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

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.

It is a tribute to you and the good care that he has gotten that Woody has lived such a long life. I loved the picture with Ozzy.

I am going through the same thing as you are right now.My golden retriever will be thirteen on March 6.She was diagnosed with cushings disease a year and 1\2 ago.She is failing very fast in the last few months.I have to help her up the stairs because her back legs are so bad.She still eats,pees and poops so as long as she is doing that I will keep her.I can't imagine life without her.I cry a lot ....it is so hard.She knows when I am upset.I was laying with her on the floor crying last week and she hugged me with her paw.I have been struggling trying to get her meds in her...it is a fight some days but I always manage to get them in her.Her favorite game was fetch the ball but she can no longer play.I just pray to have her this Christmas and get very upset thinking she wont be with us next Christmas.I will say a prayer for you and Woody.
