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’m so sorry to hear about your sweet milkshake puppy. We had a family member passed away last week and our little pup is having the same issue. It’s hard to see them looking for him around the house. Sending my well wishes and asking for blessings and conmort for you and your family.

So very sorry. I’ve been through this with a dog of the same age and had her all her life. I know how you feel.
