A friend gets any dogs and cats that we have at the time of our death.
A lump sum of cash comes with each pet to take care of all their needs. We opted not to go the "pet trust" route as that would have been too burdensome. If you trust them with your pets then you trust them to handle the funds appropriately.
O CJ that's cute! If I thought I was actually dying I'd send you the pedigrees of the cows and you could take your pick -- seems like maybe 2 cows would be a fair trade for taking care of the little monster.
It relieves my mind just to hear someone would take him. Actually my son said he'd take him too, though I'm not sure if that would actually come to pass.
I have a friend who is listed as a trustee for my dogs as well as a backup in case the first person is unable to perform that actions of the trustee or needs assistance. I have it outlined where each of my dogs go and the money distribution.
In one case if for some reason the person who has agreed to take one specific dog is unable to do so, the dog is to be euthanized. Given that this dog is 15 and I am not planning on dying anytime soon, I doubt that I will precede her. The others are going to friends and/or their breeders.
Another thing that people do not consider is dog gear and memorabilia. Many of us have non-dog people family members who might not realize that items like an original copy of Stephanitz's The German Shepherd in Word and Picture should not be donated to Goodwill As such, I have outlined what I would like to see happen with my training equipment and breed memorabilia. Most is just going to friends and other is to be donated to organizations to sell or keep.

My pets are arranged for. My cat will go to a friend and my dog will either stay with my husband or, in the event that we're both dead at the same time, she will go back to the guy I adopted her from.

Hee hee, other than an Arab, I've never owned a pedigreed anything, well not the paperwork anyway. Wouldn't have a clue what I'm looking at. The selection process might be best left up to you.
And unlike my experience with "special needs" dogs, I have none with cows. A couple of nice, stable, older ones, that Pinker likes, would probably get us all off to a good start.
It's good to hear that your son would step up to the plate if needed. Our son has a young family and our dogs would not fit into that picture, even if he was willing. Not something I would want for him or the dogs and he knows.
Just make sure your son is aware there's a BC girl that can arrange a Pinker portage, with a two cow trailer, if necessary.
Me thinks you're going to be around for a long time yet though and that thought puts an even bigger smile on face.
