Yesterday, I had to make the decision that almost every pet lover dreads... having to end a beloved pet's life. My cat, Abbie, had been sick for several weeks, and after several trips to the vet, she seemed to be getting worse. Over the course of a weekend, she declined rapidly. Being 16 years old, I knew that any radical treatments to save her life would be more for my benefit than hers.
I found Sweet Dreams online, and after reading so many wonderful testimonials, I decided that helping her pass at home was the best thing for both of us. Dr. Crowder and Christine had an availability that very afternoon, and while I don't think one is ever really ready, I knew Abbie was, so I made the appointment.
They arrived promptly and were so compassionate throughout the whole ordeal. They let me take my time through the process, all the while explaining what to expect. Right after the final injection, Dr. Crowder let me know when Abbie's heart had stopped beating. She was laying on my den floor on a towel, and within seconds of her passing, the sun came out from behind clouds, came through my window and through the beveled glass on my coffee table. It cast the most brilliant rainbow on the floor next to Abbie for about about 30 seconds, and then it was gone. I commented to them that I guess that was Abbie crossing over the Rainbow Bridge. Christine said the timing of its appearance gave her chills. I guess it was Abbie's way of letting me know she was okay.
I'm so grateful such a service as Sweet Dreams exists. I highly recommend them to help you get through a painful process with professionalism and the utmost compassion.

On September 6, Sweet Dreams came to our home to put down my 13 year old Springer Spaniel. Moab was my best friend and the only consistently positive force in my life for the last 13 years. Through every personal disaster, Moab was there to remind me that I always had him when others deserted me. To say I was heartbroken is a gross understatement. Over the last three years, Moab had also taken residence in the heart of my boyfriend, who was equally crushed by his impending death.
Dr. Hendricks and her assistant (whose name I do not recall, I'm so sorry to say) were beyond professional. They were patient and kind, and didn't rush me as I told them stories about Moab after they completed the euthanasia process.
The compassion shown to us by these two professionals rendering extremely heart-wrenching service, provided us with great comfort at a difficult time. Euthanasia was definitely the right choice to prevent my dog from experiencing additional pain. It was a relief to know that this horrible stage of his life was over and that with gentle hands, he was elevated to a better, pain\-free place.

On August 25, Sir Duke, a 14 year old Shepard/Chow Mix, transitioned from this life to a new one over the rainbow. Adele and Stephanie helped make this transition so much easier for him. They talked to him and loved on him as if they'd known him for such a long time; like old friends. The transition for our family was so much easier as well. Stephanie and Adele talked us through and walked with us every step of the way.
As hard as it was to let go of Duke it was harder to watch him push on just for us. Duke was my best friend, my gaurdian, my companion, my confidant. Things won't be quite the same. But the quiet, gentle homegoing, here at home, with the family and now friends by Duke's side, was bittersweet. It's never easy to let go and it was not easy for me, but the kindness shown will never be forgotten. Thank you Stephanie and Adele for being so kind and gentle and loving. Thank you for the Rainbow Bridge you gave us. The colors will remain with us forever.
