"This was the sympathy card I received from the vet. I sent them a cheesecake. Please enjoy these photos of my handsome son."

Another added: "I’m laughing and crying dang it. That’s so sweet, and he’s a very handsome boy. May his memories be a comfort."
A third replied: "Your reaction to the card and kind gesture in return tells me that you gave your boy an amazing life. Love and sympathy from a fellow owner of a spicy former-feral void."
Meanwhile, a fourth also commented: "Clinic employees really do care about their clients. I'm sorry for your loss, please take time to remember all the good memories too. From the husband of a vet clinic employee."
