3. something very similar happened to me

when my beautiful mom died, and i lost our beautiful dog six weeks later.
after about a month my neighbor brought over a shelter dog for me (without my consent or knowledge i might add) and i was so devastated by my grief over my mom and my dog i couldn't even decide if i should keep her. she stayed and by the time i found out she was ten years old there was no way i could have given her back to the shelter. i had her for three brief years. i cried for her every day for nearly a year. and yet--no regrets. my time with her was worth all the sorrow of losing her.

5. Such a beautiful story

I know just how you feel. I took my mom's dog after she died and nursed this poor sick dog with every ounce of strength I had left. She died less than a year later and I'm still torn up about it.

4. This very nice but

Grandpa is really too old for a puppy.

6. As lovely as this is, I take your point

I adopt older dogs and two of mine found me because their elderly owners had died, and both of my pups had close calls. What I took from this, though, is that this is a family dog. The least that family can do is to take responsibility for a loved one's pets.
