Reply to Dentist by astorannie

I use John Bush DMD downtown. They accept Guardian, and whenever I contemplate switching dental on Pennie, I call and give them the names/plan info so they can tell me whether they take it or not.

They’re absolutely amazing and I’ve never felt pressured into services. Routine cleaning and twice a year X-rays. He’s very kind and gentle. When I made my first appointment a few years ago I distinctly remember explaining to the receptionist that I had severe dental anxiety and I’d appreciate not having someone give me a lecture over my lack of cleaning, flossing, etc. Gentle guidance was all I wanted, and they happily noted it in my chart and took great care around me to not lecture.

I’m so sorry, OP. Pets hold such special places in our hearts. I wouldn’t be much help tomorrow until after work but it sounds like you have it covered. There’s a good book about mourning the loss of a pet called PS. I love you more than Tuna. Someone is borrowing my copy right now but I could send it to you when I get it back.

I can’t offer a ride- but both my partner and I will contribute to end of life services at a vet so you can be with them. If you provide the vets name and/or an account number (or some other identifying info so we can make sure it goes to the right individual) via PM we’ll both call in donations to the account (I can’t promise much unfortunately- we certainly can’t afford the entire bill, but every little bit helps yes? Probably about $50 or so each). We’re firm believers that pets are family and every pet deserves to have their human by their side.

I will also say- please make certain to get yourself some fur clippings, and ink paw prints at the very least (usually all complimentary at a vets).
