I don't know how it is in your household, but in mine, no one is happier to see me walk in the door at the end of the day than my dog, and no one is as greatful for the things that I do for him as my dog. ...And he never complains about the food I serve! Such unconditional adoration is very hard to come by, and you have every reason to mourn his passing.
I'm sure your daughter is upset, but kids do tend to be pretty resilient. It's probably worse for you because you need to do your own mourning plus worry about how your daughter is dealing with this loss. (as if you didn't really also have a ton of other "stuff" to distract)
Please keep posting.
