Love always, Your vet

[LadyJae]

My Vet became a close family friend. When my 20 year old Rhodesian Ridgeback, was too weak to stand, we carried him outside on a blanket to do his business. My Vet allowed us to do that for a couple of days, before he sat us down and talked to us like a friend. 

When the time came, he sat on the floor and held him as he administered the medication, and prayed over him.

I will never forget the pain and compassion so evident in my Vet's eyes when he was helping us through the lost of our Caleb. We became very close friends. His family is like mine and mine is like his. He is an amazing man, and a very good Vet.

I feel your pain. Losing a pet that you have had for years is a tough and very painful experience, that affects the whole family. 

This is one of the last pictures I have of Lazarus my cat/dog. He was 21 years old when he past. It always makes me smile a painful smile every time I look at it.

((( @"NightskyeB4Dawn" )))  How blessed you are to have had your furbabies for so many years. I have been that lucky only once. We grew up together, she and I.

I had never considered just how much a good vet has invested in his patients. There is much I'm still discovering (or rediscovering) in my old age.

Thank you for your kind words ;)
