Today has been a day of tears, sadness and heartache. Our beloved pomeranian Little Bit died. We were lucky and privileged to have her for 10 years and she was the funniest little dog but also a love.
It was just a year and four months ago that we said good-bye to our Sheltie Princess. The pain is now double and as I stated before those who have never bonded with a pet will not really understand. These incredible creatures that God has created give us so much love and joy that they become a family member and it is so difficult when they leave.
Little Bit was a christmas gift to our daughter Candace. Months before Christmas she had stated that she wanted a pomeranian in a basket with a big bow under the christmas tree. That was all my husband needed to start the search and he found her in Virginia. Keith's parents happened to be coming for Christmas and they brought Little Bit, by plane, to Texas from Virginia. It was a delightful moment to see Candace's face light up when she walked through the door and found this wonderful ball of fluff under the Christmas tree. This moment is a treasure on my heart and one of my favorite memories of my oldest daughter and Little Bit.
She loved to ride in the car, guard her slippers, steal the cats food and treats and wanted as much attention we could give her. I am so very grateful that we all got the chance to say good-bye and I do believe that there is a special place in heaven for our pets. I picture Princess going to greet Little Bit and together they are running and playing. I hope she knows how much she was loved and how much she will be missed.
