I've got my best friend to do that. Are your babies chipped? It may be possible to add it to that something? Who handles you're estate when you pass?

I have a will and an executor who I know would take care of them once notified but I'm thinking of those first days after police find our bodies and send someone to check the address on the DL. If they find two hungry dogs in the house, I'd like to have a full set of instructions tied to their chips.

I'm definitely going to research this ASAP.

Good thinking. Your local animal shelter will hopefully know they must deal with this a lot

Maybe add a note to your refrigerator and a card to your wallet, saying "hi, I have these pets. If I'm unable to take care of them please tell So-and-So at phone#. Their vet is blah."
