`:�: not accept said pets, or, in the alternative, if they are both
,t, unwilling or unable to care for said pets, I direct that my
Executrix or Executor place any and all animals that I may own at
�
� the time of my death with a family in a private, non-
� institutionalized setting, where such animals will be cared for
�� in a manor that any responsible, devoted pet owner would afford
to his or her pets . As to the six (6) cats and one (1) dog that
my daughter, HEATHER J. BYRAM, and I have currently, I direct
that my Executrix or Executor place my animals with owners who
agree to keep the cats and dog indoors and, further, not to

suffering physically. In addition, I direct my Executrix or
Executor to provide any needed, reasonable veterinary care that
my animal (s) may need at that time to restore the animal (s) to
generally good health and to alleviate suffering, if possible.
Any animal (s) not in generally good health or who is suffering,
as well as those animals whose care is beyond the capabilities of
veterinarian medicine, reasonably employed, to restore to
generally good health or to alleviate suffering, shall be
euthanized, cremated, and the ashes disposed of at the discretion
of my Executrix or Executor. Any expenses incurred with respect
to the care, including the costs of veterinary care, placement,
� or transportation of my animals, or to otherwise effect the
� purposes of this Clause FIRST, up to the time of placement, shall
� be charged against the principal of my residuary estate. The
�X

,
or Executor have the broadest discretion within which to carry
