  Shawnee died today. She was a 13 year old yellow lab who was loved very much. She had a tumor that burst last Saturday. Our vet was out of town till Wednesday and a friend recommended Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital. The staff and Dr. Scibelli were so great. They were compassionate and thoughtful. We wanted to know how serious Shawnee's condition was and diagnosis and prognosis before we made the final decision. They did blood work and suggested an ultrasound at another clinic (who I will review next, without the five stars). The prognosis was grim. Shawnee was dying. We brought her home so the kids could say goodbye. And she bounced back. We took her to the stables so Shiloh could say goodbye and she wagged her tail and smiled the whole time. We took her to the beach for the last time and she ran in the surf and fetched sticks. We couldn't put her down while her tail wagged, ears perked and she smiled that smile that dogs do when they are happy. Last night though was hard on her. Her breathing became short and labored. She stopped eating a couple of days ago and tail didn't wag as quickly as it always has. She was starving and the pain was increasing. My wife and I decided this morning it was time. The receptionist, Veronica, was so caring and did everything possible to make this moment as easy as possible for Shawnee and me. Dr. Gertmenian was gentle and reassuring. I laid next to Shawnee as she was given the shots. I stroked her head reminding her of everyone who loved her so. I prayed for her and told God she is a good dog and worthy of her place in heaven. Dr. Gertmenian was so patient with us. She stroked my head and comforted me while I tried to comfort Shawnee. Several staff members were so kind and considerate and went out of their way to offer their condolences. Wow, today sucks! But the expert care, sound advice and compassion of Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital kept Shawnee with us for as long as possible, for which are very grateful. P.S. A local florist just delivered a beautiful bouquet. Not surprising as many of our friends know how much Shawnee meant to us. I opened the card and read "Thinking of you during this difficult time. Shawnee will be in our thoughts. - All the Staff at Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital.". Damn, I'm crying again. But caring friends are such a comfort. Even new ones like the staff at Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital.
