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.

I’m so sorry Anne. I know how you feel I just recently had to say goodbye to my cat due to cancer, he was 11 yrs old. Animals are such a part of our families.

I am so very sorry to read of the sad day you have had. I have experienced the death of many beloved dogs and cats during my lifetime, and I can imagine the heartache you are feeling. You provided Milkshake with a wonderful life–much better than so many creatures have. I cannot imagine a heaven without the pets we have loved so faithfully in this life, so I hang onto the fact that I will someday be reunited with those who have gone ahead. I hope that you, too, can find comfort in the coming days. Milkshake would want you to find joy in your shared memories. Lovingly……Anne Jacobs
