Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 awwww , this is a hard one.... one thing i found helpful for the kids is to put up a 'memorial photo page' for the pets with a pic of the pet.. the kids just seem to 'feel better' even if they dont often look at the pics online. http://tinyurl.com/5568w God bless, diane in nw mt ----- Original Message ----- From: Ybarra health Sent: Tuesday, August 17, 2004 4:39 PM Subject: fur babies speaking of animal members of the family.................. just had his first experience with the death of a pet yesterday. One of our hermit crabs died. It's name was Mr. Mega, and he had a rainbow painted shell. made a "grave marker" with a picture of the crab, and we had a ceremonial burial where we all said something special, and then prayed together. I sat with on the steps and told him the story of the Rainbow Bridge, and how some people believe that our pets wait for us there. I tied it in to the hermit crab's rainbow painted shell. We love our pets, of course. And it is sooooo hard to lose them, even for us as adults. Imagine how hard for a 6 (almost 7) year old. And our rat is not long for this side of eternity either. She is just getting too old. Ah, well, just remembering. pearlmoon@... wrote: Oh and I LOVE my fur babies too!
