  • Since you didn’t give the age of the kid, I’ll propose a middle ground between fully lying and being too hard on the kid:

    When I was little my dad told me our dog passed away in his sleep and he didn’t want me to see it. He talked about the joys of life and the negatives and how he wasn’t really living anyways at his old age.

    In actually the dog got so old it could hardly stand by himself so he went to the vet and got him put down. He explained this a couple years later when I was old enough to understand, though I did put two and two together by that point.
