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.

So sorry for your loss , our furry friends are such a a huge part of our family . Milkshake looks very much like our little dog Buddy , he is a Fox terrier .

your post brought lump to the throat, tears pooling in my eyes and a heaviness in my heart. The loss of a furbaby hurts and nothing can replace the love of a loving dog. cherish your memories and allow yourself the time to grieve. Hugs

My heart goes out to you! It is so hard to lose a precious family member. My Dukie is 20, has congestive heart failure and a heart murmur. He is going blind and deaf. I cannot imagine life without him. He was 6 when we rescued him. He’s blessed us for 14 years. My sympathies!
