Sometimes it hits me all over again, although it has been 14 months since I had to let her go. I was putting in a new pet door yesterday because my 6 month old mixed breed dog Twister, although only approximately 6 months old, is well past 50 lbs. As I was installing the new door, I remembered how tiny Bitsy was, how she looked so small coming in the smallest door we could find (see pic). Also, whenever I put in a new door, or took one down to clean it well, Bitsy would be so scared of it, crying and shivering before she would get up the nerve to come through it! I think that her eyesight had gotten dim, and the new or cleaned doors just didn't smell right. I had to stop and find her photo, and share it on this forum. Sorry for the quality, I had to really enlarge it to show her, and enhanced it the best I could.

Miss you, my little girl!

Bless She really is the cutest little thing, ever. No wonder you still miss her so much. 14 months is still only a drop in a bucket compared to the amount of time you had with her. The fact that you still miss her, and that it still "hits you all over again" is a testament of your love for her. By keeping her memory alive, and the reminders, you're keeping her alive.

Thank you for sharing your precious Bitsy.
