  How did you know what to do with the poor little poodle?  I advised her to tell her sister now because only her sister can make the decisions about burial or cremation.  Surely she can't just let the poor thing wait, especially in this heat.  You really can't wait too long for those decisions.  She might want a lock of hair, etc. there are just so many little details that only the owner of the beloved dog can determine.   She is going to have a hard enough time with this, I guess I am trying to put myself in her shoes, and I would most definately want to know.  But then, I would have probably called each day and I don't think you could hold back if you talked to someone in this circumstance.  There probably is no wrong or right answer in this case.  It is going to be really hard, no matter what.
