I was just thinking how difficult it is to get an accurate picture of a specific color with my camera. I'm going to take a few items outside to try to get a better representation of their actual colors, because the indoor pictures are all over the place. @Patsy Faye It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's very forgetful. I tend to blame it on the Fibro Fog.
My random thought is a random question I guess, but still random. I wonder can you put a dog on your life insurance policy?
People have left their fortunes to their beloved pets in their wills, but from what i have read, it usually does not turn out well. Someone has to be a caretaker for both the pet and the money; so the pet ends up not being properly taken care of, and the caretaker enjoys the benefits. I don't know that you can make a pet the beneficiary of an insurance policy, and if you can, it would be the same as if you make a child the beneficiary. An adult would have to administer the account. If the administrator is doing their job, then the money would be used as it was intended; but most of the stories that you read about where someone left a lot of money to their pet, or an underage person, things did not work out well .
I imagine the caretaker gets pretty jealous of the pet in question. That could lead to some bad blood. I think I will stick to leaving whatever I have left at the end of my life to two legged animals, whether or not they deserve it...That is a question for another day.!
My dog Izzy has had three cateract surgeries, and he takes meds for allergies, so he need regular veterinary care. I have someone that loves him, and want to care for him if I pass, but I don't want to cause them any financial stress. I wanted a portion to be set aside for his medical needs.

@Ina I. Wonder I hope you do - have you a pet, great company Any hobbies ? It would be hard for me - music would be my company
Hi @Patsy Faye , Yes I have my 4 year old yorkie/chihuahua, and he makes each day special. As far as hobbies goes I have done everything from sewing, embroidery, horticulture, pottery, pan pastel portraits, and many more different types of art. Now I am working on becoming a good weaver. I am using a 48" ridged heddle loom. The problem is that I tend to be a quite singular, and I isolate myself at home to much. For the last year and a half, I've been trying to socialize with others and get involved with the world around me, but it just seems to give me anxiety. I am just having a bit of a hard time figuring out what life holds for me now that my husband and sons have passed. So I'm just going to be quiet inside and see what comes from it.
@Ina I. Wonder I'm sad reading your post, I'm the same - tend to isolate since my health problems I wonder though if you would like an art class - like minded people ............. There are avenues out there when the time is right and you feel the urge to make that move Your dog is just the ticket right now xx
@Ina I. Wonder I hope you do adjust to being alone. Your grandson visits now and then, doesn't he? I think being quiet inside might be a good thing, stillness leaves a vacuum for ideas and inspiration. How is your weaving coming along, by the way, and how did you fare with the recent rains? I hope better than last time. Perhaps you could set it up so a portion of the insurance could go into a trust and funneled to the veterinary office as needed for care? It sounds like a good idea to me. @Patsy Faye I also isolate a lot more since my health and financial issues have arisen. It's not always healthy, but it's easier than answering a bunch of questions that can be exhausting and invasive.
@Diane Lane - that's the problem for me too, so many questions and 'why don't you' ........... I feel like wearing a sandwich board sometimes that lists me ailments and 'why' I can't do certain things
