That’s so terrible. She’s suffering herself and now has to deal with the loss of her little best friend. That’s so sad. Are you sure she wants another dog so soon? Have you asked her? I’m only asking because I know when I lost my dog, I didn’t want another dog. I know her time is limited but still, remember, no dog can replace the one she lost. She will want to hang on to those memories of her dog. So unless you’ve asked her how she feels about another dog, I’d say, don’t get one as a surprise. I know you only mean well and I applaud your sensitivity, but wait and ask. One more note, If you’re grandma is dying, you have to consider who will take this dog once she’s gone. You just can’t get her another dog and not consider all aspects of it. God bless, I pray your grandma is comfortable.
