“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
We recently said goodbye to our beloved Osito, a 14-year-old terrier who was family in every sense of the word. Choosing in-home euthanasia was one of the hardest decisions we have ever made, and Dr. Sam made it one of the most beautiful. She arrived with such calm, gentle energy. She was kind and unhurried, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cared, about Osito, and about us. She gave him the most peaceful, dignified goodbye, and she held space for our grief with so much compassion. She also took the time to make paw print impressions in quick-dry material and gathered small locks of his hair, one for each of us. Those keepsakes mean everything. It was such a thoughtful, loving gesture that showed she understood this was not just a loss, but a goodbye for a whole family. And when it was time, she placed Osito in the most beautifully decorated little basket adorned with flowers, and we carried him to the car for his final send-off. The hatchback was covered in a soft blanket and filled with flowers, with a flower garland along the outside of the car. She had created a beautiful, sacred space for him to rest, because she understood that he deserved to be placed somewhere lovely. It was one of the most tender things I have ever witnessed. Osito was surrounded by love until his very last moment, and that is because of Dr. Sam. If you are facing this heartbreaking but sacred goodbye with your pet, I cannot recommend Lap of Love - and Dr. Sam - enough. They will take care of your whole family.
Dr. Butler made a very hard thing a little easier. I am grateful for her compassion and reassurance as I said goodbye to my sweet boy. In the handwritten card I received in the mail, she had remembered the names of my other two pets and included them in her note. As we grieved the missing member of our family, it meant a lot that she acknowledged them, too. Thank you.
Miss Emma - we are all so blessed to have you in our lives. We were so lucky to have you come for Dozer, and even LUCKIER you came for Persia. Your overwhelming love and devotion to these animals is obvious, and your gentle care and attention to them in their last moments is what makes you the most amazing human being I have had the joy of meeting. I hope to not see you again very soon, but when that time does come again, you are the only woman we want to take care of our family. We truly do love you and the services you have provided for us!!
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the kindness, compassion and professionalism. Dr. Katie showed while helping Dale peacefully cross the rainbow bridge at home. Your gentle care made an incredible difficult day a little easier to bear. Being able to say goodbye to Dale in the comfort of my own home was a gift. I will always be thankful for your patience, understanding and genuine compassion brought comfort to both Dale and me on one of the hardest moments I’ve faced. Thank you for treating Dale with such dignity and respect and for helping her pass peacefully. Your kindness will never be forgotten with heartfelt appreciation. 💜 In loving memory of Dale 💜
