[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand the PPs. Euthanizing the dog is part of being a responsible animal owner. It’s okay if she’s upset about it. You’re the adult. Do it, explain it, and let her be upset about it. She’ll understand it later. I might give her the option of being present or saying goodbye before the process. [/quote] +1 Came here to post the same. This is part of owning a pet. It sucks, but it is a critical responsibility and 9 years old is old enough to be able to have honest conversations about it.[/quote] +2. I don’t think it’s “rushing” adulthood to have age-appropriate conversations about death. I think it’s gross to lie to kids because you’re afraid of a tough conversation. [/quote]
