A Heart-warming Story
EDIT TO ADD : My personal page was hacked and discontinued so I am building back my community one lovely soul at a time . This article was published under my old facebook business name : White Feather Mobile Veterinarian which I currrently have no access to. For those who have not read it, I am re-publishing again. As always , please share to your friends, comment , and like to gain further traction.
I haven’t been writing for a long time. Life is full of those twists and turns that keep us busy. I love what I am doing. It feels like I am living my purpose. And for a soul coming to earth - that is
the goal. I get to meet such beautiful families. My geriatric care aspect helps to make older dogs and cats feel better and my end-of-life Care Service is heart-warming and heart opening. To see how much love the families have for their furred friends makes me feel that the world is going to
be OK. If we have this much love, we will survive.
Last week, I was scheduled to help a family with their old friend Dude. Dude was such an important and very loved part of his family. His diagnosis of an abdominal tumour was heart-
breaking. He gave them a month to process the diagnosis as he declined in health. He was helped along with medications and tender feeding care. One day it was clear that he did not
want help any longer. The family loved him so much: he was the king of the block; chasing various animals off of the property and going for treats at the neighbours. Dude loved to watch
the fish off of the dock and spent many hours just waiting for a catch. He lived in paradise. He was a soulful dog that spoke with deep eye contact. They had a rough year financially so the
appointment for me to come was another stress amongst their heart-break.
As we were coming close to Dude's date another family reached out to me. They were given the diagnosis last year that their 13-year-old dog Dieter had cancer whose tumour grew to the point
where he could no longer move freely. We had been connecting on and off since February knowing that someday I would need to come to help.
Dieter was adopted from a high-kill shelter in California as a puppy. He was such an important family member and even helped pick out a new place to live in Forest Grove! He was sweet and generous of spirit enjoying his years in the Cariboo living in paradise, just like Dude. He lived on a property amongst the furred and feathered forest friends: a local Raven couple had their babies there every year, the deer roamed freely along the backyard and squirrels and birds had no fear: they were a mere yard away from us the whole time with their joyous sing-song. I felt like I was in a Disney movie!
When more tumours began to grow in his mouth, he let his family
know that he was ready to leave his body and go into spirit.
Dude was scheduled for Friday and Dieter Saturday. But I looked at the schedule again and realized I could fit both on Friday. I reached out to Dieters’ family expressing the help it would
bring to the other family to split mileage if we made the appointment Friday. Dieter helped to make the decision too as he wasn’t feeling very good. When Dieters’ family heard that the other family would appreciate the splitting of mileage, When I arrived home, I opened my email and found they had already sent enough money to cover their bill and the bill for Dude. I was so
elated as my dream was to open an angel fund for people unable to afford my services. It finally happened! They said that if I had any money left over that I could use that for another family in
need. I did the math and the amount I have left over is exactly $123. 123 is an angel number that represents forward momentum and support by divine guidance.
The day was so incredibly sad for both families. But the profound energy of giving, receiving, and love for one another was heart expanding. I decided to call the fund Dieter’s Angel Fund in
honour of Dieter and his family. I opened an account and started the Angel Fund with the $123 remaining from the services of Dude and Dieter. Dude’s family sent along a card and
some white roses in gratitude for Dieter’s family which meant so much to them. A beautiful bridge of love and generosity spilled back and forth between them. I’d like to think Dude and
Dieter are friends on the other side as their families are now connected by their hearts.
When I told my friend about Dieter’s Angel Fund, she sent me $123. So, if you feel called,
please share this post and consider contributing.
EDIT TO ADD : Dieter's angel fund has grown in size since then. If you would like to contribute, please PM me.
So much love,
Ange
