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. I remember when you adopted Milkshake and thought it was so wonderful she would live out her life in your warm care. The cost of loving pets is the pain of losing them. I have held three dearly loved dogs as they breathed their last. I still cry but I absolutely believe that easing their passage is our responsibility and thank you for all the love they have given us. God bless.
