A card we received...

MamaWick — Fri, 27 Aug 2021 19:11:51 GMT

We have not been to our PO Box for about 2 weeks. We went today, and this was there. We have been through this before (and it doesn't get easier as I'm sure many of you know). We have received cards from the vet's office, but they were basically generic cards and not signed by all the vets and staff.

@MamaWick , First I'm sorry for your loss. When I lost my 18 year Siamese , Maggie, my Vet sent a card like yours and made a donation to an animal charity in our name. Again, I'm so sorry, it's heartbreaking. 🌺

MamaWick, it's nice to see you post again. The card is very touching.

I can sympathize with you . Within the last five years, I lost two of my fur babies.

So sorry for your loss. Cards like these make me cry. It is nice that they sent it, but once I stop crying about a loss, I don't need reminders like this to start me crying all over again.

What a sincere act of thoughtfulness and kindness you received from your vet.. I still have packets of "forget me nots" seeds that my vet sent to me when I lost one of my fur babies.

We miss you and hope to see your posts with your sweet deer very soon.

How sweet to receive so much love.
I think often if I can handle when our little doggie goes, he'll be 14 soon. The vet mentioned that he's past the age that Bichon frize live 🥰

I saved a card sent by my vet's office for a kitty I lost over 30 years ago.

What a wonderful tribute to dear sweet Cricket Victoria and a testament to you and PapaWick as well.

Cricket's visit to the Rainbow Bridge has left a big hole in yours and the hearts of many. May her memory be a blessing and may those memories help.

Woofs to sweet Cricket in heaven. She will not be forgotten.

Dear MamaWick and PapaWick,

What a thoughtful and caring veterinary group you belong to. Their sincere concern shows through. I hope you felt a warmth knowing that your Cricket was with a caring medical team.

We have belonged to the same group for decades and have received a card on the loss of our pets only a few times. The most thoughtful card was sent to us by a female vet who also made a donation in the name of our pet dog.

I have missed you but understood that you will return to posting if and when you feel up to it.

Many of us were "Cricketeers." She was a sweetie.

What a lovely gesture from your vet's office. Many years ago, when we had to say goodbye to our beloved Golden Retriever, we were surprised to receive a handwritten letter from the vet, saying he knew how hard it was, but that we had made the best choice for our pet.

We were even more surprised, when we received the bill for the final week of care, with a note that the vet had reduced it by 2/3rds because he knew how hard a decision it was that we had to make. He was a wonderful vet and even better person.

Thinking of you, @MamaWick and hoping that time will begin to ease the pain.

This is absolutely beautiful and made me cry! How kind and caring of your vet staff to do this.

I think of Cricket all the time. All the pictures of her use to make me smile all the time and warmed my heart!

All my love and hugs to you and Papawick as you work through this difficult time.

@MamaWick

So sorry for your loss of your sweet pup - I haven't been on much lately due to other circumstances. I need to catch up on your beautiful deer pics too.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We said goodbye to our kitty a couple months ago and the house is feels "so empty"..

We also received a beautiful card with his paw prints from our vet - so very touching...

hugs

Thank you for sharing that very special card. Cricket was so special. How could you not fall in love with her? I surely did.

I do think that darling is in heaven now, likely wishing she could send a message on down to Mama and Papa. “Don’t you worry about me. imagine me well and happy, and I have made so many new friends. We will be together again some day, I know it.”

My fondest wishes to you both. You two are the best.

Pam

The saying on the card is lovely. I know how it hurts to lose a pet, please accept my condolences on your loss of your beloved Cricket. Dog Heaven now has a new friend to play with.
