I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. We had to say goodbye to both of our beloved dogs earlier this year. Both times our vet was just about as upset about it as we were. When Murphy crossed the Bridge, she had tears streaming down her face, just the same as we did.
Needless to say, when our Ollie came into our lives a couple of months ago, we took him right in to meet the vets. We have wonderful interactions with all of the staff and the vets at the office. Everyone came out to meet Ollie and ooh and aah over him. He loves going there, and we wouldn't want to take him anywhere else.
