I would like to recommend a wonderful book that might help your family work through this sad time. My brother-in-law is a UU minister named Gary Kowalski and he wrote, years ago, a book that continues to help people losing a furry family member. It’s called Good-bye Friend. I hope you will consider adding it to your resource library. I have been through it with our children at all ages and it’s never easy. A wonderful picture book about death for children is called Tough Boris and the best for losing an old dog is Saying Good-bye to Lulu. This is a book to cherish, particularly with young children. It is the most sensitive book about losing an old dog that I’ve ever used with my groups of young children. Mary
