What a great idea for a thread Karen! I think the following is so touching.

The vet informed me that I was to tell her she was being worked on and that she should come down. We did not want to tell her that her dog died over the phone because if you saw this lady you would know you had to tell her in person because she was so distraught.
What a thoughtful vet to spare the woman this grief for a little while. I can't imagine having to drive to the vet's after hearing that news. He was very wise and compassionate. I am sure the ride home for her was incredibly sad though. I remember driving home after having my Peaches (toy poodle at the RB) put to sleep. I was all alone and certainly shouldn't have been on the road operating a car.
