Memorials

Dr. Annie,

You helped us through this sad time in our lives.  Thank you for your professional service.  I really do think you care.  I would highly recommend you and team. 

My best friend Gracie, of almost 12 years, was the greatest companion a person could ever have. She enjoyed a happy, healthy life with us. We were inseparable from puppyhood until her last breath. She has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Gracie was the best! I loved her and she loved me. She will be missed immensely.

“Bye Gracie”, until we meet again, “you be a good girl, I love you”!

Dr. Annie, you are unique and use your God given talents by turning them into blessings for those of us having to undergo this experience in all its finality. You were the most caring, kind and gentle person I have ever met. I had as much time as needed to say goodbye to my very precious pooch, easing all the pain.  Thank you for being so reassuring and compassionate. Thank you is so insufficient for the wonderful work you do, Dr. Annie.

Roxy, my sweetie pie, I love you so very much it seems you are still alive as I think of you so very often each day and night. It meant the world to me to be able to say goodbye to Roxy in her home-our home. As it was, we said goodbye out in the backyard. After all, I was saying goodbye to my sweet and loving partner. I'll never forget what a young man said to me when Roxy was a puppy "Your dog is looking into my soul." And she could and she did. Amen! 

Dr. Annie Forslund was truly compassionate and caring with Cinnamon and us-the pet parents. She spent time listening to my husband telling her stories of our "little one". I don’t think I’m imaging the glow of light and compassion on Dr. Annie’s face.  She gave us the precious gift of lovingly saying goodbye to our little girl!  We’re forever grateful.

Cinnamon was our world! Our little girl had a rough life before we adopted her at 6 years old and our mission was just to love her.  I had no idea how much she would give us in return and change our lives forever. I called her my husband’s second wife because for eight years she followed him everywhere and was his constant companion.  Dr. Annie told her she was a good girl and was so brave.  Cinnamon wagged her tail and went to lay down where she slept at night by the fireplace and waited for us.  I got on my stomach to lay next to and spoke to Cinnamon as we shared our final moments together.

Dr. Annie was gentle, patient, kind and genuinely intent that the euthanasia of our dear Jake would be a beautiful, peaceful event. We could not have had this sad occasion handled more beautifully. Thank you for all of your help.

Jake, the greatest gift of love to my parents and the entire Alexander family, was a bouncing, 110 lb, skinny, yellow lab who needed a home after his owner tragically passed away. Dogs are not pets in our family. They are like siblings and fur children. Jake’s intelligence amazed us. We will all miss you and love you Jake. Some day, our family will gather in HEAVEN. The reunion will be joyous.

Dear Dr. Annie,

Your services were professional and very caring and I will tell everyone I know with a pet, about you, and I will recommend you highly. Thank you for allowing my Kobe to leave this world without fear or pain, or stress of being at the vets office. Everything you did has been thoughtful and considerate and lets me know how much you care for your clients and how they are dealing with their loss.

Kobe was my best friend and enriched my life for almost 16 years. He made everybody smile, from young to old, men, women and children.  He could make big, burly men turn into grinning little boys with higher voices than normal. He loved everyone and welcomed touching, petting and all the nice comments, and everyone loved him. I was blessed to have had him for as long as I did. I miss him so much. Until we meet again, my love........

Thank you Dr. Annie.  Love and Hugs to you too!

Hi Dr Annie,

You and your entire team are true Angels! You cannot go wrong with this service. It has helped our entire household grieve and recover from such a huge loss of our Tango. You and your staff helped us through immensely and we cannot thank you enough. Dr Lily was totally amazing, created incredible peace, validated and coached us through the entire experience and allowed for the perfectly calm environment in our home. I have told my vet about your services, all of my clients and ANYONE I know who is pet owner about what Angels you all are.

Tango’s companion for his entire life was able to be a part of the evening and she has only improved in her demeanor afterwards, since she knows her younger mate has journeyed on. Tango, you are with us always.

With best regards,

Bless you Dr. Annie! You are an angel from heaven. You and your staff were wonderful! Your service should be awarded for your help, kindness, understanding!!! Thank u sooooo much!!!! You HELPED me when I really needed it!!!!!

Leo was a loving boy. We miss him so much. Knowing we could say goodbye from  home is special experience. I miss Leo a lot but I know he's ok in heaven. 

Dear Dr. Forslund,

I wanted to be sure to thank you and your amazing team for your kindness and service. You are very compassionate and professional people who recognize how difficult loss is for us pet parents yet are able to shepherd us through with grace.

My house is no longer a home without my sweet pooches. I lost them both this year: Rio on February 21 and Sadie on June 12. I miss my babies so much but am grateful that they each transitioned peacefully. I continue to cherish the many memories I have of our beautiful life together.

Forever Grateful,
