Last night, after we got home from supper, I walked into the dining room to find my wife, Laurie, sobbing. I looked over her shoulder and saw the pile of mail she had just brought in. On top was card that said "with deepest sympathy", and I realized it was for our dog, Tillie, our pet for the past 8 years, whom we had to put down last Saturday. I realized that was why Laurie was crying. But when I opened the card and read it, I got the full effect. The card was from the vet clinic where she was put down. Surrounded by the signatures of the staff of the clinic was a cloth heart with instructions to plant it in the garden to grow perennial wildflowers. But, what made me and my wife cry, was the card insert. It is about 3"x5". On top it says "In Loving Memory", on the bottom is Tillie's name, and filling the center of the card is Tillie's paw print. The name of the clinic is "A Caring Heart Veterinary Hospital" and they live up to their name. Thank you ACHVH for your kindness and thoughtfulness.Read Less
