To Dr. Sippel, Dr. Oehmke and all staff:

Earlier today, I brought one of our two dogs, Abby, to be put to sleep. Abby has been a part of our family for about 12 years. We just felt the need to write you all a quick note to express our deep appreciation for the proffessional and compassionate manner in which you assisted me this afternoon. You have always provided our pets with outstanding medical care, and today was no exception. In her last days, Abby lost control of her bladder, was unable to walk unassisted, and was in sigificant pain. Her eye sight and hearing have been declining for some time now. Additionally she has some rather large tumors. Whe she finally reject food and water Sunday, we knew the end had to be near. Abby had suffered considerable pain over the last several weeks and to force her to go on just seemed to terrible to consider. Although it broke our hearts to bring her in, we knew we were leaving her in the hands of caring, loving, gentle people. Had there been a shred of doubt, I couldn't of left her. While her absence leavess a huge void, knowing that she no longer suffers will help, along with the years of happy memories we have of her.I am certain that if not for the excellent medical care she has received from all of you over the years, she likely would not have survived as long as she did. In the end, the caring and compassionate treatment by the front desk staff, made it possible for me to do what i knew had to be done. Again, our heartfelt thanks for everything you have done for her over the years.

Sincerely,

Tom & Lonnie Barrick
