Dear Veterinarian One,
Thank you for your post card. I regret to say that _______ went out on 2 March of this year and did not return. His microchip is still active. He liked you very much.

This is heartbreaking and I don’t even like animals.
So sorry for your poor pet.
Merci … I hope hasn’t suffered or that it is by now long since over … I still cannot believe I let this happen!
Sniff.
