[NAGDU] Good old Fisher

I was glad to have our regular vet as we've been going there a long time and Irish really liked him, so that's one thing to consider, too. Since he knew us, he took extra time and was very helpful getting through it.

For both Echo and Amba, we got a vet who made house calls.  Amba came to hate the vet's office, because of the cancer treatments she got there, so it was good not to have to go there.  Echo had arthritis, and she both hated to get in a car and to go out of her home territory, so, again, it was good to have someone come to the house and take care of her.  I don't remember it being more expensive than the regular vet, either, after adding in what it would have cost me to take a taxi both ways.  May be different elsewhere, though.

I will ask, but my vet did give me numbers I could call where they do. I have to weigh that against the vet he knows, too. I know that if it was soon, they would surely let us in. My daughter put a dog down a couple of weeks ago, and though the vet care was all curb side, they were able to go in with Shirley.

I wasn't offered the option to do it at home, but I'm sure could have asked. But the vet's office had us come at a time when they didn't have other patients and the vet sat with us and talked with us and took his time and gave us time with Irish. It's such a hard thing, but it's comforting to know that we're with them till the end.

I think at makes lots of sense. It is plenty hard enough to do.
