I truly understand how you feel, Audrey. It's a difficult decision but sometimes the only compassionate one. Your brother will eventually understand.

I had to pts a perfectly healthy 5 year old dog a few years ago. The vet left me alone with her to say goodbye after giving her a relaxing shot. A little later he and slipped in quietly and gave her the final shot. I cried a lot and I don't cry easily.

I had the remains cremated and scattered across the woods. I got a nice card from the place that did it.

I believe as Logan does, that the soul is gone before we hit the parking lot.

And you can't do more for Rufus than release him from his pain.
