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.

All pets go to heaven where there is only joy, no pain or suffering. The love lives in our hearts forever. One of our kitties also went the way of your beloved Milkshake, and the loss is immense. I can only hope that the love our pets had during their life with us is remembered.

So sorry to hear about Milkshake. My little Mini Doxie, Daisy will be 14 this year and I know that day is coming for us also, and how I will miss her companionship. Just an idea. How about a quilt block in her memory?
