You go and pick them up!  I was more upset about our family dog passing away then most human deaths I encountered as a child and teen.  Unless this was more a dog than a family pet, I just don't understand sending a dog off to euthanize, letting the kids play in camp all week, picking them up and saying "Oops, dog has been dead for 5 days now.  We told him, you loved him.  How was camp?"

I just don't get the infatuation with camp in this area.  They aren't quarantined.  It isn't mandatory to stay or go.  Some things are a tad bit more important than a summer camp.   What if grandmom died?  Would you just have the funeral and announce it the kids at pick-up? [/quote]

Really?  Grandma is the analogy you use?  [/quote]

NP but I was more traumatized by my dog dying than my grandma passing away.  I wasn't extremely close to her, my dog was much more sad of a time.  [/quote]
