I recently had to make one of the most difficult decisions of my life. My 10 year old beagle Mollie was stricken with liver cancer and it progressed fairly quickly. After staying up with her all night we decided that it was time for her to go to a peaceful place. We called Caring Pathways at 830 and they had someone here within a hour to help us. Alice arrived at outlet home and immediately put us at ease. She carefully explained to us the process that was about to take place. Alice was a total and complete professional. She understood that what we were doing was difficult and painful. Alice made Mollie comfortable and administered a sedative/pain medication that made Mollie feel relaxed. After Mollie was asleep Alice gave her the final drug. All this was done in a compassionate manner. My best friend Mollie passed peacefully around 10:15 in the morning. She had her paws held by my wife and I and her siblings were also close by. Alice was very respectful and left the house for awhile so that we could say our farewells. Molli was then put on a stretcher and taken to be creamated. I can not express enough my gratitude at the caring, compassionate and professional manner in which Caring Pathways and Alice made our difficult decision easier to handle. I would recommend Caring Pathways to anyone who needs to have their companion taken care of in a completely caring, compassionate and professional manner. -Brian Pulmmer
