So sorry about your dog! I love flower's idea of having a ceremony for your daughter to remember her dog by.

Thankfully the other kids translating for her won't be a problem.
We don't live in a bilingual area at all! Actually, it's very much monolingual but that language just doesn't include English so you'd think DD would be more interested in learning that language, right? The inlaws don't speak any English with her at all and understand nothing (although I think MIL is actually learning a few words thanks to DD!) yet DD still insists on speaking English with them.
It's funny DH and I were gone a few days this past week to set up everything with the move and DD stayed with the inlaws. We thought when we came back she would be speaking more in the local language but instead her English was so much clearer and she was speaking even more than before!
