How much money do you think is reasonable to leave in the will for the care of each pet?
Did you work out an amount or just pick it off the top of your head? I have been thinking about this for a while and I want to put an amount in a will that would be fair. Should the amount be based on the age of the dogs at the time of my death? I just don't know where to start.
I noticed another woman said that her niece would reimburse the cost of medical treatments to the person that took her dogs, but I don't want my family to have to deal with this responsiblity for the number of years that this could go on. I would rather a lump sum go to the person who keeps my dogs. I just have no idea what would be a reasonable sum of money.
Thanks for any assistance you can give me in this.

We have friends in Highlands Ranch and I used to stay in H.R. when I was looking for homes in Colorado. It's quite a big place now, was smaller then, almost 20 yrs ago, where does the time go ?!?

Thank you, Bev. I am watching her close, but she is so active. The hardest time is when I take her outside, she wants to run and play so bad. I am keeping her on a short leash, and when I take her outside to relieve herself I bring her back in as soon as I think she has finished. She is not happy about it! lol Be glad when this healing is done.....
Bev.... So sorry for loss. Sparky IS running in the flowered covered field with Buffy and Scooter ( my fur-baby I had to send to the bridge last October)
R I P Sparky ~ Buffy ~ and Scooter too...Sending you Corgi Kisses from Pippin and Gambler and hugs from me...
awww, well glad to hear Sparty is still acting like himself. Poor guy with the back leg not doing well now. :( Glad he is tolerating the stroller rides though. Hugs to Sparty!!
Bev, Did you see that glowing review of the RV park here in NC (near Ashville) that caters to dogs and their families. Someone wrote about it earlier this week. We had heard about it, but have never been. The park owners have corgis. This is just a thought....what do you think?
Plan a MyCorgi retreat at this RV park. They have cottages and trailers to rent as well as many full hooks up spaces. It would have to be planned a year out. Do you think enough people would be interested? Even if only 20-25 families came it would be so much fun.
Hey Bev, I don't know how I missed the photo of Misty curled up in a Corgi-sized bed. How hilarious! btw, we kept the leopard print bed of Dylan, who died at 14, in the den bec. it would look weird to not have it in the room. Lucy never went near it for 4 yrs. She is way smaller than Dylan, & I assumed it was too big for her. Then, enter R/R. As soon as he was big enough, it became his "spot." Then when we allowed R/R to share our bed w/ Lucy, she, totally out of the blue started sleeping on the leopard skin bed, and all of r/r's BIG beds. Corgis are so funny!
Thank you, it is hard and I did ppost on corgis remembered... Have got a olt of love from friends, everyone loved Mater he was a character. Not sure when we will get another Corgi, my daughter is pretty against gettign another dog all together. poor girl. On top of it he passed on my moms birthday. :(
Glad to see Sparty has some of His toes wiggling without bandages :).We have Our laptop back and will be taking it out camping with Us tomorrow,so I'll be sure and check on any news You may get about Sparty.Hope all goes better from this point.We all care so much for Our furbabies and wish You the best possible news.

I read what you said in the discussion who looks after our animals when we are gone?

Why thanks, Bev. We celebrated a weekend early with 2 perfect days largely above timberline, just me and Gwynnie. She's pushing 9 1/2, and still spry.
Al says I don't look a day over 60... but that I should consider getting an RV.

I am very sorry about Sparty. He is probably happily darting though open fields with Buffy now... RIP Sparty <3

Happy Birthday Bev, enjoy your day!!!

A little - my familly is from the Czech Republic. I am 3rd generation here. I know a little Czech.

If I ever get a real computer, I'm going to borrow photos from my *real* climber friends, and PhotoShop Al onto *real* mountains.
I even know a guy who climbed K2. I'm sure nobody would be surprised to see Al high on the Abruzzi Ridge without supplemental oxygen.
Stay tuned.
