How We Prepared Our Kids For Our Dog's Death

<p>At the beginning of June, our sweet (almost 14 year old) Rusty joined the heavenly angels. This episode is simply designed for you to hear my experience, simply because I would have loved to hear how someone else handled this situation. When your kids are involved, it just forces big life events like this with a need of intentionality. We handled this the best way for our family. I absolutely know that. However, this might not be the right thing for yours. My hope is that you take what you can and leave what you don't want. :)</p> <p> </p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>SHOW NOTES:</strong> <em>This post contains affiliate links.
