Tomorrow is the day.
We take Bentley to the vet. He's four months old and time to be neutered.
"Olivia, I want you to remember that you can't feed Bentley in the morning because he is going to the vet for surgery and he has to have an empty tummy."
"What kind of surgery?"
"He's going to have surgery so that he can't have any puppies."
"But Mom, he's a boy. He can't have puppies."
"Oh, right. Well, he just has to have some tests and we want to make sure his tummy is empty so that he won't get a tummy ache."
"....(pause)....But Mom..."
"Olivia, Do you have any homework to do tonight? Let's go find your bookbag!"
....whew. Successfully avoided that topic for another day!

Spitting coffee...that's so funny! I think you did a good job, you don't want to give her more info then her little self can handle right now. Although, she seems pretty savvy to me!
That Olivia is one smart gal and I don't think you fooled her one bit!
One day, out of nowhere, she is going to hit you with more questions!!!
Bentley is soo cute...ya know, I still covet your dog!!!
Ahhh the joys of navigating innocence! What a treasure that Olivia still possesses such innocence in this age of so much innocence lost. Hope Bently is doing well!
Hugs.............

You're a really bad liar. I don't think Olivia is fooled by your little dance around that subject. Just tell her the trusth...she can take it.
How is Bentley? Did he survive his surgery? Is Olivia asking any more questions?
