“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
When Dr. Kamilah walked in and I saw how Jager reacted to her presence, I knew I had made the right call. He immediately warmed to her in a way that made me feel like he was saying he trusted her and so should I. She made that horrible day a little easier and was respectful and gentle to my sweet boy.
There are no words for a loss like this. Our sweet Jackie Blue was truly one of a kind and our world will never be the same without her. But what a miracle it was to have known her and have her be a part of our lives. We will forever be grateful for that. When we realized our Jackie B was declining, a hospice doctor at Lap of Love helped us talk about her medical issues and what our options were and needed to be. It helped give us peace of mind with the decision we ultimately had to make. Dr. Jodie Joseph then came to help our sweet Jack Jack cross that rainbow bridge. As soon as Dr. Jodie walked in, she was a calming and compassionate presence in our time of grief - both for us and our other pets. She handled everything with the utmost care and kindness to help make all of us, especially our Jackie Blue, as comfortable as possible. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Jodie for allowing us to say goodbye to our girl while by her side and at home. While this situation is never stress free, Dr. Jodie calmly guided us through the process allowing us to focus on Miss Blue as she passed peacefully and with dignity over the rainbow bridge. Thank you, Dr. Jodie and Lap of Love for this service.
Dr. Ashley is such a special person. I'm so glad we chose Lap of Love and found her. She was compassionate and caring, taking time to answer all of our questions and explain everything to us. I especially appreciated her validating our decision, because it can be hard to know. She looked us in the eye and nodded as she agreed, "It's time." Those two little words removed so much of the guilt that I was feeling. This was one of the hardest days, but her presence and patience were an absolute blessing. Thank you, Dr. Ashley!
