\"\ud83d\udc3e\"\"\ud83d\udc3e\"This would be a good time to remind everyone about having a plan in place for your pets should you no longer be able to care for them \u2013 short term, long term, or for the rest of their lives. It is not just enough to leave a note behind, or placing them in your will. Talk with an attorney about your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
