I just had Spencer do his daily reading. I found a story at the library about a family and their cat, who gets old and dies. I've been trying to prepare him for a similar situation in our family. Slippers is now 14 1/2 years old, over 100 in people years! He got a little teary as he read, but would never admit to it. He tries to be so stoic.
On a happier note, the boys are very excited about Christmas. One night I was peppered with questions from both sides. "How old is Santa Claus?" "What happens if he dies?" "Where does he get all his magic?" "Why does Santa have to be fat?" I did my best, but to their discouragement, I mostly had to say "I don't know."
