Hi Rena. I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Rufus. Your posted memory of him is amazing. You capture his personality that is, I am able to envision Rufus engaging in various behaviors and just being Rufus. You perfectly convey his behavior. I can relate, understand what its like to lose a beloved family member, companion, fur kid like Rufus. Our fur kids give of themselves, 100% each and every day. Rena, I understand the guilt you express because I've been there and yes, rationally it does not compute but emotionally, its different. I have replayed multiple times the end for my own sweet girl who I lost on June 15. I had to let her go to avoid her suffering. We risk the heartache and devastation of the loss but must let go out of love. You cried composing what you wrote, I cried reading it. I hope recalling memories of Rufus brings you peace, comfort, joy. And yes, the pics you posted show a compelling gaze. He is beautiful.

May your beloved Rufus rest in eternal peace with the knowledge that he was truly loved in his time on earth. Your sentiments show that Rufus will always have a place in your heart. Thank you for sharing the beautiful photos of Rufus.

Rena..a beautiful tribute to a great friend. As I have signed all of your babies sites Rufus is as beautiful as the rest . It is always hard to lose a furry young or old and I have lost both. But no matter what or for whatever reason they are always taken from us too soon leaving their forever pawprints within us. Be sure to know he is happy, healthy and playing with Oreo, Ralph and Eva while waiting for us to join them at the Bridge. If you have not already done so, I can send you my babies sites if you wish to visit..take care..

Sorry for your lost. You had made the right decisions. You did not let Rufus suffer. I put my Lab to sleep and sometimes I still feeling bad on it. When I remember my first Lab I was selfish and made him suffered for a while. The second one I believe I made the right decision. Time can heal, I lost my one last month so I understand your feeling. Take care. I believe Rufus don't want to see you unhappy , crying all days.

I'm so so sorry for the loss of your sweet Rufus. Thank you for sharing your precious memories. Time will heal our broken hearts. I lost my Charlie last year. I did get a new furry boy NOT to replace Charlie BUT to allow me to HEAL, GRIEVE and LOVE all at once. God Bless

I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Rufus. Please find comfort in knowing that Rufus is now at Rainbows Bridge and making lots of friends. Saying goodbye is never easy. I also lost my precious cat Spooky July 30th 2001 after 16 wonderful years with her. I have lost several babies since Spooky's passing. Hannah 1/11/13, Sammi 8/2/13,Maci 4/9/14, Gabbi 3/20/17, Zoe 1/3/18, Willow 6/4/18, Shelby 6/12/18, Bear 11/17/19 and Bella and Murphy who were both tragically poisoned on 06/18/20. I am sure that Rufus and my babies have all become good friends. You can visit with Spooky at: http://www.rainbowsbridge.com/residents/Spook002/resident.HTM Take Care, Susan

I'm sorry for the loss of your beloved Rufus, I hope Rufus and Spooky are enjoying a warm sunbeam while waiting for us to join them one day. I'm enclosing an Angel to watch over our babies.

Dear Rena, Words can not express how very sorry I am for the loss of your handsome Rufus. These babies come into our lives and often turn them upside down (in a good way). And when we have to say good-bye it leaves us hurting and feeling empty. I have been there 4 times this year, so I can appreciate how you are feeling. It brings me (and I hope you) comfort to know that they are happy and healthy and waiting for us at the Bridge. I promise it gets easier. One day you will be able to say his name and a gentle smile will come instead of the heartache. Many, many gentle hugs to you at this difficult time. Remember you are not alone! Dana

What a beautiful boy! My heart truly goes out to you in the loss of your precious Rufus, and I thank you for sharing so many wonderful thoughts and photos with us. As a cat lover myself, I appreciate your familiar descriptions of so many of the things that make cats so special (individually and as a species).

I am so sorry for your loss of Rufus. My heart goes out to you as I know you are struggling so with the loss of your precious baby. Your world has lost a very special baby, family member and friend, but the heavens have welcomed home a very special soul. Earth’s loss is heaven’s gain. I know you had a special relationship with Rufus that will always be a part of you. I pray that my sweet little girl, Bailey, found Rufus and they have become friends. May the precious love you shared with Rufus continue to warm your heart and I hope you find peace and comfort knowing that your love will bind you together forever. Peace and blessings to you. My precious Bailey left our world December 5th, 2013 and we miss her so. Please visit my Bailey at http://RainbowsBridge.com/residents/BAILE364/Resident.htm

For sweet Rufus, I know that during your lifetime you gave Rena much joy. Now I am wishing for you lots and lots of happiness playing in the meadows beyond the Rainbow Bridge. From looking at your photos and reading what Rena wrote for and about you it is obvious that you came from a very warm and loving home. Rufus, I have another wonderful playmate for you. His name is Pedro and although he is a little dog he is adorable just like you. I know you two will be very good friends. For Rena, I just visited your Rufus' Rainbows Bridge residency and wanted to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your precious Fur Angel. I am sure if asked, Rufus would have said that every day spent with you was a blessing. Having lost my little dog Pedro I can understand how you must be feeling and how much you must miss Rufus. Wishing you all the very best always, Rosalind (Pedro's Mom).

Renda: Rufus was loved beyond words. The tribute you have written about the love of your life and pictorials will be cherished like a treasure for an eternity. There is no doubt your life feels rearranged now without your permission. Reflect, honor and celebrate a soul whom shall never be forgotten as love never dies. Ever. This replica of your boy has been gifted especially for you...
