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.

Sorry for your loss. We said goodbye to our Newfoundland of 14 years last August and I still miss her and always will. I was there when she went to doggy heaven and it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. My heart goes out to you for your loss of your sweet doggy Milkshake.

My heart goes out to you. It is such a deep loss to lose a beloved four-legged family member. May you have the peace of knowing your love sustained her and stays connected to her even though she has passed on.
