How do people do it??
It's not easy. I cried and cried. Our boys were 6 and 8 when we got the dog. They had grown up and moved out. Honestly, I think it was harder on me than them. He was part of the family and so good with the boys. DH kept telling me that we had to do something, and I put it off as long as I could. Our only regret is that DH had the dog buried in a pet cemetary (unmarked). DS2 was very upset that we didn't have the presence of mind to bring him home and bury him in the yard.
