    I received a surprise today...

    I received a letter today from the Director of The School of Veterinary Medicine, UC Davis to let me know that Rusty's vet, the Orange Villa Vet Hospital, made a financial donation to their Center for Companion Animal Health Memorial fund... in memory of Rusty! What a nice gesture...it really touches me!

    Aw, what a lovely thing to do! Very nice, don't believe I've ever heard of a vet doing this.

    That is very nice. When my mom's little kitten, Gracie, passed away after a spay (she had an undetected heart condition), the vets did that, too. It was touching.

    I am blown away...it made me cry! Knowing the way they are though, very kind and caring with all their furry patients, I doubt it was just in Rusty's name. They probably included all the beloved pets that passed recently. But the letter I got didn't mention anyone else, only him, and it was mailed to me here at home straight from the university, the vet never let me know about this. This is one letter I'm going to keep and treasure, along with the beautiful card they sent me when he passed. I still miss him so-o-o-o much, but don't we all miss our furry friends...
    I was blessed to have found such good care for Rusty at the end.

    How lovely of them.
