One of our dogs just got hit by a car
SO is at the vet with Simon (the dog) right now. It happened about 1/2 an hour ago...SO said things weren't looking good when he first saw him. I've already told DS (who's almost 3) that Simon is hurt pretty bad from a car and that he might come home okay and he might not...I also explained briefly about death and that when someone dies their bodies go to sleep forever but the things that make them wonderful go someplace else to wait for us. Ugh...I wasn't ready to give the D-E-A-T-H talk yet. Cross your fingers that everything is okay.
My heart just broke for you and your family. I have two dogs and my kids are so attached, so I can just imagine how hard it is to keep your composure but also try to explain all this to your son. I'm so, so sorry and I am keeping my fingers crossed and sending positive, healthy, comforting doggie vibes your way. Keep us posted.
Just another reason for me to hate cars.

I hope your dog is Ok and I'm sorry you had to have the death talk. We had ours when I kept finding dead baby bunnies all over the house that the cat brought in. It is such a complicated subject to approach with a small child. I like how you said that the things that make them wonderful go someplace else to wait. That was sweet and a real nice way to explain it. I'll be sending good thoght your way.
I hope he's okay. But you did a wonderful job explaining death on the spot.
