Ok, my vet really fucking rocks.

This is my gratuitous plug for the College Hill Pet Clinic in Cincinnati and especially for Dr. Terri McCarty. She's wonderful, patient and helpful and informative and sweet and has a sincere, adorable interest in cats. The woman almost broke down in tears *with* me as Bitsy was put to sleep; you can't fake sincerity like that. She used to always kiss Bitsy on the top of the head after a vet appointment and tell her what a good girl she was.
So I just received a letter from the clinic, to let me know that the staff sympathizes and all that, and that they've made a donation to the Ohio Animal Health Foundation in Bitsy's name to be used "to further veterinary knowledge in the continuous battle against disease", signed by the 4 vets that work at the clinic.
Maybe this is common practice, I don't know, but something about that just struck me as so very sweet and thoughtful.

Gad, even if I move out of STATE I'm probably likely to drive hours to come back here for them.

I got the same sort of thing from Bonnie's doctor (and I still have it by her urn). I don't care if it's a form letter or standard practice, it's awesome. It would be just as easy for them to forget about her, but the fact that they do at least *something* rocks.

That's a very kind thing for them to do... I can definitely see why they'd get your loyalty.

It's very difficult to find a good, compassionate vet. They are worth whatever you pay them. I'm a little jealous. :)

That's very nice! When Pancake died our vet practice sent us a pretty card signed by all the vets in the practice. A good vet is worth his/her weight in gold!

I dunno of that is common practice, but it is lovely. And that donation is amazing. :)
