I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

I didn't think this was a plausible excuse since any company hosting a special event design from the beginning to bringing the most amount of attendees they could (how many does a theater hold?) would cancel the event at the last minute due to one person's death in the family. One would think the sales or PR team would be able to hold together a 13 to 20 minute presentation without one person. The show must go on, as they say.
I mean, unless it was a famous headliner, most people have a backup plan or are prepared to go on in case of a situation like this one.
