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.
