I need you like a lighthouse needs a coast
23 07 2008Unfortunately, sometimes in the middle of the night, I need these guys. I’ve needed them on Saturdays and Sundays. And they’ve always been there. I have taken a stray hit by a car to them and they did right by him. I took my dear Xica to them once she had expired. Toby Doby went to the bridge with them. On the night of June 17th I needed them again. Contra Costa Veterinary Emergency Pet Hospital was there on a Saturday afternoon when my beloved Doberman Pinscher Beauregard was having a hard time breathing. I knew in a 9 1/2 years old dog it may very well be bad news. It was. Dr. Matt Harsch delivered the bad news with compassion and understanding. Three days later when Beauregard couldn’t get his breath at all and was gurgling at 3 o’clock in the morning, Contra Costa Veterinary Emergency Pet Hospital was there. The only words I could say was “my dog’s in distress.” Dr. Dannucci was kind but firm with where we were and what would unfortunately do right by my dear boy’s soul. In the worst of conditions, the entire staff was beyond kind and understanding. I would say they couldn’t understand the connection between me and that dog, but he’d been there so many times before that they absolutely knew that we had captured lightening for 9 1/2 years. For that kindness I will always be indebted to their Doctors and their staff. So today, we give a shout out to the Contra Costa Veterinary Emergency Pet Hospital. I’m glad you’re in my neck of the woods.
