Oh Debbie ... I'm so sorry to hear that you've been feeling down about Tubby. It is a natural thing for us to worry about our loved ones (of any kind) when they are advancing in age .... and I don't have the magic words to make you feel better. I guess just try to do what you can to cherish each and every day that you have with the Tubster and have no regrets! However ... I think that Tubby is one strong and healthy boy, and is just ready for a little extra pampering in his retirement!!!!
