Not sure what to say?

I walk into the vets and still expect to see you! You are dearly missed.

Dear Al & Girls,
A visit to the vet was a great excuse to see an old friend! Karel was a great vet, but I really thought of her as sewing, quilting, knitting, reading buddy! She was always there with the right perspective, whether it concerned an animal or a kid. I feel blessed to have called her friend.
I'll be praying for all of you
Sincerely,
Deb Tweedy and the rest of the Tweedy Family

When I heard the news, I felt a hero in my life had passed away. Dr. Vorel was one of the most caring persons I have ever met. When my cat Beardsy was dying Dr. Vorel gave me the tools and moral support to keep Beardsy comfortable all while trying to get her past her sickness. After a few months of weekly visits to Dr. Vorel, Beardsy died, and Dr. Vorel taught me a huge life lesson. Knowing when to say enough, and letting your pet pass on is and was a very difficult and personal event. After...
