"In February, I decided that my Zoe was super tired and that it was time for to go over the rainbow bridge.
Weeks prior I had made several call to Home Pet Euthanasia scheduling appointments and canceling appointments and sometimes all in the same day, several times. Never once did the staff tell me to stop calling and they were completely sympathetic to how difficult the decision was for me.
Dr. Lily came to my house in Feb for a Quality of Life Assessment to help me make the decision. All though I knew the signs were there, I did not want to see them. After another week of Zoe getting to do her normal routine with me at work and at home, her quality of life was declining rapidly and I didn't want to see her suffer in silence just to make me happy. Dr. Lily arrived and Zoe greeted her while wagging her tail. I wasn't pressured by time, the set up and preparations, of preparing me was gentle and compassionate. After the Euthanasia I was delirious with grief and Dr. Lily gave me the space to feel and mourn. I would not have wanted to have done this in any other way. As heart breaking as it was to put Zoe down, she went peacefully with love and light, in her own environment where she felt safe and loved. Thank you to all of you who helped me through this sad time and especially to Dr. Lily."
