That's wonderful that you live in a place you can be proud of. I wish I were so lucky. It's pretty Hellish in my neighborhood. The people that rented next door had a Pit Bull that they kept tied in the back yard night and day. The highlight of his day was when I would toss him milk bones, f

I'd brag too! Sounds heavenly. Can you recommend any sites for job and house searching? We feel very out of sync with our area - very little compassion for animal rights and only the privileged two leggers! [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm also VERY confident that Vermont will be the first s

I'm also VERY confident that Vermont will be the first state in the USA to ban Ear Cropping on dogs. This is a HUGE measure, because once we get Ear Crops banned, it's only a matter of time until we get DECLAWING on CATS banned! We're pounding away at our animal cruelty laws every session, tr

I was also thrilled to stumble across this tidbit: Maine passed legislation in March of this year allowing animals to be included in protection orders in domestic violence cases.  It seems that many men who abuse wives or girlfriends threaten or harm their animals to coerce or control the wo

I'm not a lawyer, but am a legal secretary who has done a bunch of trust and estate work, and even though I can't give legal advice I can at least provide a little info. Are you considering a trust? Where I work, it's rare for people to have a Will without a trust, but then, these are rich people

Hi Evan and Dee, That's a good question. I need to modify my "plans" too. I'm associated with a rescue group, and that makes me feel better about the care of my babies in the event of my death, because they'll make every effort to help. And, an additional option is to leave life insura

Believe it or not there are lawyers who deal with this type of situation. Expect to pay a bit more because it is not the standard form type will. If your lawyer doesn't "understand" find another one. Also make provisions for any one who challenges the will. That has happened. I have a will t
