Roxxy

Dear Dr Annie,

Thank you so much for helping our saying goodbye to Roxxy to be a memorable and compassionate time.  You made us feel so much more at ease at what was going to occur and you were so very patient with us. I felt as if I wanted to wait all day and night you would have stayed right there with us. You made her last day so very comfortable not just for us humans but for her too. Thank you for the gift that you brought to us - your care and compassion. And LOVE the paw print - a true treasure.

Roxxy had an incredible life of almost 17 years (therefore the extra X for extra special). Roxxy was found on the street in 2000 which is when we adopted her and she never stopped getting tons of love from that day onward and she will continue to feel that love.

Kobe

Dr. Annie,
I do want you to know that you made the experience 100% easier for me and for that I am grateful. It was and still is one of the most heart wrenching things I have ever experienced but I can thank the spirits that intervened for bringing to me you, Dr Annie Forslund.  I cannot attempt to express the peace you were able to give us both.  We were one.  Together my baby girl Kobe and I hung on to all of our lives past and could only see a forever-together future.   If you ever find yourself wondering what to do, contact Home Pet Euthanasia and if you’re fortunate enough to have Dr. Forslund by your side, you’ll know it was meant to be.

Ruby

Dr Annie,

Kathy and I would like to thank you for making Ruby's transition so peaceful. Dr. Meg came and was very compassionate and she gently told us everything she was doing and what to expect. Ruby was surrounded by her beloved pack. We couldn't think of a more loving and compassionate way to say a final farewell. 

We miss Ruby. She was with us for almost 15 years. Her presence is missed, but we were lucky to have her for so long. xoxo Ruby

Gratefully,

GG

Dear Dr. Forslund,

I cannot thank you enough Dr. Forslund and your staff for your service.  I feel very fortunate to have found it.  It provides the owner to safely see their pet into their next journey, lovingly and serenely.

GG was only seven and I had hope to have her for a lot longer.  The time we had was great whether it was throwing the ball in the back yard or letting her stick her head out  the sunroof  for car  rides.   GG had a nick name which was “Pony” because she was such a big dog.  We could always count on finding who ever knock on the door at the curb due to her loud commanding bark...

Buster

Hi Dr. Annie,

You and your staff provided a wonderful service. What a wonderful gift to give a beloved pet, to die comfortably at home. Dr. Meg was fantastic! She was compassionate, professional, and made the process comfortable for both me and my lovely little boy, Buster. 

Buster was a rescue cat, and my constant companion for over ten years. While I miss Buster every single day - and fight back tears even now - I’m am so very grateful for the time we shared together. I take comfort in knowing he not only had a good life, but also a good death. Thank you, Home Pet Euthanasia, for such a dignified and deserving send off for my little boy Buster. 

With regards,

Munch

I will always choose to release my loved pets from suffering with Dr. Forslund. Being able to spend those last minutes comforting my sweet baby surrounded by friends and in the comfort of home makes it such a special farewell. NEVER easy but I get to remember that my sweet boy was cared for with compassion by Dr. Annie and her team. I miss you terribly Munch, so does Kat and Daisy. There is a spot missing in my heart that can't be replaced but I know you can run free now big guy.

Roxy

Hello Dr. Forslund,

We want to personally thank Home Pet Euthanasia as well as Tracy Renard and you, Dr. Forslund. We were very impressed with the support and patience the entire Home Pet Euthanasia team had with us. Thank you again for the wonderful job you did with Roxy and allowing her to pass in such a loving way with us by her side, it really meant the world to us. Thank you for what you do. You are so appreciated.

Roxy was our beautiful Belgian Malinois. While we have had many dogs in out lives who we love, she was one special and unique dog. We still miss her everyday but are happy to have her urn in the living room. We will always miss her but never forget her...

Rufio

Hello Dr. Annie,

Dr. Meg was so WONDERFUL!!! She was so very kind, even her tone of voice made what she had to do say better.   I appreciate the hug she gave me when she left. The other thing I would like to tell you is I received a card from Dr. Meg a week or so afterwards and that was just another touch of class that your services extended and it was truly appreciated.

Rufio was pure love and never had a mean bone in his body. They say that we rescue them but I think it’s the other way around. Our lives were so enriched. I was grateful for being able to have Rufio’s last moments to be in his own comfy bed with all that loved him and his big beaver tail wagging.

Thank you again!
 
Sincerely,

Isabella

Dear Dr. Annie, 

You have such an amazing gift of compassion. You have the exact words to say at the time they're needed. You're so right to say that we'll always wish we could do more for our fur loves. Thinking about that has brought me some peace. 

Isabella, my sweet and silly girl. Momma and Bosco miss you so very much. Thank you for bringing limitless joy and happiness to our hearts. All I can say now is that I can't wait to see you again. It's a good thing we get to store up treasures in heaven so there's something to look forward to. And a special thank you to Dr. Annie for arriving late at night ...

Forever in our hearts,

Lucy

Dear Dr Forslund,

Thank you for allowing us to say goodbye to our dear girl in the comfort of our hotel room. The work you do is so important. I am sure that there are many people, despite their profound gratitude, who find it difficult to see through their pain to follow-up with you. I know it has taken me a great deal of time. Thank you again for the good, loving work you do. I was so grateful to find you on Yelp, and even more grateful to get such a quick response.

Lucy had always loved the beach, so we planned to stay at Huntington Dog Beach for a day or two... well, she was positively re-energized and we were all having so much fun that we just stayed... and stayed... we stayed for three weeks!!! I figured that this stay cost way less than the chemo treatments and was much more therapeutic. We knew that Lucy was nearing the end of her life. After a year long battle with urinary tract cancer, she had stopped responding to chemo. 

Warmly,

Gracie

Dr. Annie,

You helped us through this sad time in our lives.  Thank you for your professional service.  I really do think you care.  I would highly recommend you and team. 

My best friend Gracie, of almost 12 years, was the greatest companion a person could ever have. She enjoyed a happy, healthy life with us. We were inseparable from puppyhood until her last breath. She has crossed over the rainbow bridge. Gracie was the best! I loved her and she loved me. She will be missed immensely.

“Bye Gracie”, until we meet again, “you be a good girl, I love you”!

Roxy

Dr. Annie, you are unique and use your God given talents by turning them into blessings for those of us having to undergo this experience in all its finality. You were the most caring, kind and gentle person I have ever met. I had as much time as needed to say goodbye to my very precious pooch, easing all the pain.  Thank you for being so reassuring and compassionate. Thank you is so insufficient for the wonderful work you do, Dr. Annie.

Roxy, my sweetie pie, I love you so very much it seems you are still alive as I think of you so very often each day and night. It meant the world to me to be able to say goodbye to Roxy in her home-our home. As it was, we said goodbye out in the backyard. After all, I was saying goodbye to my sweet and loving partner. I'll never forget what a young man said to me when Roxy was a puppy "Your dog is looking into my soul." And she could and she did. Amen!

Peter

Dr. Annie, thank you all for what you do.  I also want to thank Dr. Meg as she was comforting in this awful time.  She was a friend I didn't know I had.  I was devastated when I had to do this to my baby.  Dr. Meg made it bearable. I would not have gotten through this without your wonderful and caring home program. I did not want to let my baby go, but we can't keep them here forever.

My cat was very ill and has never been anywhere but in the home for 19 years.  The last 10 years were exclusively in the house, he had never been in a crate either and I was devastated to have to take him somewhere to kill him.  This service saved my sanity and gave my cat the love he so needed to leave this world.  Thank you Dr. Annie, Dr. Meg and staff.

Cinnamon

Dr. Annie Forslund was truly compassionate and caring with Cinnamon and us-the pet parents. She spent time listening to my husband telling her stories of our "little one". I don’t think I’m imaging the glow of light and compassion on Dr. Annie’s face.  She gave us the precious gift of lovingly saying goodbye to our little girl!  We’re forever grateful.

Cinnamon was our world! Our little girl had a rough life before we adopted her at 6 years old and our mission was just to love her.  I had no idea how much she would give us in return and change our lives forever. I called her my husband’s second wife because for eight years she followed him everywhere and was his constant companion.  Dr. Annie told her she was a good girl and was so brave.  Cinnamon wagged her tail and went to lay down where she slept at night by the fireplace and waited for us.  I got on my stomach to lay next to and spoke to Cinnamon as we shared our final moments together.

Buffy

Hi Dr. Annie,

Thank you for your kindness and expertise. Being at home made things easier for me.  My dog was comfortable and at ease.  I could hold him and make a small ceremony.  It was perfect, as I expected it would be.  Thank you!

Buffy came to us when he was about a year and a half after being in 4 different homes. We had the pleasure of his company for over 15 years. He was lovable and devoted, always well behaved. Though he is gone from our lives, he is forever in our hearts...
