Let’s face it: our pets are our babies and our family members.
Should anything happen to us and we could not provide for our pets’ wellbeing, we need to be sure that they’ll be properly looked after. Sadly, and all too often, pets are needlessly surrendered to shelters and an uncertain future if plans are not made ahead of time.
Including our pets in our legacy strategies can ensure that their proper ongoing care is not left to chance.

The Line That Didn’t Land
I stood in the back of Good Shepherd Chapel on the evening of April 15, 2026, at the Steam Plant Demolition Town Hall, watching people adjust scarves and jackets before the meeting began. Benjamin Jones, President and CEO of RIOC, thanked us for attending and, without a pause, said he was “pleased to host tonight’s town hall on the city’s demolition of its steam plant.” The demolition, in other words, was not up for discussion.
