I have really thought about this and I hope there would never be a reason I would have to rehome my girls, except for my own death. I have also made arrangements with a friend, in that case.

But, I know there are circumstances that just cannot be predicted. I have always thought that the weirdest things can happen.

Your question really makes me think, if nothing else. I am with you on the tears, hearing the lady's story about her accident and lack of ability in being a good pet owner.

I agree with you ladies. For me and my pups, given our situation, death/illness/severe injury are the only things that could make me part with them.

Lovespandp just made a good point though - what if you truly felt the change was in the pet's best interests like she did? I'm blessed to never have been in her situation.....I can't imagine how difficult that was for her to do.
