When a beloved family pet passes, kids who are away are often hit hard…

“I learned on a phone call that our dog Nessie had to be put down. I was in my final year of college, half a country away. Like many who have experienced this part of the pet ownership journey, I couldn’t have predicted how profoundly the loss of our family dog would affect me. At once, all of Nessie’s little quirks came to mind, in clear, painful focus. I couldn’t believe I would never experience her, again..."

At first glance, this looks like the beginning to a very familiar scene: a large dog chases a frantic, scurrying chipmunk all around the yard. Not so, with Yuri, the four year old German Shepherd and his furry counterpart...

"I remember losing my...dog..cat...it was one of the saddest times of my life.." is often the response upon hearing that I provide grief counseling to individuals and families who have lost or are losing a beloved pet. This week, I met with the devoted, caring staff of Boston Animal Hospital to let them know that there is such a service. (www.doverpetloss.com) My vision; to provide support and regard for anyone going thru this difficult process, will be realized by others knowing this service exists. A special thank you to Dr. Jeff and Erin for seeing the need and for their appreciation and compassion.

Friends and neighbors, Please, Please do not let your pets out alone! This summer, on our street, we have lost to coyotes or fisher cats, countless cats and small dogs. In each case, an unsuspecting pet owner let their 4-footed out (especially dangerous at dawn or in the evening)....and that was the end. Usually it happens very fast: they are watching you and your habits and just waiting to grab your beloved pet. Tragically, we lost our Bill in August. Our neighbor watched in horror while a coyote in 3 seconds, grabbed her little dog. Miraculously, her larger dog chased the predator and he dropped the little guy. Injuries were survived and this little dog is alive and well, though terrified.
The list goes on. Please spread the word. Avoid this heartbreaking experience; don't consider your pet will be the exception!
