Today’s Cartoon
Edward Gorey, an extraordinary artist and author, had a loving, ongoing relationship with cats. In1986, when he lost his rent-controlled apartment in Murray Hill, he moved into a big, old, falling-down house in Yarmouth Port that he’d bought with his “Dracula” earnings. There he was able to enlarge his collections of things — cats, rocks, beanbags, books. In 2000 at age 75 he succumbed to a heart attack. His will included many bequests to cat and other animal-welfare organizations.
Dog Surrendered with Heartbreaking Note Before Guardian’s Suicide Now Has New Loving Home
Shell’s guardian, who had cancer for the second time, died by suicide shortly after leaving her dog at the Stray Rescue shelter. She had adopted Shell several years before from the same shelter. From many potential adopters, Stray Rescue again found Shell a forever home.
May this bittersweet situation be the catalyst for you to name a guardian for your animal companions in your will. Don’t gamble with their welfare.
