    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.

    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 <3

    I'm going to remember this .. :'(

    @MANBEHINDTHEMASK

    So sorry ..

    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 deed

    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."

    Kiddo - "He's dead?!" [Waterworks]

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

    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! :)

    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.
    But when it happens no one is shocked.

    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?
