I had to write to share what it is like to have a wonderful Vet. Yesterday when I went to pick up Simple's cremains, her Doctor came out of the office to give me a hug and ask to say "good-bye to Simple one more time. This caring man has on many occassions talked with me about ending an animal's life, and how it is something that bothers him deeply no matter how many times he has to do it. Then he asked if I had the time to see his new Baby. This beautiful FurBoy kitty has cancer. He is black and big and still very active and healthy. His parents didn't want him anymore because he was ill. My Vet will not put down an animal that still has good life quality, so he offered free care, they just didn't want him anymore, so they signed him over to the Dr. Although I know Dr. S. is willing to give him wonderful and loving end of life care, I am truly considering taking him myself, if my FurBoy Max will not pick on him, because although it breaks my heart when I lose a Furkid, I have to admit that knowing I can give a special FurBaby the time to enjoy a little more of life in a loving enviroment is well worth the pain felt when I lose them. I feel blessed to have a Vet that believes in Hospice for animals, because when people around me told me I was crazy to care for Simple, she had CRF, Hyperthyroid and Conjestive Heart, he was there for me anytime of day to help me with her care, or just the support I needed when things sometimes seemed overwhelming. He helped me have nearly a year more full of wonderful moments with my beautiful Girl.
Never fear to love too much,
