We had the same experience. Walking out of the room with wet eyes, 2 customers looked right at us and knew and sadly sad "so sorry".

Our vet was lovely enough to let my husband pay while I was outside. We opted for burial on our land and a few days after received a beautiful Orchid plant from Flowersdirect courtesy of the vet with their sympathies. Not sure if they do this for everyone but like that they thought of us as more than just clients.

The orchid blooms all year in my bathroom (the only place the cats won't get to it.)

I think sometimes we forget that Vets are "Pet" people too!
