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.

yes…..I feel your pain. On Thursday we lost our dear Dotte Girl Green Walls. She came to us through our vet, she had been hit by a car. The folks didn’t want her back. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen…..she came to share her life with us. She made it to 15 in April of this year. She had diabetes insipidus if I spelled that right. I have been lost these two days. Our home is quiet, even with four other dogs and six kitties. Dotte was so very bonded to me. I too held her through the Rainbow Bridge. She has her wings……
When I saw your little girls picture, I almost lost my breath. I knew too you were going through the same feeling as we are. My hubby says to remember all those good times we did share, the trips we took, and all those cookies we shared. I remember that last kiss……those eyes looking up at me. Oh how I miss my girl……..
My heart is broken, I will be thinking of you too and praying for you. We will never forget, not one day, not one week, not one moment. The pain is so great, I just hope I can get through this…….
Thank you for sharing…….I feel for you…….

So sorry for your loss of Bitsy; we had to say goodbye to our lhasa apso 8 years ago and it does leave a hole in your heart. We have now had Laura our cairn terrier for 7 years, and she’s the best thing I ever did! Luckily you are not totally alone, although your others will miss her for a long while.

My heart is so sad for you. We’ve been there and know you pain. I believe in the Rainbow Bridge. She will be waiting for you one day.
