To My Lucky Dog Family,

This has been a hard newsletter for me to write. I knew what I wanted to talk about, but I really have struggled to find the words. You see, this month is National Make a Will Month. It's a great reminder for all of us that we are human. And we need to make plans for what might happen if we were to leave this earth.

But, who wants to talk about, let alone think about, that? Certainly not me.

As pet owners, it is our responsibility to ensure we make plans for what will happen to our four-legged family if we are gone. Just as we would do for our two-legged family. I can't tell you how many pets I see in high-kill shelters whose reason for surrender is "owner passed away." No one wants that for their Lucky Dog or Cat.

Having a plan, whether it is a will or a revocable living trust, is essential to making sure your family is cared for after you are gone. Lucky Dog has partnered with Freewill.com to make this process as easy and painless as possible. In fact, it can take less than 20 minutes to complete your will.

With all that has been going on in the past 18 months -- all the uncertainty we are facing, one thing remains pretty clear: we cannot predict the future. I, myself, have lost family and seen friends suffer. The very best thing we can do for those we love is to prepare for the unthinkable. To ease their burden as they take care of what we leave behind.

Lucky Dog and Freewill.com are here to help.

And, if you can find it in your heart to leave a legacy of love with Lucky Dog, our dogs and cats would be forever grateful.

With gratitude,

Mirah Horowitz
