Audrey, I know this day has been a long time coming and that you've already done some of your grieving because of that. Your tribute to Rufus is just beautiful. I wish I had the skill to do something like that. It is really, really remarkable.

You were very brave to be at Rufus side during this time. Your words brought tears to my eyes. I hope that you are at peace with the decision to let Rufus go. It was made with all the care and love possible. You were a kind and caring guardian as he was a good dog.
