Today, I was outside searching for "treasures" with my son using small plastic shovels. All of a sudden he starts screaming. He dug up the bones of our old dog. I told him that we had sent him away to live on a farm, I even helped my son write letters to the farm owners. FML

Perhaps you should have buried the dog further down... he must've been awfully close to the surface if your son was able to reach the bones with a plastic shovel.

And this is why we shouldn't lie to our kids about dumb stuff. They can handle the truth.

awweee, the poor kid. haha, thats what you get. my parents also did that. they hid like so many animals that they said they sent to live with someone else; when really they burried them in our old yard. then one day the people who moved in came to my door and asked my dad to come and help them take all the dead animal bones out of thier garden. i cried; well this was a long time ago !

Number 12 Said it the best. Don't dig any deeper graves for yourself now.

LMAO!! This is really funny but now you must face the truth. I think it's safe to say children are much better at stomaching the truth than adults tend to give them credit for. He deserves that much.

Why couldn't you remember where you buried a family pet?! That's so sad. =(

I think this is fake. That being said, I think it would have been smarter to tell your kid when the dog passed away and used it as a chance to teach your child about healthy mourning. You could possibly still salvage a lesson about lies and how sometimes even adults tell them and how they shouldn't do that. It may not be this way for everyone, but my family raised me to feel as if the pets were members of the family, and you don't "send them away to a farm." You hold a little funeral and grieve.

your child could have, and should handle the death of a pet. i know it's hard to tell a child their pet died, but it's better than lying to them about it. my five year old child's cat died, after having her for three years (she got attacked by a dog, so it was sudden and unexpected). it was hard to tell her, but it was better than lying to her... atleast she won't find out by digging her pet up, and when she gets older, she'll know that atleast i respected her enough not to lie to her.

"Today, my mother and I were digging in the backyard with some plastic shovels. I found bones... with the fur still attached. It was my dog. Mom said he had went to a farm. I even wrote letters. FML." Either way, fake FML or not (who burries their dogs that shallow it can dug up like that? I burried my son's dog at least 6 feet), lying to your child isn't the way to go. Don't protect them with a bubble- they'll need to learn death sooner or later. It's hard, but you have to tell them.
