It’s always sad to experience the loss of one of my patients. Creating a memorial helps my clients say goodbye to their canine or feline companion by celebrating the pet’s life. Recently, one of my cat patients, Nestor, peacefully left us for the other side.
Here are the recollections from Nestor’s family:
Our feline companion of 19 years crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was the toughest cat we have ever had, surviving a coyote attack and various illnesses. He lived all 9 lives to the fullest and was always ready for a head bump and some snuggle time.
The Reichenbach family was blessed by his presence, as was every one of our friends and visitors who became the object of his affection over the years. Till we meet again, we love you Nestor!
