| Jack with 2 tennis balls and a stick! |
|
Many of you know that we are a Real Estate Team that cares. Something you may not know is that when we say we care, we really mean it.
Alan and I have two great dogs including a white lab named Jack. Jack is a blood donor dog at
Loomis Basin Veterinary Clinic in
Loomis. A week ago Sunday, I was putting a prime rib on the barb – b –
que at around 3:15 p.m. with dinner guests set to arrive at 5p.m. and dinner to be served at 6 when I got a call from the vet’s office begging me to bring Jack in for an emergency blood donation. He was the only donor left on the list whose blood was a match. The vet tech said without Jack’s blood the dog in need would not make it.
Of course without hesitation, I dropped everything and started on the 2 hour mission. ½ hour each way for travel from El
Dorado Hills to
Loomis and the hour for Jack to give his blood. I got home around 6 and we proceeded with the dinner. Everyone who heard about it called Jack a hero. I was asked the next week if I had heard how the dog was doing. I was afraid to ask Amy, my daughter-in-law (head Vet Tech at
Loomis) fearing the worst.
Yesterday, I got this card in the mail.
We were thrilled to learn that Buddy came through with Jack's help. Their note brought me to tears of joy. It was so nice for them to recognize Jack, and us for our actions, and you see, "It’s not just clients we love to help"
