Losing Troy came out of the blue. He was playful, funny, and a total ham. He and I had an extraordinary relationship. But over a small space of time , I saw the light, and playfulness leave his eyes...replaced by fear, and uncertainty. He showed signs of discomfort, and confusion. Gradually, then suddenly, there we were. I do not believe he would have survived another week. I am very grateful to him for bravely staying with us until you came.
I do believe Troy gave us the gift, allowing us to let him go. As if he said to us, the show is over. Good night , Gracie! We all got it, and that's what has allowed us to heal.
Somehow, it has not been as difficult as we imagined. We picture Troy enjoying his healthy new life, wherever he may be!! and that includes an occasional fortune cookie from the Chinese take out!! :)
I wanted to thank you again personally from our family ... and most especially Troy for providing a gentle 
transition to him on Sept 14th. He was a big dog with a big personality and his presence is missed in so many ways!! yet we talk of his passing with gratitude, and how he recognized your arrival that day as his “exit”. It was a remarkable moment for us to witness his calm surrender.
Every now and then, we are sure we feel him around. I know he is here when that patch of morning sunlight finds his favorite spot in the kitchen.
Thank you again for your calm and compassionate service at a difficult time. Peaceful Paws presented us with a lovely cedar box and it was good to welcome Troy “home”.
Please feel free to contact me as a reference for future clients--I would be happy to share our story with them.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Eileen Ouweleen
