Good info with specifics in the article.

My pets aren’t GETTING anything, but my Bestie is in charge of taking them in, or finding them good homes. And it’s in my Will.
Knowing her, she’ll keep my chickens, at a minimum, LOL!
Pets are just substitute children for a certain percentage of the population. Writing pets into wills used to be the forte of rich, elderly women.
We set up a trust for our pets,especially our horses.To much animal cruelty out there to take a chance.
I think this is what the Roman’s did on the way to collapse.
Whoever takes my pet at the time, and there’s a list, will receive not only financial support for the pet but a portion of my estate. I figure if I love something I want it taken care of after I die. (Since I’m alone now, I leave half a gallon of water out and a big bowl of dry food, in case it takes somebody a while to find my body.)
My dogs come from a specific rescue organization. If I pass away, the rescue will take them back to find new homes but I have provided funds to the rescue to take care of them and other dogs in my will.
Waiting to see the day people can marry their pets to avoid the inheritance penalty.
That was the excuse we were given for same sex marriage norming.
Especially if you have a parrot, like me.
Ours is only 21. Macaws live to be nearly 100.
Of course we are child free, in our early 50’s and own two houses free and clear; gonna be one well set up parrot.
My dogs are so awesome that friends and family are going to be fighting over them when I check out!
Don’t forget Hairy is Dog of the Year 2013! :D Yea Hairy!
Buddy gets our house and cars, Coco gets the jewelry. :-)
With their blood?
I made out my will this past year. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and the family lawyer was very kind explaining everything to me.
Since I’m single, no children it went quick, I own stocks, bonds, 401, etc and all that needed to be sorted out when I died. Which family member would inherit, which charities, etc. I learned if I died with out a will the State would get my 401 and savings.
I left a nice chunk of change, 5k to an animal charity for the perpetual care or any pets I may have so they would be taken care of and not destroyed.
Alas, my kitty crossed the Rainbow Bridge on New Years Eve . I did leave FR a small gift as well. But it may be twenty or thirty years before you all see it......
It may sounds kind of silly, but this is really an issue. Pet of dead owners can end up in the pound or completely abandoned if arrangements haven’t been made beforehand.
Before my mother died, she requested that her ashes be mingled with those of her nasty, deceased dog. She had four ex-husbands by then -- she dumped two of them and buried the other two, who probably had willed their own deaths. She couldn't get along with anything that went about on two legs.
My sister and I did as she asked. My sister later said: "If only we'd been dogs, what a great childhood we would have had."
Good thing I named my parents cat after myself
I decree that upon my death, my dog shall receive all bacon and cheese that is remaining in my refrigerator.
