The reality is, that Gemi's death (more than Lo's) did make me feel like a different person. I don't know if others think so, but inside I feel different. <br /><br />I don't know if they will come to your home. I have heard stories of people having it at home, so some vets must. My clinic has a visiting room with a couch that is a bit nicer. I am sure you could bring whatever you wanted with you to make it more comfortable. A home death for my pets is not something I wanted. I wanted the final act to occur somewhere else because I have very strong associations with places and I didn't want that to be in the home. These are things that it may be helpful to find out well before needing to know.Hailey and Zaphod and their Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183902007810065462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357572045023259154.post-33868313899816480762012-02-28T19:35:21.407-05:002012-02-28T19:35:21.407-05:00I agree with Yuki & Rocket -- sometimes I forg...I agree with Yuki & Rocket -- sometimes I forget that I will likely (hopefully) outlive my boys. Just thinking about life without them makes me teary-eyed. I think you're a very strong person, though, because you've made it through both Loki and Gemi passing away without losing your marbles. <br /><br />Weird question -- when it is time for my guys to go, will the vet come to my place? The thought of doing anything like that at the vet's office just.. I don't know, it doesn't sit well with me. Maybe because my vet's office isn't overly homey (what vet's office is, though) and for something like this I would like to be done in the comfort of our home, with their toys and beds and so on.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415107580164949825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6357572045023259154.post-67615300806557550422012-02-27T07:10:35.846-05:002012-02-27T07:10:35.846-05:00You are welcome.
