 


Wendy. I am in shock. I woke in the middle of the night and got your message. I am so sorry. What happened? I went back to sleep and had such strange dreams about her. I am so so sorry. Just so hard to believe, such a big angel. Erin


"So sorry to hear about Dulce. I never met Dulce, but only heard good things and such a beautiful dog. Your heart must be heavy, but do not mourn the loss, but celebrate the good life lived. From one dog owner to another." Jon D

 

Dear Wendy, It's difficult getting past the first sentence without feeling my eyes clouding up until I can't see. I am very saddened by your loss. You seemed to know  that she was preparing to leave us when last we saw you in Sacramento.I guess I still thought of Dulce as a puppy, and needless to say was in total shock when we got your email. She brought such joy to us and she will be so missed when we see you the next time without her.I know that Floyd would write to you if he could, telling you how sorry he is that Dulce won't be visiting him again. I hope that you are okay and that every day is filled with wonderful and happy memories  of  that big, beautiful girl of yours. I love you Wendy. Lib

 
Dear Wendy, I am so sorry for your loss. It was totally unexpected, it took me a bit to process the information. Dulce was one of the best dogs I ever met in my life, incredibly smart and sensitive. She truly gave us all a lot. I am sending you a big kiss and a big hug, I can't wait to see you when I come back. She is always here with us :)  Eli

 

Hello Wendy. I heard about Dulce. I got too much shocked then. I love her. May her rest in pease. Asuka from Japan

 

Dear Wendy,  Just wanted to say that I am sorry to hear about the loss of your dog. I hope you have many sweet memories to help you through this time. xo, Patty

 

You were such an incredible mommy to her and you gave her body the tools to keep up with her soul.
i want to thank you for letting me spend time with Dulce and have her in my life, it was one of the greatest honors i have had and will remain so no matter how many days or beings i encounter the rest of my life.
thank you both for that. after i read your email in the middle of the night i spent the rest of the night trying in my sleep to understand how it would be possible for her to go. i couldn't get it. i know nothing anyone can say can touch the place in your hear where she resides, i know it as my own truth with the beings that have been my partners and have passed. I will simply pray for you and for her and offer my love and friendship if i can do anything. you are watched over now more then ever and you are to be gentle with yourself these days. Very gentle. Let her help you through this. Erin

 

I know your pain. The loss of the presence of the soul you love is so hard. Over time I realized that it was just their presence I lost. Doesn't make me miss them any less though. I send you a big hug and lots of love! Jenn

 

I received your touching letter today. I'm sorry to hear about Dulce. It's crazy how time flies. I remember when you got her. I hope you are okay. She was definitely very loved.  Love Eddie

 

Dearest Wendy, Sending you BIG BIG HUGS and WARM WARM KISSES! Paul and I send our deepest condolences to you about Beautiful Dulce's departure. I believe you are right and that Dulce's next destination is a place where magical souls like hers go. All my love, Ronit xoxoxox

 

Wendy I just had dinner with Stacy and heard about Dolce.  I am so sorry.  There are no words to comfort you now.   Loss of a loved one, whether human- or animal - or an animal we deem to be better than most humans is just horrible.  Simply, there are no words. I just happen to read the attached article.  It made me cry then laugh then cry some more.  The timing of reading the article and hearing about Dolce seemed....I don't know - it was just too coincidental - so I am sharing. Take care of yourself.  xoxo  J

 

wendy, i just opened 'dulce's website for the first time, and saw of dulce's passing over.    what a blessing  it was to have that precious Being in my office from time to time. i send my love to you and to dulce for your live's forever together. janice

 

Wendy, What a beautiful farewell...having dealt with death before I remember how important the actual moments before the passing is. And it sounds as if it could not have been a more perfect way to transition Dulce into the next life! I remember my teachers telling me about how important it was during the moments before the passing of my mom and we created a magical space as well. But this sounds like you created a truly truly perfect way to say goodbye. We should all be so lucky is to leave our lives with yoga, fireworks, and most of all love. Sorry for your loss and wishing you peace during your grief process. I don't know you that well, but one of the first things I noticed about you was how proud you were and how much you loved your dear Dulce the dog. Glad I met her at least once. Om Shanti, Ashley

 

Wendy I just saw your post, I'm so sorry, I just started crying, I'm so sad and I'm so sorry about Dulce, obviously there is is nothing I can really do or say but I hope that you know I just love you guys together and Dulce was so amazing. They don't last as long as long as we want them to. I'm thinking about you, sending out my love and thoughts. Rachael

 

So sad to hear Dulce passed, she's going to be missed by so many. By Andrea and I, good fortune spending time with her. I hope you're doing okay, feel better. Love, Aaron

 

Wendy, So sad. She was a lovely creature and I know how close you were with her. You are absolutely right: she lived an amazing life, brought happiness to those who spent time with her, and she couldn't have wished for more. I hope she says hello to Spencer for us. We felt the same about him. Lisa and I still miss him. Love,
Jamie

 

Wendy, As soon as I saw your email address I knew .........  You wrote a very touching tribute to your pal and put into words the special type of relationship that many of us have experienced with dogs with whom we have shared our lives. I will always remember Dulce, Karen

 

Dear Wendy, I am truly saddened for your loss. Dulce had a big, easy, presence and I can't imagine how much you must miss her after sharing companionship with her for 10 years. I'm sure she gave you many memorable experiences of love and joy for life. I am so sorry for your loss, Nora

 

 

Dearest Wendy Parr: I hope this email finds you and finds you well. I took these fotos of your dear precious sweet Dulce a year ago.. I'm so sorry that I'm delivering these fotos to you now, I suspect it's better late
than never. Might I express that Dulce made me smile that fateful day.  My sweetheart and I launched Bar Veloce back in 2000.  I was working that night, stepped outside to check the lighting, and there was DULCE waiting for her mom!  I just want you to know that I was also moved and touched by Dulce.  And I want to thank you, Wendy, for allowing me to take fotos of her when you were in the middle of dining @ Kanoyama.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful Dulce.  She touched so many people's lives. The beautiful memories your Dulce left behind will never ever be forgotten. Mija
