(Perhaps they say he's a pet)

The doctor came out of the e.r. He shook his head. "I'm sorry, but he's gone. We tried everything we could"

Cindy tried to hold it together but it didn't work she cried and held michael even tighter. She couldn't believe her father was gone.

Michael let her cry into his shoulder. "I'm so sorry"

"we have to make his funeral special. it can't be boring because he wasn't a boring person," she said through tears. She hadn't been prepared for this.

Michael ordered a special casket. It was gold, with red velvet on the inside.

"You picked a lovely casket" Cindy said. She was in a black dress that went down to her knees and her hair wa tied in a half ponytail. They sat in the front row of chairs in the graveyard as the service began.

Sam wore a black suit, and Hunter a black collar. Michael gave the eulogy. "Cindy's father was good man with a careing heart. He loved his family, even though we are a bit unusual. He told me that being a grandpa was one of the best thing to happen to him, and that he was extremly proud of his daughter Cindy. Though he may be gone, he will live on forever in our hearts"

Cindy's eyes watered a bit but she was happy right now. She loved the eulogy michael was giving. She gave a little smile at him.

As the casket was lowered, Michael placed a rose on it. Sam and Hunter did the same.

Cindy placed a rose as well. She would miss her father much.

Michael put his arm around Cindy. "Your father will always be with you"

"i know," she said leaning her head on his shoulder.

Michael drove everyone home. Sam and Hunter were quite the whole time.

Cindy looked at sam and hunter in the mirror. She hoped they would be ok. she knew it would probably take them a while to get over it cause she knew it would take her a while as well.

At home, Michael knew that everyone needed some cheering up. "Who wan'ts ice cream?"

"maybe some ice cream would be a good idea. What do you think guys," cindy asked.

"Yay!" Sam and Hunter said in unison.

"ok lets go," cindy said.

Michael drove them all to the ice cream shop. "I want chocolate" Sam said. "Cookie dough!" Hunter shouted with glee.

" i'll take vanilla" cindy said.

Michael ordered them all cones. He got himself strawberry.

Cindy ate the ice cream. "this was the perfect idea," she said.

Hunter held his cone between his paws and got ice cream all over his muzzle.

Cindy giggled a little bit. "messy eater aren't you hunter," she said with a smile.

Hunter smiled and wagged his tail. Michael felt a cold wind. He knew something was coming.
