"Raffy"
April 2, 1998 - January 7, 1999
I guess I always knew he was
only "borrowed." On January 7, 1999,
due to acute renal failure, we let our beloved "Raffy"
earn his own set of Wings.

Kai, our little boy, how can we ever let you know how much you meant to us, how much we miss you! You were six months old, and already had manners, such a gentleman from the beginning. You gave us so much joy, so much love, you were so much fun to be with. You were an adventurous little guy which sometimes got you into some trouble. You loved performing for us and guests, you loved running on your land, barking and herding the quail, doves, lizards and standing at your own little cliff overlooking "your territory" in that proud stance... You protected your territory and family with your life, as you proved your courage by fighting off a wild coyote that dared to walk on your land. You almost lost your life that time as you were badly hurt but you were strong and survived! Your dad loved taking long walks into the desert with you, you would run ahead, exploring, barking, but would always come back to see if your dad was still walking behind you! You always sensed when we were hurting emotionally or physically, and what a comfort you were as you laid at our feet and licked our wounds. How will you ever know what pain and grief I felt when at the end of 17 years I had to be the one to hold your now frail body in my arms, and I held you tight, as the doc released you from your body. You were gone in seconds. But I know that somehow you know, and that you are still with us and that you always knew how much you were loved by all your family. But I can't help but wish sometimes that I could hold your compact little body and kiss your patient little face looking into those huge liquid brown eyes so full of love... We'll be seeing you, Kai! Love you, papas! |

Mandee was one of our favorites! She was our first Champion, with Group and Specialty wins both in the States and Canada. She was the foundation to our AOAC line. We had hoped to have her here for many more years and losing her at the age of 12 to liver cancer was a great loss! Rest well, dear heart! Sadly missed by the Weitkamps, Kaskia Shelties, |

CH Mami-Maureens Kimmy Kricket CD July 2, 1985 - November 5, 1998 We miss you fancy pants... your grinning ways, sparkling eyes full of mischief and knowledge. You were our first Sheltie, our foundation bitch who still carries on in our fifth generation of Champions. You made us laugh so hard with your antics of opening the stove drawer to get attention, stealing our socks and running or just lying by my feet at night while watching tv or reading a book. You were one in a million, may you rest in peace. Love, |

"Lucca", a Bi-Blue Angel April 15, 1996 - January 8, 1999 We lost our little beautiful blue girl to renal failure early in the morning on January 8. I brought her home from the hospital the night before. It seemed like she waited to be home with her mom and her dad (her humans) and her brother Simon (sheltie) and her two sisters Minnie and K.T. (the terrors). It was like she waited to come home to be with us, to touch our cheeks with her little nose and look into our eyes once more, to say good bye in her own gentle way before making her trip to the Bridge. She is still missed so very much. I still turn, half expecting to brush into that tiny (12 pound) body of hers or to have her run out and attack the vacuum or the sprinklers or anything else she felt deserved attacking. She was so full of life until the end. Her Simon misses her still to this day. We will never forget the joy she brought to our house, for the short time she was with us. She was my husband's dog and Simon was her only true love. I really believe that she lived only long enough to come home and be beside him nestled in his ruff when she left us. She taught my husband how to truly love a dog and she did her job well. We all loved you "sweet baby", wait for us, we won't be long. With all our love, |

Sandy, My Sheltie I wanted you to know that the page of Sheltie Angels I am reading seems like it was meant for me. I had a sheltie growing up as a kid. I got to pick her out of a litter when I was 11. She was the runt, of course, but she grew to be an Angel. She was my best friend growing up, even though I had a sister close in age. She comforted me, slept with me, played with me and always seemed happiest when I would get out of our family vehicle after a long time away from the house. I will never forget the day the vet told me that her kidneys had failed and there was nothing more he could do. I was 11 when I got her and she was 11 when I lost her. The last moments I spent with her were all tears for me and what seemed like understanding from her. She rested her head in my arms and looked up at me. It was then that I realized that all this time, Sandy was in love with me. I believe to this day that shelties are the dogs that are more human and have more emotion than any other dog. It took me a long time to get over her death. I have always felt an emptiness about me. I am 28 now and have a loving wife and two children. Well, three if you count our new sheltie, Whiskey. He is a God-sent gift to our family. We have had him for two years. He seems more playful at times than my 4-year-old son (that's hard to do!). Whiskey sleeps on our love seat at night with all four feet up in the air. Sometimes he dreams and gets all four paws moving at once. He really makes us laugh. He too, chases squirrels, thinks he is King of the neighborhood watch program, and lets all the kids on bikes in our neighborhood know that he is watching them and they are going too fast. He looks at me once in awhile the same way Sandy did. It is then I know she is waiting for me someplace (with wings, of course). I thought I would share this with you because Sheltie Angels Among Us really made me remember all the good times I had as a child with Sandy. Thank You for letting me take up a few moments of your time. |

Karral Victory Lap My name is Joni McDaniel and three years ago I purchased from Karral Shelties a very beautiful Jeep (Grand Prix) son - Karral Victory Lap (Lexus). I was so excited when I drove down to SFO to pick him up and we bonded immediately. I only had him a little less than six months (he was not even four years) when, because of a vet error, he died of aspiration pneumonia. I was devastated. I loved this dog with all my heart. I know Lexus went to the Rainbow Bridge and when my dad died in 1998 I know he went to watch over Lexus and all our other dogs until I could take over the care of Lexus once again. I will always carry Lexus in my heart and know he is watching me. |
