My issue is do I say ok say goodbye to myles before i bring him to the vet or do I just bring him home and after burying him tell the kids he passed away how do i approach it?
they know he is sick they can see how he is plus we have a yorky pup which has had most of the kids attention so i know they have rudy so they will be ok
but i know they will miss him
i will make a special place in the yard for him and get a head stone
thanks i love your support it makes me feel better |
Denise,
I think, only you can decide if you let your children say "Good Bye" to Myles.
Since you talk them about God and Heaven, and dying, I think I would tell them that Myles is going to Heaven.
I like the "Rainbow Bridge" poem, however, it is my personal belief, that since God gave us dogs to be our companions, that He must have a place in Heaven for our special companions.
Again, that is only my personal belief.
