People make WILLS all the time for this stuff! You have to plan ahead with your kids, money, belongings, animals. Its just something that needs to be done wether we like it or not. I hate thing of my grandma dieing but i know its gonna happen one day and she has already told everyone who gets what. IF you have multiple kids they will fight over stuff they want because its your and they want to be reminded of you. So it is good to divide stuff into who gets what. If you own a house you need to decide who that goes to. ITs a part of life we have to deal with. There is nothing wrong with it.

My step grandpa just died a year ago and he told my mom where his insurance policies were for when he died so she could take care of it since shes the most responsible. Its in his will all the money go to my Grandma but my mom was to help her get it. Well when he died and we had to look for this stuff for funeral costs and stuff he apparently moved them (he was kind of out of it around that time) and we found them but they were all accidental so nothing was covered! Guess what we know he has some others somewhere because he promised my grandma be taken care of but we cant ask him because he not here. It something that should have been takin care of before he died.

I can see your point, but it really depends on individual situations. In my case, I most certainly have to think about what will happen to my critters if I died because I know my husband would NOT do what I would want. Sadly, I couldn't count on him to keep them and take care of them. I know for a fact that he would sell them all. He has a completely different view on animals than I do and wouldn't think twice about sending them all off to unknown homes, and that's the last thing I want.

So, I do have a few people lined out in case anything happens to me. One is my aunt and the other is my sister, both are amazing with dogs and I don't think I could possibly find better homes. I know they would both do the right thing and take very good care of them.

I guess Bengi would go to my mom. She loves with to death, although she doesn't know a lot about the breed and how to take care of them, I'm pretty sure she would inform herself if she would need to.

Tiggerwit · 10-30-2007, 08:37 AM

My friend would take both Abby and Alphy. I've also made him promise to keep up with my girls. They are older 18 & 16 but dad is a bit of a dork and my friend would keep them on the straight and narrow.

It is a morbid thought and no one likes to think about these things, but I feel better knowing that everyone will be looked after.

trini&coco · 10-30-2007, 09:01 AM

wow...to think about it, I don't know anyone that would keep all five of mine...

Lou · 10-30-2007, 09:21 AM

I would actually give Cassie and Adie to Adie's breeder. She also works with small dog rescues and would be able to find a new home for them. I trust her to decide if they are too old to accept a third home. Ivan is another story. He is such a big dog I can't think of anyone but us that would want him. I have asked our neighbor to find him a good home. That is kind of hobby so I trust her to. If we died tomorrow another neighbor would snatch him up. He has always had german shepherds and he lost his last one a few months ago. He knows and loves Ivan.

Bruce's_Mom · 10-30-2007, 10:01 AM

Bruce would go with his Grandma and Grandpa, my parents...If they were gone he would go to my best friend Jill, his "Aunt"...Although I am hoping he stays right with me and we are all safe and sound!

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 10-30-2007, 10:16 AM

I am very lucky, in that I don't have to think about this, as I know with certainity that my parents would take my three and love them as much as I do. I don't even need to ask them, they know how much I love my babies and would take over the care of them. I currently live with them, and they help me take care of them now, so I know they would do great with my parents!! My yorkies are already super attached to my parents so that would be easy on them, Captain would be a little harder as he is attached to me, but it would helped to stay with the girls.

mtzisgodmother · 10-30-2007, 01:21 PM

my baby would be with his bestest friend mitzi & my bestest friend sonja would be his new mommy...i KNOW he would get just as much affection and care as i give him.... and i completely trust her more than anyone i know....

Jeri Cunningham · 10-30-2007, 01:27 PM

That is an easy one for me. My husband would take care of them if he was still here. If we both went together my Granddaughter gets the house and dogs as stated in our will. She has also promised to take good care of them so I'm not worried. Besides she is in her twenties so I know she would be around for them and would take such good care of then the may not miss me!

I'll probably have 4 or 5 one day. I'm thinking three girls and a boy and a girl maltese

EmrldShdwQueen · 10-30-2007, 03:57 PM

If something happened to me my boyfriend would get Maddie and Sophie...and the others would either go to my mom, or if she couldn't take them then back to the breeder where I got them.

Mine aren't going to family, family just has instructions about WHO they go to.

Join a dog group in your area, or a rescue, or find another way to get to know other animal lovers. It's through organizations like these that I've met the future guardians of my babies should anything happen to us.
