Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice & In-Home Euthanasia

I grew up in rural north Georgia on a 14-acre family farm where we raised cows, chickens, hogs, goats, and even peacocks. For a child who loved animals, it was paradise! My family is a funny mix of teachers and nurses, so I feel as though I was born with a medical calling and a desire to help people. Family dinners where my mom and my aunt would regale us with the latest graphic medical dramas they had encountered, while grossing out my cousins, were fascinating to me. It became obvious that veterinary medicine was my calling from a very young age. 

After graduating from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, I was a general practitioner in a busy companion animal clinic. My older patients really stole my heart. Give me a 12 year old chocolate lab quietly thumping her tail on the floor while she rolls over for belly rubs, or a 15 year old tabby cat who just wants to hang out in your lap and purr most of the day, and I melt. After we lost our 13-year-old dobie to a chronic disease in 2018, my passion for helping older pets was really cemented. Even as a veterinarian, what we went through trying to manage her was, at times, scary and overwhelming. Our sweet girl was able to have a peaceful passing at home and I feel it is truly my purpose to provide the type of serenity that we got to experience.
