Hey Wiki,

((((((huge hugs))))))) I am so, so sorry about the loss of your Dog. I don't think some people realise how painful the loss of a pet can be. Animals have their own personalities and they enrich our lives, so the loss of them is very much the same as grieving for a person in many ways. I cried when my dog died and I even cried in Therapy talking about my cat who was missing (and didn't return) I hadn't ever cried infront of that T until then.
I think you have every right to feel upset by feeling there is no continuity in your sessions. Every session must almost feel like starting again if he doesn't follow on from other things you have spoken about? It's clear you have tried to keep this continuity by emailing between sessions but he is still not providing this for you, which he should be.
For a T to say they will call and then to not contact you at all, especially after you have asked for an extra session because you are distressed is wrong and incompetent.
I am not surprised you are feeling more like a number than an important person with valid issues.

I think you have three options, 1) addressing the issue with him, explaining why you feel upset and what you need from him, 2) End therapy with him and find someone who can better support you or 3) stay with your current therapist, hoping he will change but risking feeling more hurt by his way of conducting therapy.

You have a right to see a T who can at the very least provide continuity of care
