A Wonderful Unexpected Gift
 

When one of my puppies Yoda was really sick and nothing I was doing was helping I contacted my vet and found an Angel on the other end. Her name was Beth. She took my little man and did everything she could for over a week to get him healthy. Every 2 hours she was up feeding him. Had every vet check him out that she could get her hands on. They finally diagnosised him with a liver shunt and his skull bones were not growing together. They put him on medication and said that he would not live to see his 3 month birthday. She called me crying. She did everything for this little guy. She called me and said that I can come and pick him up so that he can spend the time with his littermates or I could have him put down right away. Ofcoarse I could not put him down right away. He was my/our baby.

I brought him home knowing what the out come would be and praying that they were wrong. Every 4 hours he had to have medicine and every 8 he had to be tubed. After a week home with me having fun with his littermates I knew that it was time. Monday morning I called and let her know that I was going to bring him in. She said that she would be there later that day to be with him and asked me not to be. I cried so hard when I signed the papers saying that I was going to extinguish my babies life, handed over my baby and then ran out of the vets office in tears.

Beth called me later on that night to let me know that he had a peaceful crossing over the rainbow bridge. She also said that she upgraded Yoda's cremation to private, bought me a necklace, herself a keychain to hold Yoda's ashes in and asked if that would be okay. I bursted out in tears and was speechless. All I could say was "Thank you."

So here is the necklace from mine and Yoda's Angel, Beth. Enjoy.

I did not know that you lost him. I'm so sorry. I was away for most of the week. The necklace is lovely, what a wonderful gift from a special woman.

What an amazing woman and an incredible gift.

As for you, all I can say is thanks. Thanks for taking the time to share your joys and sorrow throughout this ordeal. I smiled and cried right along with you.

What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it. So sorry for your loss.

Beth sounds like a really special person! I'm so sorry for your loss! The necklace is absolutely beautiful--what a wonderful gift.

How wonderful that you had such a special Angel helping you through this terrible time. What a special gift she gave you.

I'm so sorry:cry: Yoda was a lucky pup to have such caring Mommies:love:

The necklace is beautiful!

I did not know either, that you lost the little guy. I am so sorry and what a special person Beth is. The necklace is beautiful.

What a wonderful Vet and a true animal lover.

I am so sorry for your loss

I wish more vets had the compassion like that, lately they seem to just want your money not what's best for our babies.

Wow what a nice thing to do

Oh Sharon, That is so beautiful. I'm so glad you have this keepsake of your little Yoda. The heart pendant is so fitting I know he will always be in your heart. You did such a special thing for him, and I know it was not easy, we all know you are a very giving person and he was so lucky to have you. I hope you can smile when you look at it.

Sharon I am so, so sorry for the loss of little Yoda. I know how hard it must be but thank you for sharing your story. I am glad that you had an amazing angel of a vet to help you through the agony of having a sick puppy and then losing him. She sounds like a true angel of mercy and I wish every vet were like her.

Your necklace is a wonderful keepsake and reminder of the love you have for Yoda. How sweet of Beth to give it to you.

It's never easy losing a pet but know that we are here for you to help you get through this very hard time in your life.

God Bless.
