Oh the thought of not knowing exactly what is going to happen to my babies when I am gone makes me sick to my stomach.
Obviously, if I pass on, DH will keep them.
We have discussed this at length (it was a long car ride from NC to KY lol) and so we are still in the deciding stage on who gets the babies. We have primary people for all the dogs but are still deciding on the cats. We are needing to come up with secondary people for all of them. I will be typing up a very detailed informational sheet with copies of their recent records, etc. Each pet will also come with a "trust fund" which should cover their expenses (even some spoiling hehe) until they come see me again in Heaven.
The mere thought of them being in a pound/shelter for even a moment makes me so sad.
Even the thought of them being placed with certain people in my family makes me sick to my stomach! I know that my family will not understand the "pet trust fund" but they are my babies and I want to make sure they are taken care of. I know that it will be asking a lot for someone to care for them (they can be rotten sometimes lol). I can just picture some of my family members' faces when the will is read and the dogs/cats will get more than some of them will lol Aren't I bad? lol
When I mentioned the "trust fund" to DH he was at 1st taken back, like "what?!" but after I explained, he totally agreed. We want to make sure that the people that we leave them to are completely trustworthy and that if there ever is an emergency, there will be no doubt. I want them to be able to have whatever meds they need (Ginger has MVD and is on meds/prescription food) and I don't want my babies to be a financial burden on anyone.
I told DH though that even though we are planning all this out now, we won't have to use it b/c my babies are going to live forever.
hehe
