Has it ever crossed your mind to include your dog in your will? If not, it would not be surprising. After all, most of the time, our beloved pets die before we do. Even though we wish they could live forever, their lives are usually way too short.
Most of the time we worry about "how will we live without them," given the joy and happiness they bring to our lives. But here's another question, if we were to suddenly pass away: How will they survive without us?
This is where your will comes in. Should something happen to you, you can at least make sure that he will be taken care of. The best was to go about this is to first contemplate your options in terms of potential care takers.
You need to consider not only someone you trust, that would give your beloved canine the best care, but other factors as well.
How about their living arrangements? Do they live in rentals where pets are not allowed? Or do they maybe have other pets already - pets your dog might not get along with?
No matter how much a friend or family member might want to honor your last requests, you cannot expect them to change their housing or upset their pets by bringing your dog into their lives.
The way to get around this is to talk to people way before a tragedy arises. Ask them whether they would be willing to honor your wish. And talk to them at length about what this would mean.
Explain that you are including your dog in your will and that you would like him or her to care for your best friend if the unexpected should happen. Be sure to allow this person the opportunity to decline your request.
The worst thing that can happen is that you talk someone into saying yes vaguely, but not really being in it with all their heart. After all, f something does happen to you then, your dog will not be in a good situation. So make sure you avoid any such thing.
