As most of you know we lost our Dexter (11) to an illness in July. Well, when he was at the vet they did some tests, sonograms, etc. In one of the sonograms I immediately saw his little face and a few days after he died I contacted the vet to get that picture, but she never called me back. So, my husband called earlier this week and spoke with our vet about getting that for us and she won't give it to us. Don't get me wrong, we love her, she was very supportive with Dexter, etc....however, I feel like that is OURS and they have no need for it. He will not be back for treatment, we aren't in any legal situation with them (he was sick and they did all they could for him), we made the decision based on his quality of life to have him put to sleep.

As I told my husband, there were numerous sonogram pictures and I want just that one. I was really mad and hurt to know that they say we can't have that one picture. They will file that until their time frame has expired and then they will either send it to archives or destroy it. I have thought of writing a letter to her, I can't call or I may come across as a real b__tch if she tells me the same thing.

Am I being unreasonable? I don't actually "need" the picture but I would love to have it.

Merry Christmas to you and yours and may 2007 be the best year ever,
