Pets

Milkshake Sutton

We said goodbye to Milkshake today.  She died in my arms, wrapped in a soft blanket.  She was 14 1/2 and had congestive heart failure, although, in the end, it wasn’t her heart that got her, it was kidney failure.

She defied the cardiologist when he told her she had 4 months to live in June of, 2015.  I know she didn’t like him much anyway so she remained in the care of her regular vet who is anything but “regular”.  Today, when we said goodbye, her vet cried as much as we did.

I’m so blessed to have had this dog as a part of our lives.  She brought love and joy to all of us.   I feel so empty today like someone took a huge piece of me away.  I know time will fill the emptiness and I’ll be left with her wonderful memories.

 

A dog’s love is like no other.  She will be missed so much.

    There is nothing more heartbreaking then losing our beloved pets but Billy Graham said that we would see them again in heaven and who amongst us would question him.  What a glorious time we will have when we are reunited with our loved ones both two and four legged.  My sincere prayers for your loss.
