I'm so disappointed *Update 10/8* see #29

I received a sympathy card from Dr. Lee's office today, hand signed by all the vets. Dr. Lee's was the 3rd signature and he included a scripture, Job 12:10 which says "In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind". The picture on the front of the card is of a calico who looks so much like Puddy that at first I thought they had taken a photo of her and transferred it to the front of the card. Puddy was unusually tiny and topped out at 5 lbs. and the cat in this pic is just as tiny. Well, I feel better now and I'll be sure to send a nice note to Dr. Lee and his staff.

I'm so glad to hear that you received a card. I do know that in most clinics a whole stack of cards is passed around and everybody pre-signs them so when it comes time for the receptionists to send them out, they're already signed. But in your case, Dr. Lee, handwriting a scripture, shows that he specifically wrote with Puddy in mind and that is so great!!! And so he should. Awesome! And the fact that they picked a card that so closely resembles your girl shows condsideration. How wonderful!

I'm glad you received a card, it's very hard I know.

Not many people are saying much to me today, I think they know but some I think don't know.

My sister sent me flowers today and that touched me but I'm trying to keep it together here at work.

So nice that not only did they send a card but one that was carefully chosen for Puddy.

I want to believe that it was chosen for Puddy but they have an office cat who is a big calico girl. They're partial to calicos there. I'm not finding fault, though. I appreciate the card and the fact that the calico on the front of it looked so much like Puddy made it that much sweeter. I really think they miss her, too. They'd always laugh at her in her healthier days because when I'd leave, I'd say "Tell everyone what you think of Dr. Lee" and she'd hiss and it would crack everyone up. And when Dr. Lee would call to check on her if she was in hospital, they'd say "Well, she's hissing and growling" and he'd say "That's all I needed to hear". She definitely left her impression in this world. On this chilly, gray, rainy day I wish I could stroke her fur while she laid on my chest as I watched TV. One fine day, as Gary would say.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this, Mary. And it does sound as though Dr. Lee picked that Scripture verse especially with you and Puddy in mind. And this will be a beloved keepsake to remind you of her and all you did together and the wonderful, special love you and she share forever.

Hugs and purrs,
Pat and the gang

Yes, I think that I may frame the card. It's really special. If I thought my scanner would pick it up clearly, I'd scan and post it so that you could see how much the calico on the cover of the card looks like Puddy.
