Our Blessings R Many Donating Member | Dear Newmommy, It is wonderful to know there is such caring people as yourself. You are so appreciated. How so many times I wish for our Cassie that she could have left us in an easier way, that was one of the worst longest nights of my life, I can only pray that she was not aware of anything but that I was there and that she felt my love for her. Oh wow, it is so hard to give one up I have really had a difficult time getting over our loss. Thank you for being in this profession that you have chosen, I know how difficult it is for you and others, but thank you for being in the profession you are in and sending you ((((((((((Newmommy))))))))))))))'s Patti and Jack |

| I think working in a vets office would be hard because of the deaths you see. I think it would also be great though seeing sick animals get healthy

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I would really love to work in a vets office. But after how badly I cried and carried on when my husbands cocker Lady, was gently put to sleep - I doubt I can control my emotions. I was trying really hard to be strong for her but when her eyes closed ...I lost it. I literally sat on the floor and couldn't stop crying ....for hours....they had to walk me out.....even the vet called me the next day to see if I was ok. Lady and I were best friends. She was a special girl. |

the best thing you can do is love on everything that comes in there, and try to comfort them all, not matter what it is, how it looks, or what's being done to it. i found that my job was more for making the animal happy then assisting the vet. because if the animal was happy, it made the vet's job easier.

| I completely understand what you are feeling . Yesterday , I helped for a C-Section on a Bulldog . She had 6 pups , 2 were very difformed so the owner asked us to put them down . Sincerly , I prefer when I can help to save a life but sometimes we can't save them all . |

| Thank you newmommy for what you do. It takes a special person to do that....you are amazing. I am so thankful that you were there with that dog in it's final moments here on earth. It made me cry to read that. We just had to put our beloved Dexter to sleep July 10th and I can't imagine not being there with him. Thanks for the good you do -- the animals at your vet are blessed to have such a caring person there.

| First of all, it takes a very special person to do what you did and bless you for thinking the way you did with that dog - the last touch being one of love! The vet's office you work for knew what they were doing when they hired you - a caring, compassionate person! Please let us know about the other kitten.

| vet My old vet told me that one of the hardest parts of his job was when a pet was brought in to be put down AND it was young and healthy..the reasons were never justified. He would refuse, they would get mad and say they would find a vet who would. He talked one woman into giving him a silver poodle for his mother..the reason the woman wanted it put down is, she was moving to a condo with no pets and NO one would love and care for her dog like she ddi..strange kind o love??? She agreed my vet's mother would since she raised a vet!! LOL I never minded working with animals..it is some of the people I could not stand. |

| Thats awful I dnt understand why someone would put a perfectly healthy dog to sleep. I could understand if the dog was big and atacked someone but that would be the only good reason to me

| yeah but they do. thats what I was told before I even started that sometimes it kills you not to say anything to the owner but its not our place, the vets maybe, but not ours. The least we can do is comfort them. I have a feeling Im in trouble the first time a young one comes to pts. I hope they dont want him back and then I can just take him home and the owner will never know!!! Your welcome everyone, but I really dont do it for praise, I LOVE animals and I do it for them. I wouldnt want to die alone and Im sure they dont either. I will update on the kitten when I get home at 8pm tonight. I hope he is still there!!! have a great day everyone, Im off

| That has to be tough. But I bet it can be very rewarding also. There have to be more successes than losses. |

| You are truly a wonderful, caring, and special person to do the work you do. Not everyone is cut out for such a difficult and often times, emotionally draining job. Hats off to you for taking care of animals in need and loving them when they most need it.
