Thanks everyone!
Yes Im prepared to take on their dog if (god forbid) something happen to them... but they are healthy and happy and very indpendant... nothing will happen to them Im sure and I think even at 86 they will still be good to go. My grandfather does not want my grandmother to out live another dog and go through the pain. Its sweet of him in a strange way. Im sure if the perfect dog came around who was a bit older they would take it. But I think he'd prefer a younger dog who would be a lap dog for the most part. My granfather walks 4miles a day faithfully also, 2 in the morning and 2 at night. He has done this as long as I can remember! He is fit and would love a pup companion to walk with him also.
