Yesterday I had to put my 17 years old kitty ""Sophie"" to sleep at the clinic on a rainy Sunday afternnon. It was very emotional for me as ""Sophie"" was my first pet.
The nurse at the clinic was so kind to ""Sophie"" at her last hours that I can't express how much I appreciated it. She not only brought out a tower but also a small heating device to keep ""Sophie"" warm and comfortable the entire time. The nurse did not have to do that for a cat that is about to get put to sleep. This nurse petted ""Sophie"" and sweet talked to her as if ""Sophie"" was her own pet cat. In fact the nurse even weeped herself.
""Sophie"" died in our arms peacefully and with no pain surrounded by humans that loved her. I am sorry that I did not thank the nurse at the time for all she did and in fact I did not even know her name because I was too busy dealing with my sadness at the time. I want to now express a big thank you!!
