Yesterday with the help of Dr. Sy from Lap of Love, I said “I will see you again’ to my little Tahiti. She hadn’t been with me for even two months, but her sweet soul left an indelible mark on us all. She was left at Miami Dade Animal Services by her family at 15 …

My sweet Ethel crossed the bridge yesterday afternoon with the assistance of Dr. Jordan from Lap of Love Veterinary Hospice. True to her spirit, although she had been slowly slipping away for more than a few days and I was watching her like a hawk as I wasn’t even sure if she was breathing …
