if you have pets it’s a question you have probably asked yourself at one time or another, at least briefly. But all too often we don’t follow through with a plan. We assume a spouse or friend will handle it. Or perhaps we think it won’t happen to us or we think we have plenty of time to figure it out. We are not just talking about planning in case you pass away before your pets do. What happens if you are hospitalized in an emergency? What if you are unable to communicate? Is there someone you can rely on to take care of your pets? And will they know what to do?
