Louise, my dear friend, had a little Yorkshire
terrier named Cocoa that she loved dearly. We used to joke that
if she kept spoiling her she was going to need a bigger house
just to hold all her toys. Louise and Cocoa were inseparable,
but after a while, Louise started to feel sluggish and her energy
dropped severely. After numerous appointments with doctors, it
turned out that Louise had an aggressive form of breast cancer
and the outcome didnt look good. After several treatments
with no improvement, Louise pulled me aside and asked if Id
be willing to take care of Cocoa if things didnt turn around.
It was a heartbreaking conversation, but I of course agreed. The
next day, Louise set up a Pet Trust in a matter of hours, which
named me caretaker of Cocoa. She also set aside a sum of money
to ensure I was able to provide the best care for Cocoa . It wasnt
long after that Louise passed away. It was an extremely difficult
period and it made me realize the unpredictability of life. I
have since set up a Pet Trust myself, to ensure that if something
should happen to me, Cocoa and my dog Holly will have a good home
and the care they need.
