Yeager I am very sorry for your loss of Tuffy.
I think I understand your pain.
My adored blue Russian, Figaro, is now ten years old.
How can somebody believe that an animal (as we are too) has no soul or spirit?
My thoughts go to you and Tuffy. As for Figaro, I will lose him someday, but as long as I fly sims he will live in my callsign.
All the best, and all my prayers.
Figaro
