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.

Oh how very sad. Dogs never live long enough. They are such a wonderful addition to our lives, we are fortunate to have them in our lives no matter how fleeting. She was lucky to have you and you to have had her.

Oh, how I can understand the sorrow of losing such a beloved little furry friend, who looked so sweet! I’m sure Milkshake had a wonderful life by your side, and as you so well say, she will remain deep in your heart… My best thoughts to you. Mimi
