Thanks everyone for the kind words. This really has been hard on my husband specially since he has known Ruff longer.

Yes, Ruff was being taken care of by some friends. They didn't tell us about Ruff until we came home Thursday. They said he was fine Tuesday. But they didn't say anything about Wednesday. They said they found him dead on Thursday morning. They said they feed the everyone Wednesday but I really don't know. They act like they don't know when he passed away. So that is why I have no idea. I don't think I'll be letting them take care of my animals anymore. I just don't think they done their job right.
