Loss of a friend

[McMathTX]

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Pets become a part of the family so fast and it's tough to say goodbye. Nine years with your friend should provide you with a lot of fine memories.

Thank you all for your kind words.

I guess it is fortunate for me that my 12 year old Daughter (the ultimate animal lover) was here when Cindre died. She was able to tell her she was a good dog, and that she loved her. After hearing that Cindre closed her eyes and stopped breathing.

I feel guilty now that I commented that my house was a zoo. I like it being a zoo. Now the house feels empty even though there is a Black Lab (Melanea), Miniature Schnauzer (Hans), and several cats roaming around.

Thank you all again for letting me "talk" about what is on my mind.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Our pets certainly develope into members of the family, and are missed just as much at times.

Here are some sites and another poem I found when my Nikita passed away in 2004.

You can create a virtual memorial to your lost pet at the last link. My Nikita rests there. I go to visit her often

I see people with dogs that aren't given much chance to become part of the family, you have just lost a lovely dog who had a happy life.

My condolences.
