There is no one better?? Tonight we lost our beloved Aphrodite. Aphrodite was a 197+ pound brindle English Mastiff. We got her from one of the top breeders in the country back in 2003 along with our beautiful male Mastiff Zeus. We lost Zeus to cancer three years ago. Aphrodite developed a sudden case of Pyometra almost two weeks ago and needed a very expensive emergency surgery to save her life. For the past week she and her staff kept Aphrodite at all about animals tending to her day and night. Her techs and office staff came in 24 hrs a day tending to her, running every test in the book trying to save her. Twice we decided to put her to sleep but Dr.Liz pleaded to give her more time. We of course saw our beloved girl suffering as well as a huge bill building up. While we owned two Mastiffs we are a long way from well off. Finally tonight after trying everything to save her all involved decided it was best to end her suffering. My wife Cherie and I learned tonight how much Dr.Hughes and all of her staff had fallen in love with Aphrodite. Everyone there went totally to pieces. It was as though a member of their families had died. Then we got the dreaded bill. There was almost no bill. Dr.Hughs had paid for most of Aphrodite's very expensive treatment out of her own till. So maybe the place isn't fancy and the building luxurious. I can see why. I know how much they charge compared to other vets and it's a fraction. The people at All About Animals are truely angels if angels exist. I'm a gruff old combat wounded Vietnam vet. But these people have restored my faith in human beings. On the other hand, I will have my revenge against the other clinic in Brandon Fl. I will see to it that every dog lover in the country knows about their theivery and abuse. I would walk through a forest fire in a gasoline soaked suit for Dr.Hughes and her staff. You need have no fear for your beloved pet at her clinic.
