Today, I received a "sympathy" card for the (Dec. 29th) death of my dog, Boodie, a beautiful Sheltie who was treated by Dr. Roach at Crosswinds for 15-3/4 yrs., and this remark caught my eye: "Davis Family, Boodie was such a wonderful child. He left many fond memories for all of us. He was very lucky to have you as his caretaker. S. RonMom :-) " I don't know who wrote that, but it seems strange that after bringing my dog to Crosswinds for almost SIXTEEN YEARS, Boodie was nevertheless referred to as a "he" when, in fact, the dog was FEMALE. I also could never understand why Dr. Roach would always call her "Bodie," and never seemed to remember her real name. Over the Christmas holiday weekend, Boodie became VERY ill, and I left a message asking for a Tues. appointment, when I thought Dr. Roach would surely be in. Boodie was vomiting and had bloody diarrhea, but when I received no call-back, I called a second time to ask if I could use the Genitzol ointment to make her more comfortable. In both cases, the phone system never recorded my messages, to my deep outrage. I pointed out the problem to the staff the first time, yet nothing was done about it. When I called the second time (on Tues.), it was around 10:30 a.m.--clearly, during office hrs. I couldn't be the only customer who encountered this problem. I am very upset and disappointed with Crosswinds. I don't know if I will ever own another pet again, but if I do, I will most certainly find another vet. Now, all I want are my dog's ashes back, so that I may give her a proper burial. I don't even want to talk to anyone at Crosswinds.
