Hi,
Dr. Thomas turned a sad day, when I had to say goodbye to my dear cat Daisy, into a sad, yet beautiful day. Her warmth and kindness and calm guidance made all the difference.
I appreciated her discussing urns before the goodbye, her firm but gentle guidance - not asking too many questions - her letting me take all the time I needed to say goodbye, her clipping a bit of Daisy’s fur for me to keep, her placing Daisy in a lovely woolen basket and letting me help carry the basket to the passenger seat of Dr. Thomas’ car.
One thing I’d like to pass along to other grieving pet owners is a quote I read somewhere online: “It’s okay to go on a good day.” This saying helped me because the hardest part is deciding when is the right time. It brought me a lot of comfort. Just because Daisy seemed to like lying in the sun for a moment, didn’t mean that she wasn’t suffering.
I was also grateful for there being several appointments available. I made my appointment with Dr. Thomas that very morning .
The people at the cremation service that Codapet uses, West Coast Memorial Services, were also kind and treated me with dignity.
I can’t recommend Dr. Thomas highly enough! You have my deepest gratitude.
