When we put our last dog down, she was super affectionate still. She loved going to the vet and was licking everyone. It was surprising to me that 3 different people (in addition to the vet) came in to say goodbye to her. Apparently, our girl was one of the favorites for the crew that worked there because of her friendliness.

Point being, sometimes pets can enjoy visits to the vet and the familiarity of the people there can act as a comfort.

I miss my derp of a dog, and how happy she always was to see me. :(
