We suggest a $100 donation. Perhaps they are not the stars but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. …old Inuit saying |
In Memory of Our Beloved Hans
With heavy heart, we announce the passing of our beloved Hans on the morning of March 9th, 2024. Hans (Hansel) was a two year (?) old stray Weim/Lab mix rescued seven years ago while chained together in a dirt lot in the Central Valley with his sister, Gretel. She was adopted immediately, but Hans languished in a foster home for some time until we spotted, and immediately adopted him. He had the temperament of a Lab, and the birdiness of a Weim. According to the Vet, he had a ruptured malignant heart tumor, and bled to death internally. So it was painless, and relatively quick. Mary and I are heartbroken, and our other Weim, Jill keeps wandering the house looking for him. Of the many Weims we have had over the past 60 years, he was by far the best, and will forever be missed.
Hans, dear boy, we will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

In Memory of Our Beloved William
Twelve years ago, William came into our lives. We had lost our wonderful Sunra a few years before, a Weimy that I had gotten as an adorable rambunctious puppy. But this time, we wanted to provide a home for a dog in need so we turned to Northern California Weimaraner Rescue and found our beloved William. He was not without challenges, an escape artist if left alone and the perpetrator of many “weim crimes.” He could open every drawer and sliding door in the house which he did to help himself to treats or a nap in the sun. If we were out of the house and he heard kids playing at the school across the street he would hop the 6-foot fence to join them (I got many a call from the school secretary saying take your time to pick him up, he was such a sweet dog and the kids adored him). William had a huge heart to balance the mischief and loved people petting his long soft ears. Full of joy for his walks, runs and swims (so much energy!) and he did literal happy spin dances for his dinner even at 14 years old. There is a huge hole in our hearts and home, but know he is at peace. Thank you for the gift of William.

To My Dearest Duke
You came into my life when you were seven years old and left me at age ten and a half. I knew my time would be limited with you, but welcomed you into my home and my heart. You quickly became my best friend, sleeping next to me on my bed (you would not have it any other way!), accompanying me at work where you would jump on the exam tables to the delight of my patients, and preferring to wait in my comfort-controlled car (Tesla on “dog mode”) rather being at home in bed just so you could keep an eye on me.
You came into my life at a time of stress having an ex-wife that left the home, me and Jordan (my son for those who do not know us) at that exact time. I tell my patients you preferred it that way so you could have that half of the bed! After your passing, Jordan pointed out how important you were to both of us. We not only rescued you, but you rescued us…
It is with great sadness, yet wonderful feelings, that I write this in your honor. I still weep over your absence, missing your love and devotion daily. I would like to say it is getting easier, but so far, 6 weeks later, it feels like yesterday that you had your last slice of pizza from the kitchen where you would hang out for office workers to sneak you food. Ironically you developed cancer when owned by a cancer doctor. As you know I did everything in my power to get you the best treatment, but in the end it was clear that the cancer had won the war. You were at peace with your loved ones surrounding and mourning at your passing.
I told the wonderful Weimaraner Rescue how lucky I was to have found you and let them know of your moving on to dog heaven. I told them someday perhaps I would adopt another boy, but was not ready just yet. However, a healthy 18-month-old boy, Cooper, needed a home just two weeks later and he is so far a wonderful spirit that you would approve of. No being, not just dog, could ever replace the love we shared, the quick look you would give to let me know what you wanted, whether it be a walk or a snack, accompanied by a pawing at the door or refrigerator to emphasize your desires. We had a connection that cannot be broken as I will remember and cherish all our time together. As I write this and tears flow down my cheeks, Cooper put his head in my lap, sensing my sadness. I am sure you do not mind since you are not here to comfort me.
To those reading this, it might seem you would not want to put yourself through the pain of adopting an older dog, but he has changed my life for the better and only wish I had more time with my boy. Thank you to all that made it happen for me.

In Loving Memory of Misty May Neckar (aka Sharky)
July 6, 2009 to May 30, 2021
My sweet girl that I loved so very much and miss terribly! I miss you in my car, next to me on the couch, waking me in the morning, peeking around the corners to see where I was, etc. You were my buddy, always by my side and with me most everywhere I went. I have so many awesome memories of you. You loved car rides, the park, the trampoline, your “sucky toys”, sticks (the bigger, the better), long hikes, the beach and your naps! You were such a special part of my life and our family and now there is a huge void with you gone. You were the chattiest dog I’ve ever met! You always had something to say! Thinking of you makes me smile and laugh and you will always hold a special piece of my heart. As hard as it was to say good bye,
I know that you are at peace now and no longer in any discomfort. RIP
