Aww poor Brutus, hope he feels better soon and is back to his old self soon. Now that mommy is back I'm sure he will with your extra TLC. I'm glad you had a great vacation, we need to do that sometimes, just to refresh and revive. Don't feel guilty. Don't be so hard on your family members, they probably didn't know how sensitive bullies are, and I'm sure they meant well. If there is a next time, maybe a detailed list of his routines, meals, amounts, and a detailed list of dos and donts for Brutus would help them with watching him. Sending love, hugs and prayers for you and Brutus. Please keep us posted on how he's doing.
