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.

Sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a friend.

Oh, Anne. My heart breaks for you. My Moselle was like my puppy – but she was a cat. She was also 14 and we lost her to kidney failure, too. Paul was holding her when she died. She was a huge part of my life and was with me constantly. She loved to sleep on my lap when I sewed at my machine or when I was sitting doing handwork. I still miss her terribly and it’s almost a year. I’m sending warm hugs and love to you. Gentle healing prayers even though I know you’ll always miss Milkshake. He was so beautiful and you could see his sweet gentle spirit in his pictures. 💔

Anne, I feel with you :-( :-( :-(
We must say good bye to our Kira in September 2017. She was 15 Years old and I missed her so often … LG, Gudrun
