To all the members at the Animal Care Clinic,
    I’m sure that *Sammy* is in heaven cuddling. Peace, love, and respect were given to *Sammy* and our family. There are no words to express our thanks. To think of her out of pain in a place to cuddle once more warms our hearts and helps ease our loss. Our experience with all of our “treasured” is outstanding. Our greatest appreciation to each of the Dr’s and staff!

To the staff at the Animal Care Clinic,
    Thank you so much for planting a tree for *Lily*. Your kindness throughout our loss of *Lily* has been wonderful. With our grandson, whose loss of *Lily* has been the hardest, was lifted up by your kindness. Once again, my family thanks all of you. God bless you.

Thank you for all you do. Thank you for taking such good care of *Spot* (and us) throughout his life. We know she was special to you too.

Dear Dr. Beckman and Staff-
    I want to thank you for the opportunity to observe a day in the life of a veterinarian. I enjoyed the experience and thought surgery was very interesting. Thank you for helping me in my decision to become a veterinarian.

Dear friends,
    Just a note of thanks and great gratitude for your many years of service to *Lucky* and all my animal friends. I miss her unbelievably…what a little companion. Wasn’t I lucky!

Dear staff,
    I want you to know how much I appreciate the sympathy card and the tree planted in *Joey’s* honor. You were all so caring and compassionate when the awful time came to say goodbye. His passing was handled with a gently grace I will always remember. Thank you for being so thoughtful and kind, it truly helped.

To all of you at the Animal Care Clinic,
    This thank you is long overdue. We wanted to thank you for the thoughtful gesture you made on behalf of our beautiful *Smokey* . It was very kind of you. We miss him so much.

Dear Acc Staff,
    Many thanks to the entire staff of caring and professional people. As always when I bring *Missy* to your clinic, I felt welcomed by your friendliness and confident that *Missy* will have the best care. Special thanks for our most recent visit go to Gisela, Jenna and Lauren. And always thanks to Dr. Gotz for her on-going care.

Hi this is *Buck*,
    I wanted all the doctors and staff at the Animal Care Clinic and PESC to know how much I appreciate all the TLC that I received while a patient under your care. I’m feeling much better and enjoying being able to take walks around the yard, visit with my neighbors and sleep in my own bed. I must be on the road to recovery! It is never pleasant being in the hospital, but all of you made my stay much more tolerable, which was an enormous help in recovery. Thank you for all the special love you gave me.
