Episode 34- How We Prepared Our Kids For Our Dog’s Death

July 13, 2021 by Laura

At the beginning of June, our sweet (almost 14 year old) Rusty joined the heavenly angels. This episode is simply designed for you to hear my experience, simply because I would have loved to hear how someone else handled this situation. When your kids are involved, it just forces big life events like this with a need of intentionality. We handled this the best way for our family. I absolutely know that. However, this might not be the right thing for yours. My hope is that you take what you can and leave what you don’t want. 🙂

You can listen to episode 34 on your favorite podcast app or simply click the play button below. If you have a friend approaching this time of life, I’d be honored if you’d consider sharing this episode.

SNOVID Episode 22 Blueberry Eulogy
–Kirkland costco dog bed (I couldn’t find the one he has. It was round and huge) so linking to one that is similar on amazon.
–blanket (Rusty loved a good blanket…don’t we all??)
–Movoflex
–Costco joint supplement (this is what I would use first to try out. Then move to Movoflex if needed)
–Pet photo stepping stone
–Adirondack Stone Works (petmemorial.net) One of these little stones will be a future purchase for me.

Here are the photos I mentioned in the episode:
