Sidd was the most loving, most caring, and most loved friend. We adopted him as a pup from a Seattle pet shelter. He was more than a handful in the beginning and many a time I questioned what we were thinking to get a dog! But, as the years progressed, we beared through it, and in return he beared with us! In his older age, he grew into the gentlest disposition. Sidd made us smile with a simple wag of his tail.
Sidd turned 10 years old in April of 2010. We marveled at how healthy he seemed for his age and felt he’d be with us forever. But as summer began, he started to have trouble walking and started eating less. We took him to the vet numerous times, tried to feed him all his favorites, but his condition continued to deteriorate. 
I had always thought that I would never euthanize a pet and would instead allow nature to take its course. But as Sidd continued to struggle in his last days, I could not stand the thought that he was suffering. He would not eat, would not go outside, and lay immobile in the same spot for countless hours. Taking him to the vet was ruled out immediately. The vet’s office scared Sidd terribly. We did not want Sidd’s last memories to be somewhere he did not feel happy or safe. Rarely do you research in-home euthanasia services in advance, and we were truly blessed to find Dr. Forslund at such a trying time. Dr. Forslund truly made a very difficult experience more bearable, and we can never thank her enough for it. Dr. Forslund was not only very knowledgeable and professional, but beyond compassionate. I strongly believe that in-home euthanasia is her calling – she was born to do this work.
It has been almost five months since Sidd has passed and our family misses Sidd dearly, but we take joy in all the happy memories we have and knowing he is at peace.
Miss You Sidd
With Much Love,
