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.

Dear Anne,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have also lost pets and have had several pass away in my arms. I always felt the least I could do was hold them while they passed so that they would not be afraid.
My heart goes out to you.
Sincerely,
Ann

Anne I am so sorry for your loss of Bitsy. It is so sad I have tears in my eyes right now. I am sending hugs to you. I feel your pain. They are our babies. They give us so much love and ask for nothing. I have been through this so many times and again one of these days will be going through it again. I say no more it is just to hard to loose them, but just remember we have to take the bad only to have the good. If we never had them in our lives we would has missed so much. I hope your pain soon turns into happy memories for you. It is hard to loose them but we wouldn’t want them suffering. One day we will see them on the other side of Rainbow Bridge . She will be in your heart forever. Lv Diane S.
