I’m looking forward to dying and seeing my Savior, and family.
Lately, I have been thinking about the practical implications of my own death. I look around my house and see all my trinkets, china, crystal dishes, bowls, etc. My poor son! What is he going to do with a house full of my stuff! He’s single and not interested.
Pets, I don’t dare get another dog, cat, parrot, or anything else that can and will outlive me. (I’m 73)
My death will be a celebration. I have no fear because I’m simply going home.

Perhaps you could find a family member or a friend that would take a pet that you have in the event of your death or whatever else precludes you from having a pet (i.e. alternate living accomodations). I'm in this same situation - worrying about what will happen to my dog and my family has agreed to take him. I doubt he would continue to be as spoiled as he is now but at least he'd have a decent home. I am 82 - and never thought I'd live this long. I have no fear of dying but do worry about him - probably unnecessarily. I don't travel any long distances anymore - he is a 'velcro' dog - and I don't know what would happen to him if I died enroute or had to be hospitalized without someone nearby to make sure he gets back home without me.

GOT A NEW PUPPY AND WERE 85.. Sure the pup may outlive us but in the meantime she provides real companionship and 24 hr entertainment. We're a life team my wife, puppy and me.. if we're gone --we're gone and my family will handle the puppy; she ( puppy ) wouldn't have it any other way.. Come on"Live a little and provide a puppy a good home!!"" You will never regret it!!!
