I'm so sorry... It's just the hardest thing losing a much-loved pet. We lost our gorgeous doggy Charlie a couple of years ago, and to help Joey (now almost 5) understand & cope, we told him he'd gone to puppy heaven and we named a star in the night sky 'Charlie's star'. On clear night's before bed, we go out and say goodnight to Charlie. It still brings tears to my eyes, I miss him so much
