I think pets are good for helping children learn about the life cycle. I also agree that it is best to be honest and matter-of-fact. When my daughter (one in particular) starts to fear death, I assure her that, although there are no guarentees, she is here and I'm here today and that we can be happy for that; and that "God" doesn't usually take mommies from their children before they are capable of dealing with it. (I do get scared that if something happens she'll be angry with God, but I'm not sure what else to say to address her fear. Like you, Spanky, it is difficult. However, do know that it is a 6-year-old stage and she should outgrow it.)
