Dear Audrey, PLEASE forgive me for using Josie's name! I just noticed my stupid mistake! Of course, I was talking about Rufus; I had Josie and her "greedy bones" in my head!!!! You know, as I told you, getting old is rough stuff on the body and the brain; for us human too!

And do talk to your vet about some medic. for Rufus' arthritis! It made a world of difference for my Cody, and there are several to choose from. Often, being uncomfortable or achy can affect all other aspects of behavior, like eating! PLEASE give him the biggest hug you can muster and plant it right THERE!!! (That would be to the side of his nose, right below his eye; my favorite kissing spot!!) Love to Rufus and Josie!!! You're a very wonderful doggie Mom Audrey!!
