They weren't abused or anything... its not that bad. But, still a little heartbreaking if you ask me. A 48 year old woman passed away leaving behind her 2 dogs (one is a husky mix) in Elkhart, IN (close to me, that's how I stumbled upon the article). There's no way in our little house we could take in another dog, let alone 2, but I thought I would get the word out. I have no idea if any one lives in the area or knows of anyone in the area, but Elkhart isn't too far from Michigan and I know several people are from MI on this board. Anyways, I had to share! Here's the article:

Awwww, that is very sad. I worry about that a lot (because I'm weird like that), like what would happen to my poor babies if I passed away suddenly. I don't trust anyone with them now, let alone worry about who they would live with. Its sad because it not like anyone could ever explain to them that I died, and didn't just abandoned them. I guess that's my morbid input for the day.

It is very nice though that her friends didn't just leave them at a shelter and are trying to find them a nice home. Hopefully it happens soon so they don't have to continued being boarded. Both dogs are beautiful and look very well taken care of!

Is it funny occassionally I think of setting up a trust fund for the caretakers of my pets and if somone does not care for them, they don't get my money? I have thought about this a few times, but never looked into it much.

One of the breeders I was considering before I found Dizzy's breeder actually required a purchaser of a puppy to have a plan in writing about what/who would care for the dog if something suddenly happened. I think its a good idea, it made me think about it in a way I hadn't thought about it before.

I love the picture of maggie all the way at the bottom lol. Sad story i hope they find a home together
