I know how difficult that must have been for you, how uncomfortable, I am often torn when I hear of an older or unhealthy person getting a pup...recently my mom's cat died and she wanted another one right away...my mom is terminally ill...I know her time here is shortened...I found a group here that gives cats to foster to old folks and then takes them back IF/When something happens. Luckily for me my Vet gave my mom one of her cats with the understanding that should something happen she will take him back...I felt very good about that.

I know they are therapeutic but it seems so unfair to put a home "temporarily" or risk its care because of circumstances like you witnessed....I love the elderly folks so much and no how loving they are....but I'm glad I don't have to make these types of decisions.

I think you made the right choice and I'm sure she knows and understands, just sorry you had to be put in that situation....maybe you go visit from time to time with a dog or 2???
