Today, on my daughter's 9th birthday, I have to let her know that her dog died in his sleep overnight. Happy birthday. FML
JDCH_99 tells us more.
OP here -- we told her. We didn't have a choice. She was devastated and will be for some time. She's spent considerable time at farms, so she gets the whole cycle-of-life thing but it's different when there is an emotional connection. There won't be any dogs in the near future. Maybe in the spring we can talk about adopting a rescue dog.

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What? On practically the same day her dog died? Most people grieve for a while before they just up and get a new dog/pet.

She's 9, she's going to notice her dog is missing.

Well, at least she wasn't woken up on her birthday only to be told a huge tragedy had happened and no one would come to your next birthdays and some people would even scowl at you for mentioning the date. Happy birthday to me, you're all invited. The date? Oh, yeah, it's September 11th
