Patti was a 9-year-old Terrier mix who died while on vacation with her mom. They were staying in a rented home where Patti had full access to the balcony and garden. My client went out to a special dinner and when she came home, she found Patti in the garden – dead. What happened?
Frances: Hi Patti – I understand you passed away suddenly. Can you tell me what happened?
Patti: After Mom left, I went downstairs to the garden. I was feeling dizzy, and then it was over. I wasn’t in any pain; my heart just stopped. I know it was a shock for Mom to find me like that. I hadn’t been ill, I just felt dizzy and then lights out, you know?
Frances: Yes, honey I understand. Did you eat anything in the garden before you felt dizzy?
Patti: No, I was looking at the critters under the bushes and stuff, but I didn’t lick them since they were too fast for me.
Frances: Is there anything you want to tell your mom?
Patti: Please tell Mom I love her so much, and I’m sorry I had to go, but it was my time. I know it’s hard to believe, but I was a bit older than she thought or what the people told her, so yes, it was my time. It was quick and easy for me, no suffering, no pain. I know it was painful for Mom to find me. I’m sorry about that. I appreciate all you did for me during our time together and hope that, when you are ready, you’ll allow me to help you find your next furry friend. I will stay with her as long as she likes, but less and less as time goes on, so she can heal properly. I will always be in her heart, and she can talk to me anytime she likes, and I will hear her. She may not hear me as you do, but I will hear her. Thank you for doing this for my mom.
Frances: You’re very welcome, Patti.
For the Love of Animals,
Frances
