I thought that I would be faced with that decision after Ramie's cancer had spread. My intent was to have him PTS when his quality of life was no longer what it should be, and I dreaded that day. In the end he spared me that though - happy and spunky till the end, he waited for his family to come home, then slipped away in my arms.
It was so quick, there was no way I could have gotten him to a vet in time. Ramie had saved my life twice in the 8 years he was with me, and he did this for me too.
RIP my angel Ramie
