I'm so sorry about Rufus. I just wanted to say that I know how you feel. Smokey is 16 years old. He drinks water constantly, and pees all over. I know he just can't help it. He also coughs a lot. My mom and I know he won't be around much longer. We just hope one day we'll go to wake him up and he will already be gone. I don't know how to face putting him to sleep.
