It was an incredibly difficult decision which took me many months to make but when i did, Dr. Hawthorne called me. We discussed my dog and I told her it was time even though it broke my heart to pieces. She came to my house on a friday morning and it was heartbreaking and I cried and cried and I held her. Even though it was devastating it was also so peaceful and loving that it gave me such comfort afterwards knowing that she was not scared and knew I had her in my arms and i was loving her. After care was just as comforting and they brought her back to me the very next day in the most beautiful box. I would recommend Lap of Love for anyone who wants a calm and loving goodbye for their pet ( member of their family)
