Our vet (bless his soul) has offered to take on all of our animals if
my wife and I both die.  We will be having our wills altered to provide 
him with $1,000 from our estate per animal that he takes on and keeps or
finds a home for.  Fortunately he lives on 200 acres, so several dozen
cats and dogs can be accommodated okay....
