Raffy's peaceful passing. My dog had always had hip & elbow dysplasia. Many operations to help fix his problems, but ultimately arthritis got the better of him and at 13 he succumbed and lost use of all his legs. We woke one morning and he couldn't stand. His legs had been giving way for the previous few months and the vet felt his spinal may have also degraded. I wanted a serene, peaceful environment for him to pass over. I found Eternal Paws online and it looked beautiful. What I can't express enough is the peacefulness of this beautiful place. But even more importantly the love, compassion, care and professionalism shown by Anita, Jayne & Mel. Raffy peacefully passed to spirit and went into his forever sleep in the most beautiful peaceful, serene space, the Angel garden. He loved to be outdoors, it felt fitting. It was beautiful, safe, quiet, just the sound of birdsong and peace. No noise, no one else there, no rush, we were given as much time as we needed to say goodbye to my beloved boy. I knew after having a cold, rushed experience 5 years earlier putting my cat to sleep at a local vet that I couldn't put my little boy spaniel through that. I searched everywhere wanting to find a more holistic, serene passing for him. The women at Eternal Paws just 'Get it'. They are all pet lovers, so understand how much our furry companions mean to us, that they are family members. What Anita has created at the final resting home is honestly a profound and beautiful end of life service. The only other places I have seen such respect shown to animals is in the temples of Tibet. I felt their warmth and compassion from beginning to end. It was faultless. Anita helped me through such a difficult moment with calm and grace, I needed that to help me through his transition. She spoke so kindly and with such compassion, wisdom and experience. These kind women made what was one of the hardest days of my life, a peaceful, calm, love filled space for Raffy to pass to spirit. It was so calm, peaceful and tranquil, he slipped away with absolutely no resistance, he was just so at peace in their beautiful garden and surroundings, surrounded by love. And that was all I wished for him. I can't recommend them enough. They are the gold standard of palliative and end of life pet care. I will be recommending them to all my family and friends. From the bottom of my heart, I will never forget how beautiful his passing was. Thank you to all at Eternal Paws for the kindness and compassion you gave to Raffy. I knew I had left him in safe hands to return to ash, after I had left. And I can say with certainty only his remains came back to me, every screw, plate and hip replacement piece of metal he had in his little legs. Which actually moved me, they were a part of him. And your warmth when I returned to collect him will always be remembered. Jaynes warm hug. Thank you, each of you. x
