I woke up and read my text messages. My 5 year old minature doxen was killed by another dog last night :'( I loved that freaking dog and raised him from when he was a puppy. I have no idea what to tell my 4 year old :(

tell him the truth
same situation happened with my parents, i was 3.
big german shephard killed our collie, which was the best dog we ever had

@braindroppings: awe sorry to hear that my friend, i think you should tell your 4 year old but slowly :)

I know, but what am I supposed to say happened to the dog? Or where he is going now? I don't believe in Heaven so I would feel awful telling my 4 year old that when it isn't what I believe. Ugh. I'll just say "the big rodeo in the sky". I don't know :/

Yes just the truth dont need the details but its always hard even when they die of old age

Awe im sorry about your doxie. Thats sad.

@brats52005: Thank you :3 It still sucks, but I'm okay about it now. He was an awesome dog!

Im so sorry for you loss. Im an animal lover and i had to have two kittens put to sleep last august. It broke my heart. If you ever ever need to talk msg me any time. Or i set up a Facebook group and there are some really lovely members. Its a group to help with bereavement. Its called Support For The Loss Of Our Pets. Feel free to check it out <3
