Yes it was very hard but he lived a good life and he was loved. He was my kids best friend. They took it really hard when he passed. They are so great with dogs though and I think that its because they have been raised with them. I have always had my hands in something concerning dogs whether it be working with rescues, fostering, working for the shelters, or just plain working with dogs. I have made sure that I have taught my kids the right way to deal with dogs. They are very gentle and cautious with dogs that they dont know and they make sure that they ask permission to touch any dogs that they dont know. They also know with the little breeds of dogs that they have to be a little more careful with them because they can break alot easier than the big dogs. Thier dad and step-mom have a yorkie that is only 3 pounds full grown and the kids think it is the coolest thing. SO I am happy that they are used to such a small dog. |
