[quote=Anonymous]This post has unfortunate timing since someone else posted about a dog issue already but I have one as well but it's very different from the other persons post. I had to have my dog put to sleep yesterday due to severe liver failure. She was very sweet and I have had her several years. I am very upset and having a hard time with doing anything other than spacing out today. I am trying to help the children deal with this as well. I know your probably thinking what do the children have to do with your dog? The family I work for has a chocolate lab and my dog was over several days a week for the past nearly 3 years that I have been with this family and would spend the day with their dog. The kids know my dog is gone and I don't really know what to say to them to help them feel better about this when I am hurting myself. Other than saying she is in dog heaven now and that she isn't hurting anymore I don't know what else to say to them. They are hurting right along with me and it's very sad. I know I need to shake it off and act happier for the kids but sometimes I feel like it's ok for them to see that an adult can be sad to and that we also have bad things happen. Is it ok for us all to just have a sad day? [/quote]
