I taught first grade for many years. I know how hard it is for a child to endure the loss of a pet. If you have a bookstore go get the book called, Dog Heaven by Cynthia Rylant. It is so good. I have it and I have written the names of the dogs I have lost in the little clouds. It is very comforting to read to a child who really doesn't understand. Hold her and keep her close because this is a really tough time. She truly lost a friend and she must know that Twisty is in dog heaven and is fine. 7 is a very special age, I love kids at 7 they believe every thing you tell them. Sweet and so innocent and you do not want to ruin their little spirits of joy and happiness. They must know that life is not always going to be happy but you will be with her. You are blessed to have her and I pray that in time she will be at peace with he little friend Twisty in a heavenly place. |
