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.

So sorry for your loss. She will be missed but had a beautiful life with you.

So very sad and my heart goes out to you and your family. I’ve gone through this several times with my cats/dogs, say I can never go through it again, and end up with another loved pet. They just don’t live long enough and I hope to meet them all again one day. We all are thinking of you and all you can do is hang in there!

So, so sorry! We have gone through this too, and it never gets easier. They are just part of the family! Sending big hugs your way!
