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 to hear about your dear, sweet Bitsy. I loved reading your stories about her, and seeing her photos. You are quite wonderful for taking her in, and I’m so sure she had more love than we could ever imagine from you! I hope your heart will be filled with wonderful memories of her in time, and I know she will always be with you. Sending love from me, and Claude and Marlene (OK, they’re cats, but they know, and are thinking of you, too!) xox

Anne, I’m so sorry to hear about your sweet Bitsy… I know how hard it is and so hard to let the pain go away. But I think she was happy to be in your arm at the last moment and made easier to move on to heaven. We lost our Kitty three years ago and he died sleeping next to my husband who had adore him most. I hope your empty space will be filled with happy memories of Bitsy and love of your family and friends. Our prayers are with you…
