As you said Rob not a pleasant subject! But I couldn't help adding something I experienced yesterday..... I sadly attended a funeral for a 41 year young woman, she had three Newfoundlands the very love of her life photos of her beloved dogs were printed on her mass and a most magnificent canvas print of her and her dogs at her coffin. I didn't know her well only that she had the one and only pup our daughters girl had given birth to and there was a doggy bond I guess you could say with us and…
As you said Rob not a pleasant subject! But I couldn't help adding something I experienced yesterday..... I sadly attended a funeral for a 41 year young woman, she had three Newfoundlands the very love of her life photos of her beloved dogs were printed on her mass and a most magnificent canvas print of her and her dogs at her coffin. I didn't know her well only that she had the one and only pup our daughters girl had given birth to and there was a doggy bond I guess you could say with us and her. The saddest part was that her family couldn't express the real love this young woman had for her beloved dogs left behind. The young boy has gone to a loving home and the two girls went back to the breeder who has had them for 18 months they are 11 and 13.<br />
It's certainly made me think as she was so young to make very sure that my family express my devotion, it was so hard sitting there knowing how much this lady just wanted to be with her dogs at the end :0( I hope nobody minds me telling this story, felt I need to share it with like minded friends :0)) Thankyou all very much for yo…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-02-24:865021:Comment:10805052013-02-24T22:13:44.827Zkaren chesherhttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/karenchesher

<p>Christine,my very best wishes with your up coming operation,i hope my story has not upset and worried you -this is a rare situation that happened with my dad.I very much agree with the way Mary and Angela have already put measures in place.Well done Ladies after all our dogs are just like another family member. </p> Very simular to mine Mary, on…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-02-22:865021:Comment:10795342013-02-22T16:02:19.102ZAngela Clarkehttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/AngelaClarke
<p>Very simular to mine Mary, only I have it as any pet I own at the time.... saves updating as and when you have a new pet. My pets come with a trust fund £X each year until they are 15 and any money left at their passing if before 15 goes to The Dog Trust. ( Done this when I was 55.)</p>

<p>I have thought about this topic and called my attorney as well my brother who is a dog lover if he would take my pets I or when something happens to me, my attorney added my Bailey to my will and when I get another one he/she will be as well. Also the breeders I have talked with have micro-chipped the puppies with their information so if I cannot respond or am not around the breeder will take the dog back at any age.

<p>What an intresting topic, thanks for posting it and thanks for sharing your very emotional story Karen, I also have had to think about this very thing recently.....my husband and i are going into hospital in April together....we have three beautiful irish boys aged nealy 7yrs, 4yrs and 7 months....the reason we are both going to be in hospital is that my husband is donating one of his kidneys to me. Now...everything should be straightforward and we will be fine but any operation carries a risk and it does make one think a bit!!! none of our family would be able to take on all the boys and much as i would hate to split them up I have told my daughter to firstly get hold of the breeders. Two have one breeder, who I know would either take Merlin and George back or see that they were well taken care of, the other breeder I am not in such close contact with but feel she would really care about what happened to Harry. Good Health and long life is not guarenteed sadly as I found out just before xmas when a friend died suddenly in her sleep aged 37yrs, amd yes she had a puppy........</p> What a wonderful life's journ…tag:irishsetters.ning.com,2013-02-21:865021:Comment:10790812013-02-21T13:04:00.813ZRhonda Fisherhttps://irishsetters.ning.com/profile/RhondaFisher

<p>Life, Death and Taxes, one can be sure of all three, one cannot however avoid the middle one, inevitable in all creatures, except of course the cartoons.</p>
<p>Not crossed my mind before Rob, however, certainly given me some food for thought, should I be thinking about making arrangements at 43? Ben & Ruby are 6 & 9.</p>
<p>Karen, I enjoyed reading your story with a happy fairytale ending. :) </p>
