[QUOTE="hillbilly beef man, post: 1608705, member: 4786"] Be honest with them. They need to understand that death is a part of life, especially if they are going to have livestock. Our son lost his first dog when he was three. My wife and I were worried about how to handle it. We finally agreed to just tell him the truth. He cried for a little while, and then wanted to help me bury her. This was a good decision in the long run. At six now he understands that all of us are only here for a little while, and death is a natural part of life just like birth. [/QUOTE]
