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.

It’s so hard to lose a pet. They’re so much more. Our Scotty went over the Rainbow Bridge in March. I still expect him to greet me when I come into the house.
Hugs and prayers. Karla

I’m so very, very sorry. We couldn’t have children, so we have lots of cats who all are truly our kids! My prayers are with you!

I am so sorry for your loss. I have gone through that scene many times. You will never forget Milkshake.
