I have mini long-haired doxies and that is the breed for me after my
shepherds.
I have been reading about those who want a smaller dog, as they get older.
I am struck by the fact that so many infirm and disabled older folks find
themselves with a therapy or helper dog, that is most often a German
shepherd.
It makes no sense to reject a German shepherd just because you are older.
There is no breed more receptive to our needs, more anxious to help us,
more alert to dangers and problems, and no more faithful breed willing and
ready to serve their owners.
The only thing I know for certain is that as I age, if Tedi dies, I will
get another German sheperd. I may need to find one that can cook and clean,
but all that requires is some extra training. With all the titles after
his name, I would expect Harley could do it.
As to a Trust, I do them all the time. No one can look over a trust,
including the IRS. Most often you don't need to record it, and it can direct
who
will care for your dogs when you die. The theory of putting down your dogs
seems too self centered for me, unless you are a Pharoh, and then you
include the family members who are not smart enough to run. And they probably
should be put down.
No matter what we think, we are the center of our own universe, but when we
take The Big Dirt Nap, someone else can take over and do just as well, or
perhaps better.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
