We need to make the kindest/hardest decision for our 13 year old lab who has recently been diagnosed with a bone tumour . DH and I are upset enough but the thought of telling DD who is 9 and 7 year old DS who is particularly besotted with her, is particularly challenging. Do we tell them beforehand so that they can say goodbye (but how to explain making that choce?) or do we say that she died at the vets in the course of an operation or what?
