Memorials

Dr. Annie,

Please know how remarkable you are and how grateful I am. I think of you often as I continue to think about my Roxy. I have been humbled by the lessons I learned that day. I thought I was stronger. I thought I knew what it was like to lose a pet. I knew nothing. I will never again judge people for their life and death choices, as you did not judge me. Dr Forslund, you will forever be in my heart. I thank you for caring Roxy Girl and for treating her with the love and respect she deserved.

Roxy always looked like she was a puppy. She had the most beautiful face I had ever seen. I did not realize that Roxy controlled almost every aspect of my life.....she knew how to get what she wanted. I miss her beautiful face. We miss you little Roxy. We still feel you and hear you. Daddy dreams about you. You brought so much joy and love to our family. We will never forget you.  I LOVE YOU ROXY GIRL.

Dr. Annie was so incredibly kind. She and her husband (we spoke to by phone) were compassionate, gentle, sincere and understanding. I would highly recommend this invaluable service to others.

What made things easier for us is having Tigger at home and not around a lot of strangers. It was so much more comforting to have her go at home surrounded by loved ones because in the end that's the best we can hope for ourselves. We didn't have to endure a hectic, emotional drive, visit a strange place or end her time with us in a cold environment. 

Thank you Dr. Forslund for helping us make Jonesy's last breaths comfortable and peaceful. The front office staff at my Vet's Office had heard nothing but wonderful things about your service. I would tell my veterinarian that you were wonderful. Thank you again for your kindness and professionalism during this difficult time. 

Jonesy was funny, sweet, loyal and a little sneaky.  We only had him just over 6 years but he left us with such sweet, warm and funny memories that he will make my heart smile forever! He was comfortable on his sofa. What a way to go!

Thank you for helping Cody to never have a bad day.  Dr. Meg was outstanding and her follow up call meant so much. The person we spoke with on the phone put us at ease and made us feel very comfortable and attended to. The compassion you have for us and Cody from beginning to end makes this very difficult time much easier for all of us.

From the first time we saw 10 month old Cody on Petfinder we knew there was something very special about this handsome boy whose nickname would be “the Nose” because of his handsome, big boy giant black nose.  Our sweet boy Cody is missed everyday but knowing that he is having a grand time and it was his time to bring his sweetness to the big playground in the sky.  The comments on Facebook, emails, flowers, texts, phone calls and hugs from all his friends is truly heartwarming and he will live on forever in so many hearts.  Thank you again for all you did for us.  You are the best!

Peace, Love & Malamutes.

Dear Dr. Forslund,

Dr. Meg was so respectful, kind, gentle and soft.  It was as if she had known Max all her life.  She was so caring and concerned about him.  I couldn’t have asked for anything more. When the time came to release Max, Dr. Meg came to us to shepard Max and me through the last of our journey together. 

Max, the love of my life was with me for 13 1/2 years, pretty old for a 90lb yellow lab. He was a Christmas gift from my oldest friend. Max was an exceptional dog.  We loved each other deeply, and took care of each other.

Dear Dr. Annie,

Though I'm sad over the loss of my special friend, Zoe, I can tell you that I'm so glad to have met you.  Your energy is pure and kind, and that you find sincere purpose in helping people get through difficult times. You far exceeded any hope I might have had. I can't thank you enough for being so patient and loving to us, and for showing us an immense kindness. You really do seem like an angel to me.

Zoe was the light of our life, a once-in-a-lifetime kind of girl. It's so quiet and different now without her. One wonderful special thing is that we got to take Zoe to the ocean. I hope these vivid memories never fail me and that I'm able to call upon them for the rest of my life.

With love,

Dear Dr Forslund,

Thank you to your services in making Echo feel at peace before I let her go. I am so happy about how peaceful she went in comparison to bringing her to a vets office where she would’ve been stressed. Your letters and follow-ups went far beyond what most places would do and are much appreciated.

Echo was my baby girl and she lived a very happy long life. She will be missed and can never be replaced. She will always be my baby girl.
