Remembering Copper
Posted: Wednesday 28 March, 2007
We recieved a card through the mail today from our veterinary practice, following Copper's death. I though I was pretty together but the verse in it just broke me up. It's by Isla Paschal Richardson:
...Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me,
as if I were beside you...
I loved you so -
'twas Heaven here with you.

I don't know. We have two vet practices - one for the pets and one for the horse (our "pet" practice doesn't do equine work any more). Both are really good - patient, explain things and so on.
Could it be because we could just go elsewhere? Or because we pay them? When Cass was diagnosed with a heart murmur, there was no waiting list - it was "when would suit you to see the cardiologist?" Or maybe animals and their owners are better patients than humans.

What a thoughtful sweet Vet you have! Our Vet here in LaPine made a paw print for us out of plaster, just before our dog passed away. It is good to know they are caring even after death!!

Well.... that got the waterworks flowing but in a good way. We still talk about our old boys like that so I had a flood of happy thoughts washed in with tears. Lovely verse & a kind thought from the vets. Why is it that vets have a better 'bed side' manner than many doctors?
