“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
We had lost Titan in December of 2024, Rocky in February of 2026, and now Canelo. I was in disbelief, angry, and in denial. I wasn't ready to let go. Dr. breeze was lovely. She calmed me down, allowed me to share stories about Canelo, gave me plenty of time to mourn, and reminded me that what we had decided on was best for him ... he was in pain and I couldn't let him live that way anymore. She reminded me that I gave him a good life. To lose three dogs in less than 2 years has been the most difficult time of my life but Dr. Breeze was kind and sympathetic.
She was amazing. She had been at our home a year before to help us with the passing of our Titan. She understood that we were still mourning his loss and was patient and understanding.
There truly aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are for Dr. Cate from Lap of Love who came into our home and helped our sweet Andy gain his angel wings. Having to say goodbye to him was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do, but she brought such an incredible sense of peace, compassion, and gentleness into an unbearably painful moment. She never rushed us, explained everything with so much care, and treated Andy with the dignity and love he deserved. Most importantly, Andy was able to spend his final moments exactly where he belonged—at home, surrounded by the people who loved him, comfortable and peaceful. Helping an animal leave this world with dignity is such a special gift to give a family. We will forever be grateful that Andy’s goodbye was filled with love rather than fear. Thank you for taking such beautiful care of our boy and of our hearts that day.
We are grateful for Dr. Laurens wonderful help in this wrenching process which never seems to get any easier. Bruce and I were both amazed at her patience, compassion and how seamlessly she handled everything, especially since we had such a big girl! Thanks again for everything.
