Meyer Uttley

Age 12, ~2007 - February 20, 2019

Meyer was a best friend, cuddle bug, and fantastic teacher to those lucky enough to know her.

Nickname: Love Bug

Born on the streets of Taiwan, Meyer was a short, fluffy, adorable golden girl. Considered good luck to many, she spent her childhood roaming from house to house eating food scraps. One day she was approached by a women working with NorCal Golden Retriever Rescue who promised her a better life with endless food and fun, in America. As Meyer loved adventure, and food, she accepted. After passing the necessary immigration immunizations and exams, Meyer was on her way. Landing in San Francisco CA, she was greeted by a family who lived in Monterey. Knowing nothing of America she happily accepted their offer for a home and traveled to the iconic beach town. However, just as the air started to smell familiar the family decided they were going to relocate to Utah. So, from sand to snow, Meyer made the trip with them. After two months together (in two different states), Meyer and the family decided they were were not the best fit. So Meyer made the necessary arrangements and headed back to San Francisco, the city by the bay.

This time a couple from Sacramento came to visit who said they had a cat but were looking for another companion just like her. Meyer decided that she liked them, gave them both hugs, and agreed to try Sacramento out. On the way to the couple's house they stopped to meet friends and explore breweries- Meyer liked that they included her in their adventures and knew this would be a lasting relationship. Meyer also liked beer :)

From that moment on Meyer went everywhere with the couple. They went whale watching in Monterey, biking along the American River, hiking in the mountains, wine tasting in Napa, and skiing in the Sierra. Meyer loved vacations and especially road trips. After three years of having the couple to herself, they asked if she would be willing to accept a little brother. At first Meyer was not a fan, but soon she realized that he did not take away from her fun, and in fact, he worshiped the ground she walked on. She also realized that if the couple did not adopt him, he might be left to scrounge for food as she once did. So, being the love bug that she was, Meyer told the couple she was ok to have him share her home (and her bed) and made it her mission to teach him everything she knew about life- starting with how to get the most treats from the couple ;)

Meyer leave behind her human companions Martin and Paige, as well as her adopted brother Max. She touched many people lives, always asking for a treat and paying them back with smiles. She was a fantastic cuddle bug, a horrible walker, and the best teacher Max could have ever asked for. Meyer is greatly missed by many but will live on forever in the wonderful memories she helped to create.
