<p>To true after having a second fall on our rural property last Sunday and hitting my head quite badly it has made me rethink the situation with my 2 dogs Oscar & Sam!. I have provision in my will that they are taken care of. Paul will look after them I know without a doubt Oscar is nearly 11 and Sam is 6 so I hope I out live them both but with having a medical condition for the last 20 years there are no guarantee's. Oscar & Sam are spoiled rotten and I don't know how they would cope…</p>

Oscar & Sam are spoiled rotten and I don't know how they would cope without their 2 dad's they say animals adapt but in their case I'm not to sure about this?. My Solicitor's have been instructed that my dogs are to go to a person I have nominated and they have agreed to take them as the person is a retired vet and the boys adore her. Paul and I had an argument the other day about this when Oscar leaves this world I'm not to get another dog but I made it quite clear I will always have animals in my life and that's how it is!. Maybe I'm not being realistic but I have to have animals in my life they keep me grounded!. We have a possum we have called Harry in the possum house in the jacaranda tree he sticks his little snout out late afternoon I put apple out for his I just make sure Sam is not around!. </p> My God!

<p>My God! That makes me feel so much better. My budget is so tight I was having second thoughts about whether I planned well enough for adopting a dog. Fortunately, people always ask me if they can spend some time with Sully because she is so easy to care for. She will get good recommendations at least.

<p>My God! That makes me feel so much better. My budget is so tight I was having second thoughts about whether I planned well enough for adopting a dog. Fortunately, people always ask me if they can spend some time with Sully because she is so easy to care for. She will get good recommendations at least. Unfortunately, not everyone realizes that having a good dog is usually dependent on how much time and attention the dog gets with caring people and how much research is done by the owners to learn about dogs, and Corgis in particular. I had my first really trying day with her today. She was actually caught doing something seriously wrong twice. I have been so spoiled. I was actually really annoyed, though I didn't share it with her given her submissive and fearful temperament. None-the-less, I can see how quickly she could pick up some negative behaviors and become a handful if her behavior was accepted good or bad. I know she would do well with anyone who is aware of doggy behaviors and needs. Especially if it were a temporary arrangement. Thanks for the advice!</p>

<p>I do have signs on my outside doors reminding emergency people to rescue the two dogs. The dogs have multiple phone numbers on slide on tags on their collars for emergencies and are microchipped. Since we travel to and from GA for the winter, I wanted more than just our cell numbers on their collars so our son's is there. He would call his sister if she were closer to get them if necessary since she lives in GA. I also have tags on their harnesses they wear in the car as a back up.</p> I think of how often this hap…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-09-29:1150197:Comment:18045152013-09-29T01:42:50.989ZJane Christensenhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/JaneChristensen

<p>My husband and I are currently administering an estate..for 4 years now but I won't go into the mess that it is. There was a dog and a cat and at first our friend's son and DIL didn't want to take either and we were quite beside ourselves because they were housed in PA and we live in NY. Thankfully they changed their minds when their daughter got so upset that grandpa's animals weren't going to stay with her. He had made no provision for the animals and there was just no way we could take them...with 2 dogs and 3 cats of our own.</p> The Humane Society and ASPCA…tag:mycorgi.com,2013-09-27:1150197:Comment:18046862013-09-27T21:36:37.460ZNicole Edwardshttp://mycorgi.com/profile/NicoleEdwards
<p>The Humane Society and ASPCA can help as well. I had a friend who suddenly lost her job and had to move out of state to get another, but could not find a place to stay right away that would allow her 2 cats to stay with her. She tearfully took them to the Humane Society thinking she would have to give them up, when they heard her situation they agreed to house the cats for the time period that took her to find another place to stay.

<p>Wow, good question! I have had nightmares about being terminally ill and writing the 'good home wanted" ad. I hope it does not happen, but I need to be planning, too.

<p>As part of an estate planning package, many attorneys prepare a power of attorney for pet care. This specifies who can take care of the pet(s) in an emergency. Trusts are also useful to set up a long term care situation.</p>
<p>Anyone (and everyone should have) an instruction book for a person who has to take care of you and your property in an emergency. It can include everything from where the refrigerator warranty is to what to feed the pet(s) and when. A simple notebook will do.</p>
