Thanks for the long comment. I knew you would understand and, no, I shan’t split them up. I didn’t do it before and Rufus, although he looked for Ben, was OK when Ben died.

I’m sure they understand. They sense when it’s a puppy and also when a dog is very old. There’s some sort of understanding, I’m sure.

I hope too, that there are many months in Rufus. I will enjoy the time we have left, however long that is. He has been a good dog and a wonderful companion.

It’s sad but it’s all part of having a dog in the first place, so you have to do what you have to do. That’s life!

Since I went through this, I know that it can last many months. And you’ll understand when the pain will be present and when it will be too much.
I beg your pardon for the following: do not split aboslutely the two dogs. Dino will miss Rufus, but for Rufus is important to see Dino around. And for Dino is important to look at Rufus.
The day when Argo died, I took my two cats to say him “goodbye”. It may seem stupid, however even Macchia was not scared (and normally he ran away). Like he understood, as Galileo, that Argo was at the end of his life. And I saw them for the next two weeks looking around in the garden, and in his doghouse, searching for Argo.
I’m close to you, and I hope that you can have many months with Rufus.
