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.

I am so sorry to hear this. What a lucky girl she was to have you in her life. Losing a beloved pet is so hard, but it must be comforting for you to know that there are so many of us sending love and prayers your way

So sorry to hear the sad news about Bitsy. My heart is breaking for you! It’s so difficult to lose a pet. The love and joy they bring to our lives is priceless. Don’t be hard on yourself for it takes a long time to accept their loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Oh Anne my heart hurts for you. You have been Bitsy’s angel mommy and now Bitsy is that little angel for you. Our cat Stewart William got his wings a few months back. He was a family member for 18 years and I so feel your pain. Ugh. However hard it is to say goodbye how much richer our lives are because of our furry friends. May I suggest another Airedale terrier puppy to turn your life upside down? I am only saying that to try to make you smile as I know you mentioned you used to have one. Ours is now almost two years old so you know to what I am referring. Peace be with you Anne.
