Same here. Sorry for your loss.

That's truly terrible.

I'm very sorry.

Dogs are better than the vast majority of people out there. :(

This.

That was my first thought...


Sorry to here and tell them and it will suck for a while...

Go rent old yeller...

A man went on vacation and asked his brother to watch his house, and take care of his cat, whom the man loved.

A few days later, he called his brother. "Hey! How's everything going?"

"Good," his brother said. "But the cat's dead."

"What? What do you mean, the cat's dead?!?"

"Sorry, man, it just died."

"Jesus, dude! You had to tell me like that?!?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, couldn't you break it to me a little easier? That was harsh!"

"How?"

"I dunno! Maybe the first time I talked to you, you could've said, 'The cat got out and is on the roof'. Then the next day you could've said, 'The cat fell off the roof'. Then the third day you could've said, 'The cat's not doing so good.' THEN you could've told me the cat died! You know, sort of ease me into it!"

"Oh, geez, bro, I'm sorry."

"That's okay, it was just a shock to hear you blurt it out like that." The man sighed. "So, anyway... how's ma?"

"Oh... she's on the roof."





















Hey, don't blame me, my dad told me that one.

ROFL

When I was a kid I got home from school and my dad was waiting for me with very serious look on his face. He told me to sit down that he had something to tell me. I was so nervous, then he said your mom is gone. I just started crying instantly, then he said he was just kidding, mom was fine, but the dog was gone. I was so relieved about my mom it made the dog news much easier to take. However, I can't recommend this approach.

That's just sick.

Buy your dad a drink for me, he's awesome. LMAO

You could do it subtley.

You could take the Wizard of Oz... and when they cheer "Ding dong the witch is dead" at the end of the movie...

you could edit the audio. "Hey kids, your dog is dead". Then you don't have to tell them... the movie can tell them.

I might of told them that Hannah Montana murdered your dog. Her or Sammy Kershaw. That way your kids grow up to hate country music.

He def has a way with telling things. When my parents got divorced after 30 years of marriage, he told me he was leaving because mom stopped putting out.

Get them some new dogs

Gather kids in a room and ask "All those here with a dog name Josie please step forward." And just about as they are halfway in stepping forward you say "Not so fast Kids".

........ Sorry for you loss......

In serious terms it sucks for you and them. Them for the loss but double for you and your wife because of the loss and then you have to see the kids deal with hurt. For a parent that is the worse thing because you can't do anything about it. On the positive side though this is a good life lesson (morbid thought I know) but one of let us as a family enjoy what we have today...... Good luck and you and your wife will find the correct way for them.

You should tell them the dogs turned mad and went into their room and started to destroy all their toys and you had no choice but to shoot them. that way they'll say thanks Dad.
