It's a lovely idea BUT you really need to ask your Grandma if she wants one. Don't forget that Pomeranians can live for 15+ years meaning that she'd be over 70 when the dog is in it's old age. Not that nowadays you could call 70 OLD! I'm sure that if she's fit and healthy then having a companion would be very good for her. BUT she MUST want it, and have the financial means to take care of it. Talk to her about it, it's better not to suddenly surprise someone of any age with the gift of an animal, and don't forget that it isn't just a pup, it's collar, lead, bedding, toys, food and of course Vet Bills! Take no notice of those who say she's too old, I'm already owned by a German Shepherd and intend getting a puppy soon and I'm only 2 years younger! I know lots of people who are elderly and they say having the dog 'gives them a reason to get up in the morning'. I'm a care-worker and dogs or cats can be a real Blessing for the Elderly and Dis-abled, and very beneficial to their health! Most of my clients have one or the other, if not both! I see nothing wrong with shedding a tear or two when a pet dies, and I cried like a baby when my fish died too, he was 30 years old and I missed him as much as any cat or dog! Good Luck, but don't be too disappointed if she says no.

Sorry to hear the sad news. So giving her anything like jewelry would really not matter. The best thing you could give her is two months of attention, caring and spending time with her. How about every day or a few times a week going to be with her, having lunch with her and maybe reading to her. The best gift you can give anyone is...your time. This way her birthday does not last only the one day...but every day that she has left. Life is short, dont miss any of it. After...you will have a lot of good memories also.

We had this problem with my mother in law that was diagnosed with liver cancer and given 3months to live {she survived 7 weeks 3 days after diagnosis}. The only thing we knew NOT go give her was flowers. We also knew not to sit around and feel sorry for her she told us she was to religious to be scared to die. It was also getting close to fall and we knew that she loved scarecrows, windchims, and those crystal things you hang in your windows. So we went out bought her some pumpkins {which she usually did herself every yr} and some gourds and put up her scarecrow dressed in its Winnie the pooh overalls and straw hat. Purchased her some very dainty windchims and 2 of those crystal things that go in your windows that when the sun hits them they show a prism on the walls. She loved it!! brought a smile to her face. And when she died on 11-4-06 the wind chimes we had bought her were in her room over her bed where she wanted them, said it brought her peace when she had them moved in there the day before her passing. And although we couldnt be there every day since we live 7 hours away we spent as much QUALITY time with her as we could on the weekends. Its not the amount of time its the quality

If she is still able to read (no sight or motor problems), you could construct a memory jar. You take a jar and decorate it (wrap it in fabric and ribbon or use paints to decorate it - or just buy a fancy one). Then, you write down happy memories about the person, like "I remember when I fell down and you dressed my wounds and gave me a cookie." - Stuff like that. Make it really personal. Also, you could get memories from other family members and include them all (put each person's name on their memory). You put each memory on its own slip of paper and put them in the jar. Then, when your grandma wants to, she can pull out a strip and read it. If pulling strips of paper out of a jar is too taxing for her (maybe because of arthritis or something) you could make her a memory journal and put all the memories on pages of a nice journal. Then, when she passes, you can place the journal in her coffin - or keep it for future generations.
When my grandfather was dying, I went on a road trip and took pictures of the fall leaves turning. He always liked that time of year and he was the one who introduced me to loving the fall colors. I had the pictures developed (this was a few years back) but he passed away before I could send them to him. I wrote him a long letter and wrapped the pictures up in it and placed them in his coffin at the funeral.
Before my grandmother died, I did genealogical research and found out that she was descended from European royalty. That made her day! :) I like that I was able to make her smile at a time when she was so sick.
Blessings to you and your family during this difficult time. Let your grandma know the lessons you have learned from her that you will carry for life. The best gift you can give her is to live a life that would make her proud. Good luck. :)

I am sorry to hear this, but to answer your question, I would give my dying grandmother or anyone for that matter, a updated picture of you and your family including brothers, sisters, mom, dad and anyone else you know your gram enjoyed, simply because you want to get her mind off of what is going to happen, and replace the thought with something good.

I'm sure she'd love anything you give her. Even if it's just spending the day with her. If you still want to give her a gift, consider making a scrap book with pictures of the family. Look at it with her and share memories. It'll be a good experience for both of you.

Just show her your love on a daily basis. Spend time with her, talking with her, reading her scripture. You do this on a daily basis and these memories will mean more than any material thing you can ever give her. You do this daily, and be sure to let her know everyday that you love her and that she is so very special. Lastly during this daily time pray with her. These things will mean so much to your grandmother.

Spending time with her. Maybe you have a pic of you and her together? If you do, frame it and hang it up for her.
My mother in law passed in October, her last b-day in was in August. We had a surprise party for her, a little one that is. And I took a frame that said my grandchildren and put pics of my 4 kids in there and hung it up for her.
Does your grandmother have cancer? If she does, another thing I did for my mom-in-law was sign her up for chemo angels. They're a group of volunteers who will send your grandma little gifts, flowers, cards, etc. just to brighten her day. If she has cancer, try siging her up if you think it would make her a little happier. And i'm sorry to hear about her not having much time.
