Words are hard right now. Tomorrow will be a very, very sad day for me as I know it will be for you. You have shared so much of your precious Rufus with us these many months and I have come to love him so. There is something about those seniors, those loyal companions that have given us so much over the years, that completely steals my heart. I'm sure that you are doing what is best for Rufus. That is a decision for you and your family alone to make. But, I hope that you or another family memeber can garner the strength to be with this most beloved, lifelong companion when it is time. I know, I really, really know how hard that will be. If it helps at all, hold onto the thought that I, and so many of us, will be with you in spirit. Please, please, please give Rufus as many extra hugs and kisses as you can tonight and tell them they are from me and Star and Cody. All of my love to you and Rufus. Sandra
