As always, we think of our pet guardians as they suffer the loss of their pet. All of us, from the doctors to the staff (including Tucker!) join our pet guardians in coping with the loss.

Scamp a Doo was one of our eldest patients at twenty-three years of age. When he would arrive at the clinic, Tucker would greet him at the door as he sat on the bench.

 

 

Princess Charlie was a special patient to me as I had fostered her when I was an intern at Angell Memorial. She had been abused and was partially paralyzed when I took her in.

She had an incredible will to live and soon regained her ability to walk. Although never able to walk with a normal gait, it was just another unique characteristic of her. I had placed her when I was an intern never thinking I would see her again in her new home. I was able to be reunited as part of her caregiving team a few years later when I moved to the North Shore and saw her as a new patient! The day we euthanized her was very sad but comforting to know that we did not have to see her suffer and lose her dignity.

We hope only to reciprocate some of the love and unselfishness that our four legged friends give so freely.
