What should I tell the young kids in my neighborhood if they ask where my dog is when I had to put her to sleep last month? /u/druid_king9884 No such thing as stupid questions

I had a dog that I took for walks every day that the kids loved. She always wanted to take her red frisbee with her, and the kids that moved in this past year took a liking to my dog and threw the frisbee a few times for her. Unfortunately, we found out she had cancer last month and it was discovered much too late, and we had to put her to sleep the same day.

Today, I came home from work, and they were all excited, telling me what they got from Santa, and one of the kids said to another “this is the man with the frisbee dog”. I was about to say something, but I really didn’t know what to tell them if they asked where my dog is. These kids are no more than 6-7 years old and they adored my dog. I don’t want to say the wrong thing to them…what do I do if they ask?
