A vet tech was clipping some fur for me and offered me a clay paw. It was a very heartbreaking experience for me and my family, but we were comforted to know that we were there with him till the end and he lived a long happy life. Recently, my almost 15 year old childhood Golden Retriever had to be put to sleep due to a severe gastrointestinal lymphoma complication. I just wanted to write to you to tell you how very thankful I am for your thoughtful keepsakes of clay paws! I love the idea and have never owned one before. Every vet should do this and I wish you much luck in reaching out to them all and in encouraging them to use this memento to comfort those of us who cherish the ‘voiceless’ lives we were blessed with. Thank you for making it a little easier to lose our beloved companion of so many years….I’ve heard people over my lifetime say, ‘oh, it’s just a cat or it’s just a dog’, but the Lord created life and any life is so very precious. I don’t know who created this idea, but I can’t say enough about how caring and kind it is. But you should have seen his face when he saw those paw prints. My husband is 80 and he couldn’t go to the vet’s. They brought me such joy and a smile through my tears. I couldn’t believe what she gave me-the paw prints of Suzi on clay! I have so many memories of Suzi but nothing compares to her paw prints that I can have forever. The vet assistant brought her out in a nice box and then handed me something else. I can hardly remember when we didn’t have her. Let me tell you, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. We just had to put our 22 ½ -year-old cat, Suzi, to sleep.
