My parents were also nervous about a puppy being too much for her, but they got a puppy anyway thinking that she would prefer it in the end. They were right. They got their first yorkie and Mandie is doing soo much better (she's almost 16yrs old). Beast (the yorkie) is so good to her too. He knows she's old and actually takes care of her. She was going blind when they got him and he has learned to guide her in the back yard. If Mandie is outside wandering around, my mom tells Beast to "Go get your sister" and he does! It's so cute! I think having Beast has actually given Mandie a few more years to live. She's 16yrs old, blind, and deaf... yet, happy.

How neat is that!!! That is the sweetest thing ever
