Abby's Mommy,
Thank you for posting that
Isn't that amazing that children can seem to accept death better than most adults?
They just say exactly what they feel, and such gems come from them
This reminds me, I had such a hard time accepting that Rachael had to leave me. In fact, I found that I sheltered my other dog from it as well. I didn't let Danny (our 3 year old black lab) see her after I brought her home to bury her. I didn't let him come out in the yard when my husband dug her grave. I also didn't let him see us bury her. I thought of him as my child, and thought I was sheltering him from the pain. Yet, these brave people let their child observe and it didn't seem to have scared him for life.
