Bitsy Button Sutton
I knew the day would come when we had to say goodbye to our sweet Bitsy. But time caught all of us by surprise this week, as she went into severe kidney failure. We couldn’t turn it around. We said goodbye to her yesterday, and she died in my arms. I would have gone with her if I could have.
She was our companion, a best friend and she gave us unconditional love. I feel so empty now that she is gone, like my heart has been hollowed. I see her everywhere.
Chelsea and Mooch were her friends and I know the house must feel empty for them too. When we came home without her, Chelsea walked all around the outside of the car sniffing.
Bitsy was a gift to us from heaven, and I’m so grateful for the time we had with her. She taught us so much. You can read about her here.
I hope the tears will stop in a few days, and my heart will fill with memories of her. For those of you who have been through the death of a pet, I know you understand the feeling.
Bitsy has her wings now and I hope she’s learning to use them well. I will miss her so much.
Hugs to each of you who have ever lost a pet.

Anne,
I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Bitsy. We had to put our beloved Bruno down on May 6 (very unexpectedly) and it was devastating for my husband and I (we don’t have any children). Our remaining pup has been dealing with grief since then, some days eating , some days not, wandering, pacing, panting. My husband and I both lost weight from not eating and not sleeping. That feeling in your stomach, the lump in your throat and the hole in your heart are so real and devastating.
Time will help to soothe the loss and help you to rejoice in the wonderful memories of your faithful and loving companion.
In the interim, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this very difficult time.

And hugs to you, Anne. I’m just so sorry for your loss.
