Devin Kohlman rests at his home in Port Clinton, Ohio after returning from a Cincinnati hospital. Kohlman, a boy whose last wish was to be home for his favorite holiday, has died, two weeks after his hometown welcomed him with a Christmas tree outside his window and a motorcycle-riding Santa Claus. Devin, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in the summer of 2012, died Monday, Nov. 11, 2013 in the afternoon, said family friend Roseann Hickman. <\/p>\n

Last Wishes mobile pet euthanasia service adds storefront hospice for pets <\/p>\n
Anyone who lives with companion animals knows that the bond is unique, but can be just as profound as the connection with human loved ones. <\/p>\n
So when it's time to put down a pet that is terminally ill or otherwise suffering, animal lovers want to do it as humanely as possible, but may struggle to make the decision. <\/p>\n
Helping people cope with that struggle has led to a successful business known as Last Wishes, a 4-year-old mobile pet euthanasia service that allows animals to die at home in a familiar and comfortable environment. <\/p>\n

Owned by Dr. Christie Cornelius, Last Wishes has also opened a storefront hospice at 3036 Antoine to provide pet owners another option. <\/p>\n
\"For people who don't wish to have services performed in their homes or are looking for a less-expensive alternative, we offer in-center euthanasia,\" Cornelius said. <\/p>\n
\"What we're offering in our center is a home away from home,\" she said. \"The 'exam rooms' look like living rooms with plush furniture and area rugs in a nice, relaxing, stress-free environment.\" <\/p>\n
The center, near U.S. 290 and West 34th Street in northwest Houston, also offers pain management, laser therapy, acupuncture, pet-loss support groups and community networking, Cornelius said. <\/p>\n

Most clients come to Last Wishes, either the mobile service or Antoine Drive center, through referrals from other veterinarians, but Cornelius said a referral is not required, <\/p>\n
\"After a long conversation, we get an idea of whether euthanasia is warranted,\" she said. \"We talk (clients) through a quality-of-life evaluation, to see in what ways their pets are suffering. Typically when an owner is ready, the pet is ready.\" <\/p>\n
A new service, \"aquamation,\" is being offered through a sister business, Earthman Last Wishes, which Cornelius co-owns with partner David Earthman. Rather than cremation of a body through burning, aquamation uses water with a salt base and takes about 20 hours. <\/p>\n
\"We have the first unit for private use in Texas,\" Cornelius said of the aquamation facility. \"It's an environmentally friendly way to honor your pet.\" <\/p>\n
