I have thought about this alot. IF anything happened to me the ONLY person in my family that I would trust would be my mom. THe rest are horrible, awful pet owners! With both my dogs being under 4 yrs old, and my mom being almost 69, I'm not certain that she would be in good enough health to see them live into their senior years and I would hate for them to lose owners twice.
SO... With my pit Laney I have a friend I met through a msg board (petfinder) and she understands 100% the special needs of pits and her dogs are spoiled to pieces. I actually have given my mom her info if anything does happen to me, so she can contact her to get Laney. She would foster Laney until a GREAT home could be found (and she is super picky wit her fosters) and if a good home could not be found, she has said she would keep Laney.
With Slade, my best friend who has a boxer and a rescued maltese/shih tzu/lhasa mix, has first dibs on Slade. SHe is like SLades 2nd mama anyway. If for some reason she could not take him at the time, He would go to the friend in Texas who would find the perfect family for him.
My babies are super spoiled adn I love them so much I don't want them to end up with just anyone. |
