@Hannah_Bows Sorry to hear it, Hannah.

I know a lot of followers on here either followed me because of my golden retriever Rufus or enjoyed my photos of him so it is with great sadness that I share the news that he passed on Saturday. He was the best dog I've ever known and will be missed forever. RIP my bestie ❤️
