You're in My Heart Always!

I lost my sweet sweet little girl Tootsie this morning at 12 a.m. Thursday 2/7/2013. It is shocking to know how bad things can go in only 3 days.

She went from an active chubby terrior with curly hair on top of her head to an old dog with liver failure. She was 14 years old.

They wanted me to put her down, but I had things I needed to say. They said she wasn't in pain and I could tell she wasn't, so I took her home.

I told her where she was going and how much I loved her and that we would be together again and that her brother Bruty (we lost Bruty 7 months ago at the age of 15 1/2) was going to come and get her.

In less than 12 hours, Bruty came and Tootsie died in my arms. She was with me through everything. I lost both parents, and she was on my lap the whole time.

She loved hotdogs. Every night at 9:30 she would sit in front of the refrigerator to let me know it was hotdog time. She sat at my feet while I was doing dishes or cooking supper. I would vacuum and the cord would get stuck and there she was sitting on it.

She loved it when i fed her with a spoon. It made her feel special. She just didn't know how special to me she was.

This is a pain that only an animal lover feels. It hurts you to your soul. I feel so alone, and I am not alone. We have other pets but she was my girl, my Toot Toot. She never made a sound but the house seems so quiet.

For now, my love, go run and play with Bruty and we will come soon. You gave all you had to me. You did so good. Good girl!!!!

There is a place in my heart that will be yours forever.

Love you forever, mom and dad
