Hey wii...my 2 brain cells have been overloaded to process stuff and respond with anything of use.

I have DD today who's been traumatized by seeing her half eaten cat that they just got. She was telling me about how nice he was and he was only 2 and would follow her around and play with the kitten they got. She told me she found it's head and the back leg and the rest of it was eaten by the coyote. I think it's probably the images that are hurting her so much. I told her a story about my childhood when I used to have a few pets and a couple got eaten by other animals. I told her it's just how nature works, the lions eat coyotes, coyotes eat cats, cats eat mice and birds, birds eat worms and bugs and so on. I'm sure some of it is hard for her to understand but I think a lot of it sank in. Of course, I'm trying to not make a big deal about it but when she gets sad and wants to say something about it then I talk to her otherwise we've been playing and coloring etc.

It's also really hot here- in the mid 90F during the day.
