What happens if something happens to you?

As a dog trainer we sometimes get asked if we will take a client's dog if something happens to them. We try very hard to make sure there is not a family member or friend that would be willing to open their hearts. [ we are very particular with who we leave our babies with, right? ] Very rarely, there is not someone and thankfully, in over 15 years we have only had two clients "will" us their fur baby. And yes... we kept both if you are wondering :) The last one we took into our pack wasnt so much a "will" situation, but more of a health issue that would not allow a medium sized shep w/the energy of a bulldozer. The new year is a time to get things organized for the rest of the year--and that should maybe included getting your legal docs in order. Do you have things in place for your furry kiddos in case something happens to you? Not just if you, erm...get your wings, but what if you are not able to take care of your kiddos for a time? For ourselves, we not only have 6 people listed in our will for our babies, but 3 German Shep rescues in the event the hoomans are not able.. As an I.T. gal in my past, I always say: Have a plan B, C and D. WE of course have no plans to stop training. No plans on detrimental health. No plans to stop loving our kiddos. But life is a b!ch sometimes so as hard as it is, we thought about it and took action. Not fun. Kind of hard at this age. We had a fantastic lawyer with a sense of humor so it was relativlely painless Do you have something in place for your kiddos --just in case?
