in Las Vegas
Then, early one morning when Beth, Asher and Maddie Jo were on their way to the dog park they saw a small Weimaraner walking down the street all by herself. They searched high and low for her people, but no one knew her. It seemed only natural that this petite, dainty girl be called Gracie and join the Wetzler pack.

Then there were three
The three didn't always get along, but they were always a family.

All the way to Mercer, Wisconsin.
They exchanged the desert for lakes and woods.

This past summer Gracie battled Cushings disease and complications related to the illness. She lost a lot of weight and had some tough days, but that didn't stop her from learning a new skill - paddle boarding!
As summer turned to fall and fall to winter Gracie grew weaker and the daily walks became harder for her.
Just after the holidays, on January 3, 2014 Gracie died at home surrounded by her family.
It was a cold, snowy, gray day.
Now there are two.
Good-bye sweet Gracie.
Keep an eye on us - as you always did.
