I am so sorry for your situation. Would she mind is you took him and kept him in a carrier. I have one of those front pack carriers and Murfee rides in it a lot. That way there would be NO chance of him pooping in her precious house. I guess I just don't understand people who don't allow dogs in their houses...what if one of her grandchildren had an accident on her floor. Sorry I sound so negative. I don't really mean to be mean. You can come here for Thanksgiving
