Our elderly dog is going to be put down within the next week or so and we are wondering about how to explain it to our DD1 (3.5yrs). We have talked about how he is old for a dog and might die soon which she seems OK with, and we talked about burrying him in the garden with his bone and blanket. But then she said she didn't want him to be alone and cold under the ground. Is she too young to understand about the soul (or a bit of him) going to heaven and how would I explain that anyway?
