Rest in Peace Sweet Boy! Yesterday I lost a long time patient of mine. I deal with a lot of loss and sad emotions on an almost daily basis. But in those sad moments, I find comfort knowing that I am bringing peace to my patients and their families. But today I lost one of my first patients from when I started my house call practice and it has left a little hole in my heart. I have been treating Yankee since 2020 and over the years, my visits have become more frequent. Yankee was one cool dog. And he was such a good patient. I loved that he would get excited to see me when I walked through the door. He was so tolerant of anything I did to him. He would relax into his acupuncture and laser treatments. And I learned from him. As he aged, we would try new things to keep him comfortable and I would say that we succeeded. Yankee just celebrated his 15th birthday on 5/20. I will always remember you Yankee. I hope you crossed that rainbow bridge running again.
