Everyone there always told me what a good boy I was when I got shots and stuff. I tried to be good because I knew I would get a cookie and maybe a belly rub! (Tell Dr. Curt I am sorry that I tried to bite him that one time, but God said it wasn't my fault because I was under the influence of anesthesia).
When I got sick recently with cancer you guys were really good to me and my mom & dad. Even though my mom & dad were really upset about having to cut off my front leg, I'm glad you did because it didn't hurt after that. The only thing I was worried about was whether I would be able to walk ok because I had a bad knee. I didn't want to try at first, but a few days after the surgery I was at the clinic and Velvet took me out back, She used the sling and showed me that I could walk, even with my bad knee. It didn't take me very long after that to figure the rest of it out. You should have seen the look on my mom's face when I ran down the outside steps about 10 days after my surgery!
My dad built me a ramp outside the front door so it would be easier for me to go in and out, and also if I fell down it would be in the soft dirt and not the gravel out back. It's a good thing too, because I did take a couple of falls, but my dad was always right there to help me up if I needed. When I was doing chemotherapy, all the staff at the clinic would come and say hi to me and give me pets and rubs. I was never afraid and I was always happy to come to the clinic. Even though the chemo made me feel kinda icky for a day, it was worth it, especially when I got cookies with cheese! Even though the cancer came back, you guys were so good to me and made sure I was hardly ever in pain.
My lat couple of days were a little rough because I was hard to breathe, but I let mom & dad know that I was tired an ready to go to heaven. You came to my house and sent me to sleep in my mom's arms. Thank you for helping me and helping my mom & dad through a hard transition. Even though I miss my mom & dad I am happy. I have my friends who came before me, all the best food I can eat and best of all, I have my leg back and I never fall down! Thanks again for being the best Vet ever!
PS. Please take good care of my brother Canelo. He can have my cookies when he comes to see you.
