So I've been asked about 15 times today...

Jodi&Joe

why Coachy went to heaven?  Can he come back?  Won't God fix him and send him back?  Cam has cried randomly throughout the day saying "I don't want Coachy to go to heaven!"  etc etc etc

And now, instead of my kids riding their scooters to "the shop" or "the tree job" --- they are riding them to "heaven."

By the way, heaven is at the end of the hallway leading to the garage!

So sad. I am not looking forward to explaining this to my own kids some day. Hugs to you and your family.

i lost my rottie last year, but luckily Ronan was too young to really notice/ask about it.

Oh, here's another one....

Joey just said he is going to call Heaven and ask for Coachy back. So he picked up his play phone and called and said "Hi Heaven.  Send Coachy back.  Thanks!"

Seriously --- if I didn't hear it with my own ears, I wouldn't believe it.

Then he said "mommy, do you have heaven's phone #?"  No honey, heaven doesn't have a phone #.  "Do you have God's phone #?"  No honey, God doesn't have a phone # either.  "then why do doctors have phone #'s?  How did the doctor get him up to heaven then?!" 

*gulp*

I'm so very sorry.

So sorry about the loss of your doggy.  I can't imagine how difficult it is to grieve and hold it together for the kids at the same time.
