(((ice))) you matter hon... kindness is where its at.... you can be strong to know that you have helped many today to understand the emotions of losing a loved one... i know you are kind in spirit, loving in heart.... let love care for you and the children as you are so very good at... dont let yourself feel inadequate at all as long as you are always doing what you can for your best health with that kind part of you that we have seen, it automatically affects those in your company... loving compassion such as yours makes a big difference in how i view the world.. just seeing it is there helps me remember that as i walk thru my days.... thank you always..

I have another unfortunate update, my other puppy (Bubba) has contracted parvo also even though he was vaccinated against it. His chances are better for survival as he has no outward signs of being sick. He has been admitted to the animal hospital, please keep him in your thoughts. I don't think I can handle losing this puppy. I have done everything right I don't understand how this can happen, he is up to date on shots.
Somehow I must help my children and husband through this, I just don't know how I am going to do that, the way I feel right now.

I am so very, very sorry!
Please try to remember that these puppies felt your love for them, and it made their lives easier. You freely gave them the gift of comfort...

I will keep you in my thoughts as you try and be brave for your kids and the trick&treating...
crying is still all right, though.
Follow their lead; kids are very honest about their feelings and respectful of yours...

Thank you for being the kind of person who gave love and care to these little furry ones...

Thank you everyone for your support.

dont put too much pressure on yourself to have all the answers for everyone... be easy and kind on you too ? you have done and are doing all the best caring for everyone... the kids can still enjoy halloween and enjoy learning about the cycle of life also... there are numerous aspects to life... we cannot maintain our health by feeling sad and depressed.. you are doing so well ice...

even tho this is a very sad day in respects, you understand so well the education of your children about these things... you understand about that which passes onward, but not less precious for it as so many of us do...

all may heal in time and joy is a possibility for all... its what the puppy came to provide and no doubt did for her short stay...

hold close the precious of the moment in your hearts and feel the love of kindness connect your feelings...

(((((((((((( nowheretorun )))))))))))) Thank you for your kind words. My children know all to well the cycle of life, I have tried very hard to explain everything I can and answer their questions when I can. It always amazes me how well my children cope with death, it's not that they don't care I think they really understand the cycle.
The children had a lot of fun trick or treating they went to every house they could, it was very heartwarming to watch them smiling and laughing with their cousins, there were a total of 9 kids and 5 adults that made up our group.
I am still worried about the puppy that I have in the hospital, he is the best little dog I have ever had and the kids are very attached to him too.

thank you for your kind instructions to me, ive rarely needed to explain the cycle but it is not a scary thing to me either... for me, everything is sacred, even tears, i am made to pause a moment in appreciation of what may be around me that i am yet unaware of and in that way, honor all... and it doesnt hurt to be aware

i am praying for th remaining puppy, the children are blessed.. thank you for sharing your love and kindness with us, i am truly grateful

Thank you for your kind words, it's been very important to me to teach the kids about this cycle, my parents didn't teach me so I had to find my own way. The funny thing about kids is that when you are trying to teach them something they end up teaching you something

Also thank you for keeping bubba in your prayers, poor little fellow needs everyone pulling for him.

you have the gentle heart of a warrior...
we do the best we can to protect while we teach and that often brings tears.

Thank you for your kind words, part of the lesson that I have taught my children is that it is ok to cry and be sad, those were things I was not taught.
