You just brought back memories. My grandma was always a poodle person. She had some very NICE poodles in her day. One in paticular was her "Suzy" who lived to be 17. Unfortunately she was not active into her 17th year. She was pretty much ok until she was 15. When the time came to end her suffering (she could not walk for the last 2 months of her life and had to be held up to relieve herself) my grandparents placed her in their special spot with their other past dogs. That dredful first night without her which was pure hell on them, well they put a hamburger pattie on her resting spot and it was gone the next morning. Of course an animal such as a raccoon, ect got it, but to this day they feel their "Suzy Q" got it. I wish they could still have dogs...but cannot due to their health. Thanks for sharing about your hubby's grandma with the 17 year old.
