Euthanasia.⁣

The single worst decision, day, and moment in a pet parents’ life. The kind of decision that makes you question ever owning another pet, because it’s too damn hard. This inevitable moment is too painful. ⁣

“This must be the absolute worst part of your job.” I hear that almost every time.⁣

Yes. It freaking sucks. But you know what I say to that each time?⁣

Euthanasia is a gift. A way to allow our furry angels to pass with peace, without stress, and with dignity. We wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe there was another option. And just because it’s the right decision doesn’t make it an easy one. ⁣

Remembering those words allows me the peace and calm to help you through one of the worst days of your life. That doesn’t mean I won’t cry too, or my hand won’t shake when I’m giving those final medications. But it means I can go home knowing your baby isn’t suffering anymore.⁣

That also doesn’t mean it won’t take its toll. We are veterinarians, technicians, nurses because we love our patients like their our own. A small or sometimes very large piece of our soul breaks every single time. At certain times it seems like we can’t catch a break, that the losses are coming too quickly for us to even take a breath between. “Dr. Death walking” we’ll sometimes say. ⁣

The holidays tend to be the worst part of the year for this ugly trend. Making Christmas cheer, or Thanksgiving gratitude a little stale most years. So over the next few months, please remember to be kind to all, to extend grace and patience even when you might not feel like it, and know above all that if your heart is breaking so is ours. ⁣

With love,⁣
Your Veterinarian

The GYPSY VANNER NATIONALS was such a special show for GRH The Golden Penny!
Owned by Belle and Larisa Pohousky O'Brien
Bred by Golden R Heart Ranch

We got to show her breeders first hand the amazing bond Penny is forming with Belle(her kiddo) and it was so rewarding to bring a young mare and watch her show her heart out for me, and her young rider!

Most would call us insane for this combo, but the love and trust Penny has for us shows through every step when we get the honor to ride and show her!

Penny earned a National TOP 10 in Novice English Pleasure and Novice Western Pleasure with Katie riding.

And

NATIONAL Title:

TOP 10-YOUTH Western Pleasure Wj
5th-Youth Showmanship
5th- Youth Western Horsemanship Wj
