Oh Besty! I do believe that letter is your masterpiece and speaks for so many of our babies that have left us ❤️ And on the flip side thank you dear sweet girl for loving a very special Lady and weird kid!

I hope Betsey writes something to Keaton to help her transition ♥️

I'm not crying, you're crying. **Running for the tissues**

My son came in when I was writing this and he said Mommy don't cry. And I said I'm ok. So he says it's just water, and ran out of the room, which had me chuckling

You had my crying, and thank you

It was a tough one to finish. It was almost like I didn't want it to end because it feels so final this way

I just found you, I have a nine year old rescue boxer who'd never left the house, and was abandoned by her owner who went on holiday and just left her as well as her Frenchie brother who we adopted too, and we had him just short of 2 years before he died quite suddenly in September. Your words resonated with me. Thank you

Thank you for reaching out. Hope you enjoy more of my rescue related stories. And so very sorry for your loss

In my mind, she talks like Julia Sugerbaker....so I read this in that tone....and it's perfect!!!!!!!!

Thank you. My Opie, I hope, feels the same. I've had dogs before but I don't recall feeling so shattered.

I'm sure your Opie feels the same.

For me I know I was upset about my previous dogs passing but there was a certain amount of awareness it was coming. Especially with my two that had DM. But with Betsey, I had no clue. So shattered is a perfect way to describe it.

This is just precious...and somehow, I do believe that Betsy dictated it to you. Just precious! Thank you for sharing this gem.
