My little one inscribed stars with tweezers!!

[hav3plus3]

I lost my beautiful Zara 3 weeks ago and have cried everyday since . She was always by my side wherever I went and we spent a fantastic 14 years together. I'm devastated and so desperate for doggy love, but my youngest made me smile...
Zara's ashes were returned to us last Tues. Thurs night, I was on the fone in my bedroom (Zara is kept by my bed where she always slept) and youngest found my tweezers!
Next morning, she picked up the box asking 'but HOW do they get the bones in here, Mummy?' To my horror, as I looked at the box, she's inscribed stars around the name on the brass plate.
After the initial shock, I smiled . How can I possibly be angry?

Awww, I'm really sorry to hear of your loss h3p3

Awww - I just lost my old 14 year old dog this weekend just gone. My young girls don't fully understand though I have tried to explain to them. They want to go and visit her in doggy heaven, but I explained to them it is way up above the clouds and I don't know how we get there. My youngest (almost 3) suggested we could get onto a big yellow dragon and fly up there - so sweet they care. I too am devastated without my first (fur) baby.

She keeps telling me that Zara's 'spirit' has left her just like in Disney's Hercules cartoon. Not fully understanding...
I did try to explain after a few days (once I'd managed to be able to speak that is!) and quite simply said 'You do understand that you're never going to see Zara again, don't you?' Her response being 'Der!! that's what dead means!!'... Stupid me! It's a good job she's around to keep my esteem going.

So sorry for both of you

I don't believe in Heaven except as a place where we meet all our loved ones again, two- and four- legged

A yellow dragon would be a pretty cool way to get there...

Hey Beautifulgirls, a suggestion for your little ones?... someone passed on 'the rainbow bridge' poem... at first I thought it was corny but the more I thought about it the easier it was to believe... very famous, author unknown - google it... it's a lovely idea to explain to children.
What I would say is that ever since, I've heard so much about rainbows that it's spooky! Even down to the colours of the rainbow in oil!!!

thanks for your kindness Bella

sorry, author not unknown!!! Doh!!

I will thanks
