Legally in Australia it's possible to get buried with your pet. But, trying telling that to many funeral directors!

Hmm. But I wonder where most pets get buried these days?

no l expect them to die before me, they are in their senior years

No as I haven't really thought about it as I think my daughter would have our cat.

We adopted a senior dog & I hope we don't have that problem, he may go before us & that is a heartbreaking thought.Our children will look after him or us when the time comes

Went my beautiful and loyal little mate Butch passed, I swore I would never have another pet for this, a friend of mine left her money to the dog rescue service, on the provision they look after or rehome her dog, which they didEdited 15-Apr-21 21:07pm

It goes without saying in this household, Bob our beloved cat has promised to keep who ever remains on their toes at all times!

Yes we have - they will stay in this home with our son who shares with us. Hopefully that will not be for a long time yet.

Yep - they get everything!

Do not have any pets and live alone so this does not worry me. It is a worry though it would appear for those who have furry companions. I have a lot of god-cats and god-dogs so numerous friends do not have to worry if something happens to them.

Pet free household pets passed and haven’t replaced to hard and sad

Mmmm likely to outlive the dog, the cat, the 2 budgies and guniea pig....I am not sure if anyone would really want to take on the mini zoo.

we now only have 2 cats and if we go before they do we know they will be well looked after by our family.

am taking my dog's ashes with me when i go

No. I don't have a pet. But, the same question is the same with children. If you pass away, will you worry about the future of your children? Yes.

I don't have any pets.

No I haven't done anything. I'm 58 and the youngest pest is 2, but I don't plan on having pets once I'm at that age where life may change for me

No, my poor old Ragdoll is on her last legs and waiting for God. The vet has checked her and says she is not in pain but just fading so to wait a bit yet but it’s hard to see her like that. She’s 20 so not bad eh?

I have talked to my daughter and her family and they have said they would

I only have a rabbit and I am sure someone would look after it or I may outlive it

I have arranged for our dog to also be cremated when we both go... She is 10 now so will be an old dog.....,

i will be gone so what happens after will not concern me

my last dog died last year i have decided not to get any more its to hard

Yes my daughter will have our dog. He's 15 years old next month so I don't think he will be with us much longer. I'm not looking forward to that day. Would maybe just continue with helping with the rescue dogs so we don't have to worry.

I don't have a pet now

My brother would take our dog and look after him, our daughter loves animals but wouldn't be able to give him the time he needs, he is really good doesn't touch food that isn't for him, doesn't wander and is really gentle even though he is quite big, even moves for me when I say mother coming through!

No pets to worry about, but a timely reminder from Larry S about our digital footprint arrangements.

I don’t own a pet but my hubby does and my daughter would be the person he would expect to look after them

My son will look after my pets once i'm gone...

I don’t have pets but I heard a very important message in a radio discussion last week. We all need a valid legal will BUT we also need to address WHO/ WHAT controls our digital footprint when we go. That means who has access to your emails,Facebook or other social media sites. I have 5 emails that I use for various things ( like being here) and Facebook. So we all need to make a list of sites and passwords to make the task easier for the next person to handle. The discussion also said that social media sites can sit dormant with no use but can be open to hackers getting personal details for illegal activities.

No pet.

we have no pets so no worries.

hope i can leve some good to my son hope there is after and good

no more pets as we are both getting on

my daughter will take of my dog

It's important to know for myself

Not yet!??

No pets at the moment hoping to travel more in the future

I have the sweetest little friend and companion in my dog and everyone loves her. I have asked my son if I pass before she does to look after her as he loves dogs and her as well. I have also had this written into my will so there will be no arguments or missunderstandings.

We had cats & a dog but unfortunately our Pomeranian went out through a open gate somebody picked him up,gone,the 2 cats were getting old one losing his bodily functions had to be euthanised the other cat again disappeared when we did a sea change decided no more pets as we are too far from family & we have been travelling around the quite regularly except the current situation,but still love animals.

we have a senior dog aged 13 and he is our baby- we know one day he will go over the rainbow bridge-his health is not that good anymore but for us- quality of life will be main priority for him- no suffering. We do not have any family members or friends who we can leave our pet if anything ever happens to us. I am not prepared to take on another dog because of this. I do not think I can go through losing a pet again. Already dreading the day our baby will leave us

Put it into the will

My family will look after them

we got both our cats from the RSPCA and they will either go there or my daughter will take them

Grommie has said he wants to be repatriated to London, Hamleys shop in particular where we bought him from. I think that can be arranged without difficulty

There is no doubt that my granddaughter will take care of the budgie, she loves him

I never thought of that. Thank you. I will put something in place.

No. I do wonder though. If my husband goes first we have two cats that have nothing to do with me. I guess they would just have to get used to me.

i do not have any pets

If my husband and I were to go our cats would go with our daughter and our dogs would go to our sons. My daughter helped hand raise our cats so they have a special connection and my sons love spending time with our dogs.

Oh, no! But I think and hope that my dog will be with my friend as they love each other and my friend will take him if I’m gone. He was with him while I was in hospital. I must make it sure, thanks for the question!

Frankly I think I would have slightly more important things to arrange and think about.

My daughter will take my fur baby. My fur baby loves seeing her and although she may fret for me I hope with all my heart she will be ok.

I don't have dogs or any other pets.

I barely tolerant homo sapiens and pets (to me - based on personal observation) need more attention an care then homo sapiens. Other words, I don't have any type of pet and will not be adopting a pet in the twilight years (which is right now for me) of my LIFE !Edited 15-Apr-21 04:55am

no i haven't but it's a very good idea

I know of a dog that fretted so much she made herself really sick even though the daughter of the lady who took her in had seen her every day, also the daughter's dog. They played together at her Mum's place during the week. Despite the daughter's best intentions her Mum's dog refused to drink at all and developed kidney failure. In desperation she had even tried to get the dog to take water from a spoon.

Some might have to go to the pet homes, esp if one died, or tho go into nursing care. It happens!

This is not something that concerns all of us. Most dogs die before the owners. I don't have one and I wish their were less dogs in our suburbs. Not my concern.Edited 15-Apr-21 00:08am
