Val, it's so sad that you had to let Duke go, but he is free of pain now. He knew how much you loved him, and he has left his pawprints in your heart forever. If he could talk now, he would thank you for doing this at the right time. I hope it will be a comfort to you that he had such a great life with you.

Rest in Peace, dear Duke! You will always be remembered.

(((((hugs)))))
