Guinness is due for his shots...

[MyFirstDaxie]

I got home today, let Butter out, and went to check the mail... There was a post card from the vet I took Guinness to to get his shots last year... Just a friendly reminder he was due for a yearly checkup, and his booster shots.

I thought this was getting easier, but my heart is breaking just as hard as it was the day I let him go.

My poor baby. I miss you so much.

Oh Brittney I know. Thank gosh both of our vets knew when we lost Tinker Belle. :hug2: to you

I still get flyers from Petland, years later. I've called and threatened to sue them for something...cant remember what I came up with. I've even gone into the store and raised all kinds of hel!. I dont think it is ever easier when it enters your mind...The sad part of Charlie doesnt come into my thoughts as much anymore, but when it does, I'm a basket case. Its been almost 3 years and when I read about Guiness going to the bridge I ended up crying all day and seeing my therapist. Its more a matter of the number of times it enters your mind, the feeling never has gotten easier for me.

You poor thing, bless your heart!!!

For a while it seemed one step forward, two steps back. The little remainders we find can really bring a tear or two. If you didn't cry, then you wouldn't care....this shows you were a good momma and had a great relationship with your dog. You have a good heart!!!

Give Butter a big hug from Gretel, ok? She still misses Oscar......wish we lived closer so our furgirls could play a little bit.....

I had the same thing happen with Sydney. I got a post card from his doggie dermotologist saying he had to come back for his yearly check up. I called them and said that Syd had passed and I was very upset by the card. They actually ended up sending me flowers and a sympathy card. It thought that was nice.

It's still so hard. I'm afraid that I won't remember all the things about Syd. Like the feel of his velvety fur, the feel of him snuggled in the small of my back, I feel like I'm going to forget the little things and that breaks my heart. Syd was my boy for 14 years and we went through everything together. I feel like if I forget any little detail, then I would be doing his memory a disservice.

:hug2: I know it's upsetting...but they probably didn't really have a way of knowing what happened. I would just call them and let them know that he passed away, and as the PP said, that you were upset by the postcard.

At work one of our "branch" businesses sends letters from Santa...which includes letters periodically throughout the year to check in and make sure they're being good. Well, it turned out one letter that was sent last year was intended for a little boy who had tragically passed away. His mother was very upset, understandably, but we had no way to know since she had not requested that the letters be canceled (the last thing on her mind I'm sure). This kind of thing probably happens more than we know. :(

That stinks and makes it worse. But like some have said I am sure it was an oversight. Call or emall them and ask to please not receive reminders about Guinness. :hug2:

[MyFirstDaxie]

I'll have to give them a call and let them know, I guess I should call all the vets we have seen, because I was just totally floored by the postcard. It was like being kicked in the stomach, so sudden and severe, I just felt ill with grief. For some reason I can't bring myself to throw it away though... I don't know why, I just feel like I should keep it? I'm so messed up.

Ironically, I got a card from the vet yesterday also saying it was time for Petey's vaccinations.
