Felicia Harvelle

10/15 was one of the saddest days of my life. I had to put down my 17 year old dog, Chi Chi. He’s been by my side since day one and it was the hardest decision ever. Dr. Jeffer, Ashley, and Casey were so compassionate and they felt my pain. Their kindness and support was needed during this time. I can’t thank them enough.
