With all my heart and soul I am going to share with all my thoughts. St. Francis Hospital has been there for me and assisted me for many years, first with my wonderful cocker spaniel Alliee, who I had to put to sleep after 17 wonderful years on March 6, 2007. My Maltese I named Bachi that I rescued in June of 2008. He was 7 years of age when I rescued him from the people who did not want him any more which to this day I will never understand. How can you give up your pet after 7 years! They just woke up one day and said, they did not want him anymore. Sad to say, Bachi was neglected. On 9/26/2010 I received the unfortunate news that Bachi had prostate cancer. I had to help fight this ugly disease for my Bachi since no one really cared enough for him to begin with. He and I would take drives to NJ every two weeks for his chemo treatments. We did this for 3 1/2 months, rain, snow and sunshine. It is unbelievable how he was such a trooper during this process. I really thought it would have worked I was determined to fight this cancer for Bachi and make it work. It was so sad and unfortunate that it didn't. So with the wonderful help from St . Franicis during this time we kept Bachi comfortable till the end. On March 12th, 3 years and 6 days to date, I had to make this heart wrenching decision again to put my Bachi to sleep. With Dr. Thompson by my side she gave me her strength I so needed as she did once before to help me through this very hard time. With the help always from Doctors, Brigande & Batatio, along with the support always with the help of their staff, who understood always what I was going through. They have been there for me in happy times and not so happy times. I know in my heart I will one day get another friend and I wouldn't have to think twice where I would bring my pet, it would be to St. Francis Animal Hospital. I hope no one has to make that decision I had too, but unfortunately we have to for our friends who we don't want to see suffer. I never put a price on my pets health EVER. I find it amazing that I would not think twice when it comes to my pets vet bill or how much the cost but for me, I would think twice I would spend spend $100.00 dollars on a pair of shoes or something I wanted to buy for that matter for myself. And the money I spend for my pet? It always finds its way to me. My pets are my children. Please remember, they have no one to speak on their behalf but for us. Thank you for taking the time to read my review today. I hope it helps you think about the love you have in your heart for your pet. What works for me I hope the same will work for you. Don't put a price on the best and remember, rudeness can go both ways.\r
