			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not that losing their master was so lucky, but considering that Buckshot, Katie and Obu-Jet were rescued and adopted, they have come out top dog!  Ken Kemper, owner of the three canines, passed away last year after a battle with cancer, he left $800,000 and his home, to his faithful and loyal companions.  <img src='http://www.pawpadsandwhiskers.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/money_701183.jpg' alt='Money from an inheritance' / border="0" align="left" vspace="5" hspace="5"></p>
<p>Not only are they set for life, they enjoy a &#8220;Lady and the Tramp,&#8221; spaghetti dinner every week as well.  Caretaker Roy Grady said, &#8220;They love it.  They know when it&#8217;s coming on Friday, too. They have that time clock.&#8221;</p>
<p>I thought my pets had it all.  But in all seriousness, whether or not we are worth that kind of money, it is important to think about our pets when we plan our estates.  What happens to our beloved companions when we pass away?  Hopefully friends and family will adopt the suddenly homeless pets and help ease their grief (believe me, they grieve &#8211; more on that another time) but it is something to think about, even if you don&#8217;t have $800,000.  </p>
