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.
