Decision is made for tomorrow :( Woody has given me the signs that I needed to see and feel

[Marianne *OZZY & ZOEY]

This is the hardest thing I have had to do...New Jersey Doodles will know my "Doodlenot" Woody.  He would go to the doodle romps he is a golden lab mix just missing the poodle but, we did not want to leave him out..  He is now 16 and a half.  His health is failing fast.  In July our vet told us maybe 3 months if we were lucky and then he lives on morphine because of the pain.  He pants all the time, he is now walking and limping on every leg.  He is full of tumors not sure if they are cancer or not.  Now he is falling as he walks he seems happy but, yesterday when I threw his ball he only wanted to go catch one time. (If you know Woody you would know why this upsets me).  People tell me the dog will let me know when it is time. To watch this dog in pain and the struggle to walk is killing me. HELP I don't know what to do.  I would just like to hear from anyone that has had to make this terrible call.  

[Val,Cooper and Bently]

I'm so sorry for your loss :(

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

Thinking of you. I am so sorry.  You are doing the right thing.

[Carol and Banjo]

Marianne,  I'm so sorry.  Sending prayers to you and your family.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I am so sorry, Marianne. I believe that you are doing what Woody would ask you to do if he could, but I know that doesn't make it hurt any less. Thinking of you and your family, and sending hugs.

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."

[Sheila & Finnley]

I have no words to comfort your heart the way I would like to. It is very hard, it hurts. Woody knows all the love you have for him, and have given to him all these years. He loves you back just as much.

Thinking of you, sending prayers and hugs.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Marianne, This is the absolute worst thing about loving a dog. Having to say goodbye. Tomorrow will be a terrible day for you and your family, but Woody is ready. Hugs to you and I will be thinking about you!

[Bonnie and Kona]

Thinking of you. May you be blessed knowing you are sparing Woody from more pain.

[Lisa, Daisy & Dexter]

Hugs to you Marianne, sorry for your pain.

[Ginny Nightingale]

So sorry to hear it--I have been thru this myself too many times and you have certainly made the right call--it is tough no matter what you do--just hang in there and soon the pain will subside a bit. And think of Woody over the Rainbow Bridge with an unlimited number of ball to catch--poor guy....he will be happier soon.

[Sharon & Monty]

Hugs to you and your family.  Take care.
