We discovered today that our 12 year old dog has an inoperable tumour - odds are it's cancer and we're going to lose her at some point this year. How am I going to explain this to my kids? My 3 year old is probably too young to care that much, but my 5 year old will, won't she? When do I tackle it? Do I wait until she's close to the end? Or do I start laying the groundwork now? We've had pets die, even recently, but none as important as Willow. I'll be upset and they'll see that.
