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 am so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my sweet dog two months ago today and I’m still crying over it. Not sure when I’ll be able to stop! Bitsy had a wonderful life and was blessed to be loved by you. I’m holding on to the thought that they are waiting for us in heaven!

Oh Anne my heart just broke when I read about Bitsy. No doubt about it – she was a very special friend- it was evident by just looking at her in your pictures. I think back to when she came to you and how it just seemed meant to be. I know you will carry the weight of her in your heart forever. My thoughts are with you and your family and all the four legged ones who also love Bitsy Button.

I am so sorry. When we lost Lizzie 3 years ago-I kept hearing her around the house for weeks. A good friend told me that her spirit would be there for me as long as I needed her. Took a few months til I let her go but still get sad when I think of losing her. I still have her sister and just dread the thought-they become part of us. I never thought I would have a chihauhau but don’t know what I was thinking. Please take comfort in knowing we all care!!
