This is how I look at these kinds of things... you could sell her to a 20 year old girl and that girl could die in an accident tomorrow. There are no guarantees in life. This 80 year old woman very well could outlive this pup but maybe you could gently discuss your concerns and somehow be assured that if something happens to the woman, your pup would either be taken back by you or another family member would take her in. Sometimes I worry about this myself - I'm only 44 but I tell my kids that if something should happen to me, they have to take care of my "girls". I would think at 80 years old, this woman must have some type of plan..... |
