Amazing & Compassionate Staff

by TobysMom

I recently had to take my 13 !/2 year old blue healer to Dr. Kelly when he became suddenly ill. I knew the news wasn't going to be good. He was in heart failure and I made the horrible decision to let him go. Dr. Kelly and her staff embraced me like I had been going there forever, when in reality this was my first visit. They were patient, so kind, so loving to me and Toby. They gave us time, consideration and so much empathy and understanding. It was the hardest day of my life, but with the staff's help I made all of the right decisions and they let me take all of the time I needed to be with him. It was quiet and still and beyond my comprehension. I made the decision to bury him myself, and when I return several hours later to pick him up, they lovingly had placed him in a blanket inside a bag and wrapped him in the blanket I brought with me. His moments leaving this earth were much greater because of the beautiful treatment he and I both received. I will forever be indebted to this beautiful staff of women. Thank You one and all!!!
