Kody was an angel and touched both of our lives. I miss him soooo much. Kody is/was such a beautiful pup - he was such a good boy. Often I think of the wonderful memories and the pain of his absence will go away. Other times, I pray and stay in gratitude. If I am grateful for all the years spent with Kody, it makes it difficult to be so sad. There are some days I sit under the lemon tree in the back yard (one of Kody's favorite places to rest in the shade) and have myself a good cry just because I am missing him. In the past 15 years I can't tell you how many sunsets Kody, Bob and I watched. To have Kody leave us after watching a sunset and spending a sad but beautiful day together, we couldn't have asked for a better ending. I doubt Kody would have wanted it any different. I really had a difficult time with the thought of driving Kody to the veterinarian's office. I felt as if he would get excited going for a ride (as he always did) and knowing it was going to be his last ride felt like I was betraying him. Having Kody leave us in his own home after a beautiful day, was Kody not waking up in the morning after a night of sleep.
I prayed Kody would leave us Peacefully, during his sleep - - - While sleeping on his favorite bed with his favorite pillow, surrounded by the Spirit and Love of family and of a home.
Our prayers were answered...
We believe in what you are doing and we believe in you. We are forever grateful for your courage in following your dreams and passion.
I have to add, your fee was only $100.00 more than having to take Kody to the vet. For some, this is much money. But considering the comfort and Peace that you offer by allowing an animal to pass in their own environment - your services are priceless. You gave us the time we needed prior to giving Kody his final shot. Never did I feel rushed, hurried or uncomfortable in any way. You even stayed and gave us your time while in our home to view some pictures of Kody and his family. You were interested in knowing more about Kody and listened to our stories. This helped us to speak about him and honor his memory.
It was also wonderful to listen to you share about your family and furry friends. We enjoyed getting to know you. You're a very beautiful lady. Your spirit, compassion and love for not only animals but people too, reflects in your actions. Thank you so much for offering your professional services and most of all for offering your love, compassion and comfort during a very difficult time.
Hugs and Love,
Karin and Robert
