I'm so sorry! It's so devastating loosing a pet. We lost our pug
in '99. He was outside going potty and was stung by a bee. He had an
allergic reaction and died instantly. It's always very hard to get
over. I hope your little boy doesn't blame himself. I have a 6 y/o
son and a 3 y/o son so I know how they make innocent mistakes all
the time. My thoughts are with ya'll. ~Lacey

to teach our children, but please be careful to make sure your son
knows, that while you are saddened by the loss, you still love him.
Often we don't realize the devastating effect something like this
can have on a child. If he is feeling guilt or feeling like he
is "not loved" because of his actions, it could damage his psyche
for life. You will be in my prayers.

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.

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.
