I'm not sure how I would cope with having to have him put to sleep though. Tricky one, that.
I've always found over the years with our cats, it's a hard decision to make, but once the deed is done and you can see that your companion is at peace, it's a great relief.

On a couple of occasion vets have not let it be done until they were sure there was no other option. This is quite hard to bear as you can sometimes see that it would be better to end it sooner and let the animal go, but it's hard to argue with expertise if they want to keep trying.

At least we have the option to end it for our pets when the time comes rather than them carry on suffering.

Long may Biff continue to enrich your life.
