Dr. Lawrence E. Blum

Dear Dr. Blum, It's been a year since you left us and you are still greatly missed. I often think of you with fond memories.

Our hearts are so saddened by the passing of Dr. Blum. We traveled long distances to have him treat our furry family members, Barkley and Zorro. He was such a gentle, kind and giving man. He truely loved what he did and it showed. We will hold dear in our memories the humorous discussions shared with Dr. Blum about our spoiled boys. Our condolences to his family and staff.

When I had to help my 21 year old cat go, Dr. Blum not only performed the procedure outdoors under a tree at my request, he lay down on the ground beside my cat and I as he administered the shot. That kind of caring comes once in a lifetime and I am so honored and grateful that I had the opportunity to know such a loving and gifted man.

Dear Alice and Wonderful Staff,
I have to add just a few comments after visiting the clinic yesterday.
It was time for Toby to visit Alice again, (my 10 year old Honey Bear cat). He's a bit shy to say the least, and the girls deal with him, wonderfully.
It's only the second time I've been to the clinic since the passing of Dr. Blum. And I just have to say, it's just not the same. Not to hear HIS LAUGH, OR GET ONE OF HIS HUGS WITH UPLIFTING WORDS TO MAKE YOU FEEL REALLY...

It has taken me quite awhile to write in your guest book Dr. Blum. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of you. I look at your passing as a great loss to all that knew you and loved you. My respect for you will never die. I think back to the good things that you did for me and my "puddy tats". All the special care that you gave them and made me feel that my cat was the most beautiful cat in the world. Your hugs, smiles, and wit always made me feel good. I remember one day when I had...

We will miss Dr. B, as our family has always called him! He took care of each and every one of my cats, and did a fine job, too. The last time I had a conversation with him was about my cat, who had swallowed a frog in August of 2008, after blood work and medication, we found she threw it up 2 days after seeing him! But it was a real joy to see him that one last time, and even have a phone conversation later, reassuring me that she "should be all right soon." And now we know that Dr. Blum...

I am so sorry to hear of Dr. Blum's passing. I feel like my animals will never have a vet with the same love, compassion,thoughtfulness and kindness that we have had for 35 years. When they were too large to put on the table he got down on the floor beside them. What a gentlemen he was. When you said, "Thank you",he always said my pleasure. He made you feel so good about the care you were giving your furry friends. My sympathy and prayers go out to his family and staff.

Just add my name to the hundred others who will write in Dr. Blum's memory.
As I've told many people over the years, I had the best vet in the world! No question about it. Once when I had taken in another stray cat to the clinic, my cousin was with me. Kenny told me later that Dr. Blum was so sincere, so caring, kind of like a "country vet", who used to make house calls. He would get right up on that stainless table and talk to you, while checking your pet. He had such a way with...

I knew you were very ill but I always told myself that you would get better. You gave my "little girl" Shania such truly loving care. You sat on the floor and clippled her nails and gave her shots. You and she sat side by side on chairs in the waiting room (she always made herself right at home and hopped onto a chair) and talked a little before taking her back for whatever reason she was there. When you learned that she was diabetic, you and the girls were always right there for her. Gosh,...
