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 lost my kitty Cocoa last year – he was 14. It was so hard. I cried for days. I still miss him so much. I have two new kitties as I just couldn’t be alone in the house without a kitty. I call them Cocoa by mistake. I find pictures of him and it makes me miss him even more. I’m sorry about Milkshake but know that he was loved and special and will be missed.
