It will all depend on the type of granite. There are not alot of white graintes out there. Some will have problems with iron staining so having it outdoors is not a good idea. The Mount airy White is
one good one
as far as imprinting the paw print. I have not seen that done but Im sure someone can do it..Maybe as an etch or a laser engraving.

Happy 2010 all!

I have a question regarding the selection of granite.  I have a friend who recently lost her husband and she was thinking of getting white granite for his head stone.  Am I correct in thinking that white Granite will etch faster than other granites?  Or can you make a suggestion for selecting a granite that will last longer?

Also, her husband truly loved his dog and she was wondering if it is possible to make a cast print of the dog's paw and then fabricate a stone piece to the shape of the paw to place on his headstone.  Is there a way to do this?  Not really important, but I was wondering myself.

Thanks all and enjoy 2010.  It is going to be a great year and decade.
