“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
Dr. Janet Schultz was so kind and patient throughout this difficult process. She explained everything beforehand and allowed us to have as much time as we needed to say goodbye to our good boy.
We sadly had to contact Lap of Love last week. Second time in four years. Our beautiful 9 yr old Rottweiler (Charlie) was ready to go run heavenly fields with her big sister, who she lost four years earlier to cancer. Charlie was diagnosed the week earlier with an aggressive liver cancer. I can’t say enough about Lap of Love. From everyone that answers their phones, to both doctors that have came to our house. I only wish that every veterinarian had their bedside manner and compassion. I met Dr. Wittmeyer out front while my wife said her final goodbyes inside. Dr. Wittmeyer happily listened to me for 20 minutes, tell stories about all the traveling Charlie has done with us, and how many lives she has touched. Once inside, she very gently took care of her the way she deserved. She walked out and gave us as much time as we needed. Our fur babies give us so much throughout the years, they deserve to be sent off at home whenever possible. Charlie on left in the photo. Her big sister Sammy on right.
There was never a sweeter or more humble dog than our Labradoodle Belle. She gave us 12 wonderful years of unconditional joy and love from the time we picked her up as a wee puppy. When faced with the decision where ending her pain and suffering was upon us, we learned of Lap of Love. Under the most trying and difficult circumstance of losing a loved one, LOL did a very professional job. Moving to the performance of Dr.Mark Robert’s, he is certainly a rock star. Not only was he very technically astute, but was king caring, and a great communicator, he was a consummate profession who handled out difficult loss with dignity and decorum. We can’t say enough good things about how he handled to process with love and kindness. Our thanks, hearts, deep gratitude appreciation, and prayers go with Mark as he helps other hurting, grieving families when their beloved pet’s time has come. Go with God Mark.
She was so sweet during this hard time. She did not rush us, she gave us our time. As well as reassured us during the entire process. I am so thankful for her help during this time and if you get to pick a doctor I recommend her 100%.
