I seem to be letting myself relax into being on vacation even though I brought with me a pack of work-related things I could/should do. Peter says that Rufus is holding steady for now, but eating very little. I expect he'll be with us for a while yet.Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06476814211173076515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284703273171358436.post-86456202041294115192009-08-04T16:10:47.677-05:002009-08-04T16:10:47.677-05:00Change is in the air.

At least that's what I'm telling myself every day.<br /><br />I know exactly how you're feeling about Rufus. I went through all that recently. It's exhausting - all the worry and love and wondering what to do. I'm sorry Rufus is in his decline, and so glad that you're getting a break from it.<br /><br />That bus bathroom smell - half urine/half sanitizer - is really awful, isn't it? Beautiful picture. <br /><br />Hope you have a wonderful vacation.Reya Mellickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076092659507965666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284703273171358436.post-35763958761069825072009-08-04T00:32:43.208-05:002009-08-04T00:32:43.208-05:00So sorry to hear of Rufus's struggles.

I had a wonderful year in SLC, and did as much exploring as I could. It's beautiful country.<br /><br />Your words about Rufus' made me go look at my precious kitty and resolve to give her more time. She's only middle-aged and fine, but she gets neglected a bit now and then, and her time will come, too. It's a hard thing.<br /><br />The older I get, the more I enjoy those with siblings - and not just because the care of an aging parent could be spread around a bit. (That doesn't always happen anyway, as I'm often told.) But the thought of having those ties with brothers and sisters - it just seems luxurious in a real, very important way.<br /><br />Enjoy your time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284703273171358436.post-77263113666949545092009-08-02T09:56:13.521-05:002009-08-02T09:56:13.521-05:00So sorry to hear of Rufus' decline...to my med...So sorry to hear of Rufus' decline...to my medical eye it sounds very much like the time is coming.....hopefully he'll hang on until you get back...<br /><br />enjoy your time with your family..<br /><br />xomelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336474101204142611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284703273171358436.post-80390708500362071642009-08-02T09:44:53.002-05:002009-08-02T09:44:53.002-05:00Glad you got of that office.

My copywriting teacher said we're only allowed four exclamation marks a year. I used two of mine already, in my e-mail thanking her for the wonderful class, and she reminded me of that in her return e-mail.) I've really missed your blogging. (More restraint exhibited here.)<br />Have a wonderful trip.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999651435162692995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284703273171358436.post-44301954250809424962009-08-02T09:34:00.199-05:002009-08-02T09:34:00.199-05:00oooh big {hugs} about the puppy dog, sorry to hear...oooh big {hugs} about the puppy dog, sorry to hear.
