May this page stand as testament to how deeply and passionately I adored
My Cow, my Boy; my Everything
A gift from Alaska, with Love
Heifer came to me through a series of events that I cannot describe in other way than absolute serendipity.
His original Home was Bethel, Alaska.
He traveled from there, to San Diego, California; where he found his forever home.
Heifer did not spend a single second of his life with me unloved. He was my Everything.

What follows is a rough timeline of Heifer’s short life, comprised of photos and videos from multiple sources
The first known* images/videos of Heifer.
Presumed to be photographed during his time in Bethel, Alaska.
*his age in and the locations of these images are kinda unknown
The Moove to San Diego
Through a series of events and circumstances, Heifer found himself in San Diego, California circa late 2019.
Not long thereafter, he ended up at The Benhurst Castle.
It was here that I met, and began to love The Cow. He became mine around this time.
We had the privilege of spending about four years with Heifer.
This is just a small slice of the massive catalog of images of the Cow.
Images are in rough chronological order.
Poor health & Bad news
After hearing from his Veterinarian that he has at most six months to live, we hoped for the best and prepared for the worst. Feline cancer can be extremely aggressive.
Given roughly six months left to have him, we wanted to spend every second we could with Heifer. Six months became six weeks, when it was decided that he must be put to sleep.
Heifer’s final six weeks were tough. Saying goodbye to him was harder than I could have ever possibly anticipated. Ultimately, Heifer was gracious enough to grant me closure.
This image is one of only a few taken during his final ever photoshoot.

His Final Resting Place
Heif’s remains, as well as a few trinkets of his, are preserved in a shrine we built in his honor.
I will Love you forever
and ever,
and ever,
