My vet

It's a good thing I feel my vet is as good at caring for animals as she is
with dealing for people, because it would be very hard for me to ever leave
her.

A couple of days after I had to have Nanki-Poo PTS, I received a card from
my vet's office. Not only did both doctors and all the employees sign it,
each of them wrote a personal note on the card.

Today I took Lindy to the vet for lab work. She has to have periodic blood
tests to see if she needs a change in the dosage of her thyroid medication.
The doctor also examined her thoroughly.

Lindy seems to be in good shape, although she was a little dehydrated (she
always is), and has some calcified tartar on a couple of teeth. It wasn't
urgent to do anything with the teeth, so we won't do it now. They gave her
some fluid, and a leukemia shot they said was due. The doctor expects to
have the results of the blood test tomorrow morning, and she'll call me when
she gets them.
When I was paying the bill, Heather, the receptionist said, "This came for
you." She handed me a plastic bag containing a little plaque, similar to the
ones with kids' handprints. Around the edge are tiny mice, kittens and fish.
At the bottom it says, "Nankipoo", and in the middle is an impression of
Nanki's paw print.

Naturally, it made me cry.

You mean, they made an impression of Nanki's paw print for you, just as
something nice to do? You didn't ask for it? That's amazing.

That was a very sweet, kind thing for them to do.

And it just made me cry, reading that. Bless their hearts.

Purrs lovingly sent for Lindy to be okay and a BIG HUG for you.

Not really. When our Smokey went to the Bridge last year, we got the
clay paw impressions, in individually-signed card from the vet, and
another signed by the entire office staff.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised - he (Smokey)was a sweetheart, after all.

It's the first time I've had anything like that happen. I've had to send a
lot of cats (and a dog or two) to the bridge, and the most I've gotten from
other vets was a card signed with the vet's name - probably by the
receptionist.

I think this is a wonderful thing! The only thing I ever did after my dog
Sampson went to the bridge was discover the owner of the vet clinic had
given (sold?) my address to a pharmaceutical marketing company.

Yes, it was wonderful. What was done to you was terrible!

Joy

What a kind thing for your vet to do, Joy. I'm glad you have such a caring
vet to help you with Lindy.
