Dr. Edwards,
Words can not express my appreciation for the compassionate letter we received after Molly's death in October 2010. Molly's final resting place is beneath the oak tree near our home where she spent many days playing and sitting in the sun. We miss her so dearly words can not express the loss we feel. Thank for your reassurance that my decision was the most humane for Molly. In all the experience I have had in my lifetime with vets, you and your staff have been the most wonderful, compassionate people. It is nice to know that some people in this world don't see a line when it comes to the treatment of animals and people. I have attached a few pictures of Molly. I thought it might bring joy to you and your staff, especially since they bring so much joy to my family. Thanks for giving Molly the dignity and compassion we all would want when it is our time to meet Jesus. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts for the loving care of our dear family member.
Sincerely,
Charlotte, Lynne, Preston, Justin, Triniti and Sparky Ficklin

An update on Vegas Haas, as you can see he is way too spoiled, he is always getting the utmost attention, but he is doing great! He wants to be back to himself but he is still being confined. Other than that, Thank you all so much for taking care of him, it is wonderful not to have to worry about the care.

Dear Dr. Hancock,
Thank you for your caring, your skill, your compassion, and your wonderful “pet-side” manner!

As soon as I walked in this place, with its all new floors and expensive couches, I thought I was about to be royally jacked up by the price of the operation my dog needed. I felt for sure I'd be making the payments on that big, soft couch for the next few years. Turns out, however, that this particular surgeon is the best I’ve ever interacted with, he has a better bedside manner than the human surgeons I work with! Also, the price was totally moderate, I feel like I’m getting a bargain because I truly believe that they’ll take wonderful care of my puppy Esteban. I was comfortable within 5 minutes of being there, and more importantly, confident that these guys are the pros I needed. Anyway, they’re now my surgeons for life should any other illness befall my sweet pups! By the way, I drove 2 hours to get there, and I would drive 20 hours if I needed to now, because I feel like this place is more than worth it.
Thank ya’ll so much for helping us with Esteban, we're blessed that ya’ll are so wonderful.

Dear Dr. Hancock & South Paws Staff,
"We are so grateful for the excellent care you gave Riley. Every staff member we encountered at South Paws treated us with patience and compassion. I wish I could remember each one’s name so I could thank them individually. I was so scared when I heard Riley was hit by a car. It meant the world to me that you stayed open late so I could drive across the Lake and see him before we left him in your care. I was so relieved to see that he was not in any pain and that you were going to be able to restore his mobility. I really felt you all went above and beyond any expectations we had. Thank you!"
