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.

Go to near by vet offices and look at their bulletin board. Every vet office, that i know of, has a bulletin board of animals that need to be re-homed. Find her an older dog that is already calmed down due to age. Those types of dogs are hardest to re-home, yet perfect for her. It's a win, win for all. Plus, the ones on vet office bulletin boards tend to be dogs that were already patients, as in, well taken care of, but just need a new home for various reasons. So they are already trained, housebroken, and mellow.

None. if your gran is in the last stages of lung cancer then no dog at all. I am sorry for the loss of your dog and that your grandma is sick. Best wishes.
