There is nothing I could add to make you feel better about the inevitable task of informing your daughter and you all losing a member of your family to "Doggy Heaven."
I was 9 when my dog died protecting our family home from thieves, and I remember crying for weeks. She was my baby. The one I told my inner most thoughts to. My first real BFF. I agree with Deadlifts ... Bite the bullet and tell her the truth in the gentlest possible way.slimgirljo15 wrote: »tinkerhellraiser wrote: »MANBEHINDTHEMASK_ wrote: »Working out the best way to tell my little girl her best friend is going to ‘Doggy Heaven’ on Monday
this is random but please stay in the room with the pup when they do it (if she cant it’s understandable but like someone the pup knows should be there with him). a vet told me that when u leave and it happens they can panic and look for you to comfort them but you are gone, and it was so sad that it stuck with me.
sorry for your loss too
I'm going to remember this ..

Thankyou all for the kind words
@tinkerhellraiser I'll be there until the very end with him. She won't be there for it fortunately - i only see her weekends so Sunday she can say goodbye, Monday is when the Vet is coming to do the deed2 -

We told our son that our dog's body got really sick so his spirit was going to go up to the stars to keep watch over him. For years he'd find the brightest star in the sky and say "That's Charlie!"
I did blow it once, though, last year later when I said "What do you mean? We didn't get rid of Charlie. He got cancer and died."

Good luck. I understand wanting to be strong for her sake, but that's legit sad for both of you.2 -

I'm so sorry. Some good advice already given. My friend went through this with her daughter. She found some children's books that helped.
Thankyou!WorkerDrone83 wrote: »MANBEHINDTHEMASK_ wrote: »Working out the best way to tell my little girl her best friend is going to ‘Doggy Heaven’ on Monday

Thinking about getting my teen her first cell phone. I'm so over protective when it comes to my kids but I think its time to realize she's not my little girl anymore plus, I need to know where she's at at every hour of the day

It’s very rare that a defibrillator fails.

Was thinking about this the other day, at what age do you give your kid a phone?
I was surprised that one of my friends 8 year old daughter had a phone. I get it, it's good to be able to get a hold of your kid, and it's maybe a safety thing too (altho an 8 year old should be in adult supervision, imo) but I was a bit surprised.
And do you/should you look throu your kids phone?
As a teen, I'm assuming that would be a no, don't think it would go over well, but a younger child?0 -

I pretty much always have sound advice to give......its rare that there is a sound mind to listen to it however.....;)
Its funny how the most obvious things are usually the most ignored....6 -

In my opinion, this is another way for parents not to deal with their kids. As adults we have so much going on in our lives that we tend to ignore our kids to some extent. Giving them electronics- game consoles,phones, tablets... is just another way to make day to day life less complicated. Kids are distracted, parents have more time to deal with their issues. I made the mistake of giving my daughter a tablet for her 12th birthday. I didn't monitor her because I was so wrapped up in my own issues... I almost lost my daughter be cause of my negligence and it's a guilt I carry everyday. She has come a long way since then but this is why I refuse to get my 9 yr old anything that you can access any kind of social media platforms or internet access. If you decide to give your kids phones, you have to have that responsibility to make sure they are not in harm's way. A child doesn't know any better and can easily be brainwashed. That's my thoughts on that.5 -

We told the boys at any time we can check their phones. We've had to pull Snapchat, but not so much as for what my boys do, but just the misc stuff people post on theirs. Truly a cesspool of stuff. They both do FB and IG, and they are pretty safe, comparatively safe. We use Live360 for tracking and both know it is there. Has worked out well enough. Good luck.1 -

Thanks for sharing!
I don't have kids so it's interesting to me...kids today and the difference with all the tech they have compared to what we had.
I remember my friends little girl wanted a coach purse and an iPhone for Christmas when she was 5, lol!
