Beloved golden retriever of 10 yrs has bone cancer. What do I tell my boys?
It's a terrible thing, and I wish it upon no one. Poor Sunny (our golden) is feeling more and more pain in her limb. The x-ray shows she has bone cancer. We'll likely have to put her down in the next week or two. Hard to think about it without getting choked up, and I don't typically get emotional. When that day comes, when we have to put her to rest -- what do I tell my boys? They are 4 and 6. I don't know if I should tell them everything, or nothing. They don't know what it's like to not have Sunny in the house. They'll want to know what has happened.
