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.

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.

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.

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?

  My dogs are like children. I could not bear to think they might might be unwanted and euthanized after I am gone. They have given us so much love and loyalty, including giving my husband a reason to live after his stroke and ensuing depression. That is why I have made sure Boris and Sheba will be well cared for and loved.

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.

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!

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.

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 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

  I feel for you. Our dog was like our baby too. We lost her a few years ago due to health issues. The vet said it was best to get her put to sleep so she didn't suffer and it was heart breaking for us. We would have loved to get another one but we decided that day we couldn't go through that again plus we are getting older and we're worried that we might not be around long enough.

  It was very hard. In the end we had to do what was best for her. I still think about her sometimes and occasionally I get the bug to get another dog but at our age it's difficult. In 10 years we may be in a retirement home and can't take our dog with us which would also be heart breaking.

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.

If you leave something to the RSPCA in your will, If you pass away and have pets they will take them and look after them until they can find a new home for them to go to. Great idea to take the worry away if you have nowhere else for them to go. You just need to contact the RSPCA to set this up. Peace of mind for a small donation after you are gone.

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!

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

  My dog is not a lap dog but a companion. I prefer her to most humans. I lost my last dog to a snake and thought I would never get another. That was 12 years ago. I lasted about 8 months and then went searching for another one and this little girl won my heart at first sight. If she goes before me though I will not be getting another animal. I think you are or are not a person who likes animals

  I got ATTACKED by a dog when I was young - I had to take a series of rabies shots (twenty-six shots in the stomach). If my parents did not have the money for the rabies shots - I would have die! I DEFINITELY do not like pets (any type of pet).Edited 15-Apr-21 10:09am

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.
