Tracy, as the owner of three dogs, a 10 yr old and 10 kids that are in my home each day (I own a daycare connected to my home) I can completely understand the situation you are in, and I Thank You for the email - if anything as a reminder to watch my puppies, and children very closly, as anything can happen, at any time, what happened to you could of happened to anyone, not that it makes it eisier for you to deal with, but you can't blame yourself or the kids, all you can do is use it as a learning experience, and go on - Good for you for bying the marker, it is a good reminder - and who cares what your husband thinks about it, you are dealing with it YOUR WAY- the service thing is a great idea, it gives the kids an outlet for thier feelings, and for you, and a way of coping with loss.  Connie Major

  IN LOVING MEMORY “MOCHA” 2006
 
Please remember “Never Leave out Buckets of Bleach Water when Kids and Puppies are around”!!
 
Please remember everyone; I had to learn the hard way.  I was cleaning the porch where I keep the dogs at night, Trixie , pizza and our new pug Mocha—I didn’t keep them in a cage, but now I will.
 
I told my son  to put the dogs out and my daughter, age 5 (son) age 7 daughter on the porch for the nite—here again, I did not watch my children do this—what a way to learn.  I didn’t check on the animals before I went to bed, cause I thought the kids put the dogs out they are ok.
 
I woke up to find the pug dead in the bucket of bleach water-my son had put her in there, he said she stunk—pugs are known to be gassy—“BROKE MY HEART” He didn’t tell me last nite that he did this cause he knew I would be mad—and stupid me didn’t check on them or hear them , and I have a feeling my daughter knew it too, and again it is my fault for not checking.  My son told me that he didn’t know dogs couldn’t swim.
 
Needless to say, we are having a funeral service tonight and I ordered a marker for the yard, it will cost 150.00, but I want my children to always see her grave and to know about death, the money means nothing compared to the loss, my husband probably will get really mad, but I don’t care.  I want my children to learn from this experience.   I really don’t think my son is mean, he just doesn’t understand, so tonight at the service, I hope he will.  I forgive him, and myself-otherwise if I didn’t, I don’t think I could go on.
 
Sincerely,
 
Tracey Shumaker
