Honouring our beloved furry companions through their journey

11/24/2012

 
Recently, a friend sent me a link to a letter written by Fiona Apple to her fans regarding the cancellation of her tour so that she could remain at home with her beloved dog, Janet, through Janet's final journey.  I have to admit, I had never heard of Fiona Apple until now, let alone any kind of familiarity with her music; however, her letter to her fans brought me to tears.

Our animal companions give of themselves completely, unconditionally, and with unbounded enthusiasm.  It is hard to describe the absolute joy created within this bond.  At the same time, we know that the time we have is finite and far too brief.  I have had the honour of being present in the months, weeks, and days leading up to both my own furry kids' transitions but also those of some of my customers beloved pets.

There is no way to describe what it feels like, before, during, and after our loved ones transition - there is the knowing look and gentle touch from those who have been there before.  From the moment we bring our loved once home from where ever we find eachother ... we know what awaits, yet wouldn't trade a single moment of the joy we share with our furry pals.

Here is Fiona's letter - it is worth the read.
