I've been thinking about this the last few months. I never worried about it with Murph and Maddie so much, but now that I'm older and I've got 2 young dogs, the probability goes up that they could outlive me.

I wanted Idgie's mom to take Oz if anything happened to me, but Idgie doesn't like any other dogs, so she really thought it wouldn't work. Last couple of vacations though, her mind's been changed, because Oz got the Idgie seal of approval. Oz loves both of them too. So I thought that decision was made. Then recently, I was talking to my Mom about taking Murph if anything happened, which she agreed to, but she was unbelievably upset to find out Oz was going somewhere else. Now, my Mom is not really a dog person, but Murph is so well behaved and does more sleeping than anything else now, that they'd be perfect for each other. She's taken care of him and loves him too. She also loves Oz and Oz thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread, but Oz is young and active and I know he'd be happier with my friend and Idgie.

I never realized how upset my Mom would be over this though, so I think I'm going to have to make up a will. My friend's afraid she's gonna have a custody battle over Oz. Wouldn't that make a great movie of the week.

I'm not sure about Gull yet. I'd love for him to go with Oz, but Idgie might not get along with him. He's a lot more bold then Oz. Eventually we'll have them meet up and if they don't get along, I've got another friend, who I know could give Gull a great home.
