My little Buttons was 3 months old when she came into my life. She was a precious baby who was very sick with distemper. We finally got her well and then she need surgery to correct a birth defect in her hind knees. Time went on and she brought much love and laughter into our home when her one hind leg went lame again with a torn cruciate ligament. She got through painful surgery but somehow during that surgery her trachea was damaged and she suffered with a nagging cough for 3 years. We discovered she was in the early stages of kidney failure and then she also had a leaking heart valve all the while her cough was worsening and worsening. Our Buttons could barely breath these last few days. We had to make the heartbreaking decision
to put her to sleep.
Her life was filled with illness but even through all of that she was always happy and trying to cheer us up
if we were down.
She was our pride and joy, the love of our life. I’m not sure if the hole she left in our heart will ever heal.
We will love her forever.
