While I’m not old enough to be pondering passing away of natural causes just yet, i have wondered about what to do to provide for my two dogs if I were to die, due to accident or illness. I’d want them to be well-cared for and hopefully loved. Euthanizing them has never entered my mind.
What I have done in the past is talk to friends that I know would take care of my pups should something happen to me. There would be no way they could take the entire pack...but could take one. I have good friends that agreed. Of course they didn’t have to live up to their promises. The pups are gone and so far I’m not, lol.
I also took out pet insurance and put what money I could back for their care should I be unexpectedly be “called away”.
We adopted our dogs from a local rescue group; they will get the dogs back if anything happens to us. We’ve left their phone number at the kennel where we leave the pups if we go out of town.
I need to get our will changed to provide some $$ for their medical expenses, just in case. They are both sweet, sweet dogs, but one is an old dog (11?), and the other is just a “wild child” with a “flight” personality.
