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, Anne. I know how painful this can be, as I have lost many special dogs. I hope your happy memories of her will help you through this time. Hang in there.

Hi Anne. I’m so sorry to hear about Bitsy. Losing our cherished pets is one of the hardest things to experience in life. Thank you so much for sharing her with us. Hugs to you!

Hi Anne. We are thinking of you and Bitsy today. So sad to hear this news. She looked like she was the best of friends to you. When Lily (our little mini-dachshund died at just 3 years old) we knew and still know that she’s with us everyday because the paw print she left on our hearts was so memorable. Bitsy will be with you wherever you go.
Lots of love and many hugs to you! J&B
