Dear Dr. Annie,

Thank you for caring. I am so glad your service was available to us.  Even though it was so very sad to see him go, it was so peaceful and compassionate. The vet who came to our house, I believe it was Julie, was very kind and understanding.

Alfredo was a 2 year old stray who found me and decided to hang around until I let him come in. I have not once regretted it. He stayed with us for 13 years and was a delightful and funny companion.

I am still very sad and miss my Alfredo every day, especially when I come home from work and at bedtime. He was always greeting me at the door and expressing his feelings loudly. He snuggled up to me at bedtime and kept me warm. It is so lonely without him, and the house feels so empty.
