It's hard to loose a fur buddy, especially when you have them for a long time. Though for some of us 5 minutes is long enough for them to steal away in our hearts. My condolences for your loss. I will agree with a statement made in a previous post, when the time is right, get another, it truly helps. I don't say this as a way to replace Augustuce, but to help fill the void left. God Bless you Sir.
