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 sorry for your loss of sweet Bitsy. I know how hard it is. I rescued a sweet dog who ended up having a liver shunt. Callie was a young dog when I got her, probably 2 they told me. She lived 7 years with me and she is one dog that got into my heart and is still there to this day. The journey, after loss, is a hard one. My heart hurts for you. I know who much you miss her. I’ll tell Callie to look out for her. I’m sure I know where they both are.

Lots of Love to your family. Losing a pet is losing a family member. I have always called my pets furry angels on
Earth. You give them love and they give so much more to you than you ever expected. They never judge you, they just love you. God bless you and your family. My heart aches with you. Thank you for sharing your Bitsy with us.
