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’m so so sorry, Anne. She was such a beautiful creature. All I can say is to look forward to the day when your tears turn into smiles when you think of her.

I am so sorry. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things. Bitsy had a big heart. Thank you for sharing her with all of us.

So sorry to hear about sweet little Bitsy Button. I know and understand the feeling of loss when a beloved pet passes on. I still cry about my Sparky dog and he passed away 7 years ago. However, the sad memory will be replaced by so very many happy dog memories. She will live on in your heart and in all those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
