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.

My last little boy died in my arms too, I still miss him so much. All my sympathy to you & yours, to others they may be just dogs, but to us that love them, they are our family.

Anne, I’m so sorry to hear about little Bitsy. I understand your sadness and hope it turns to really great memories soon. It is one of the hardest things we must do in life, I still miss our little Molly and it has been three years.

Dearest Anne, I’m shedding a tear too, for darling Bitsy Button. All my dogs have been strays and each with their own stories. I believe each little lost dog knows she is being given a second chance and their love is extra special. Bitsy really was a little angel, you could see it in her eyes. I know there is a dog heaven and she will be there. When my darling Toby was dying I looked out the window and there on the top law was Possum ( my much loved dog who died four years earlier and Toby’s best friend) she had come back to wait for Toby and take him to dog heaven. I know this seems fanciful but it was so real and I believe it really happened. I’m praying Possum and Toby will have come for Bitsy too. Much love and comforting hugs to you, I’m sure all your animal loving friends are sending you big hugs too.
