Dear Dr. Forslund,
Thank you so very much for the courageous service you provide. Being a vet is hard enough, but going to someone’s home and helping a family get through something like this is beyond brave, and I commend you for it. I’m not sure I’d have the fortitude you showed last night as you held my hand while I bawled like a father losing a child. Words cannot express how grateful I am that Dolly was able to lie on my lap, eating turkey slices when you finally put her to sleep. She must have been so happy in her final moments, not scared at all like when she has to go to the vet’s office. I will be recommending you to anyone who is in similar circumstances, such that their pets may depart under the best possible circumstances.
Again, our deepest thanks…

Oh my little Sader-Doo
Our life was better because of you.
And all the other dogs would know
“The Dogfather” was she who ran the show
Sonny, MJ, Jackson, Sissy too
And most of all your Dolly doo
Ricky once got on your case
Till you put him in his place
Your mother was so proud of you
Because deep inside she always knew
That you and her were just the same
Both your spirits no one could tame
Dolly sat on you, you didn’t mind
Deep in your heart so always kind
Where you’ll go there’s plenty of food
And we’ll always miss your attitude
But now you shake and are in pain
And all our help is just in vain
Say hi to Dolly, Sissy and little Sonny
The way you played was always funny
Your heart shall be forever free
Our little family now down to three
And so you sleep with one last kiss
Forever and ever it’s you we’ll miss
