Sooo... I am trying to be optimistic about the time Chewy has left. But I also need to prepare for the inevitable. How do I explain to my kids (8 & 3) what happened when we have to put Chewy to sleep? As much as it kills me, my husband and I have had to start making plans. We have decided to make a proper grave for him in our yard, and we are going to plant a tree there.
I hate even talking about all this, but I would like some opinions and advice. I thought it might help if we have a grave side funeral I guess is the best way to put it. I am making a marker for it. Chewy has been with us since my daughter was an infant. He is HER dog. She is 3. I don't know what to do... I am scared of how she will take it. My son is 8 and has Asperger's. He is VERY attached to Chewy as well. We all are. I don't know what to do? Should I let my son come to the vet when it's time? I am worried I will be a wreck. I can't even talk about it without losing it...
Any advice?? Thanks in advance. You have all been so wonderful and supportive so far!
