Isn't it the Dog days of Summer?

 

Whose taking care of the pooch? And, is Purina the official Doggy Biscuit of the Helmsley dog?

Some people just have too much money!!!:fire: :fire: :fire:

Well who gets the dog after all of this, and I wonder if something happens to the dog will the grandkids get the money. I sure hope the dog makes out a will!!

Her brother, Alvin Rosenthal, also received $10 mm and will be the trustee for the dog's money. I would imagine that the brother gets anything left over.

 

I can't believe that the grandkids aren't fighting this. Giving money to an animal is usually a weak spot in a will.

All the first sentence had to say, was Leona....I knew the rest, would be crazy.

If I were left in charge, there would be something in the neighborhood of 11 million, 999 thousand dollars left over after caring for the dog.

It's only two of her grandkids and they still have intersts in the family business. I read somewhere that she said they know why they were left off. At the end of the will it said something along the lines of, anyone who tries to fight this shall be considered deceased before me and they are no longer part of the will and some of the other family money. Two of the grandkids that were left money have to visit their father's grave area at least once per calender year or they can't have their trust fund. Weird.

 

Here's the article:

While this reflects negatively upon her, I don't feel anymore sorry for the grandkids not getting the money than I do myself.

She was sick, she loved her dog, she left billions to charity. I have no problem with it.

Is this Hunter's Mom?

:laugh: Crazy? I would say Complete Nonsense!

You have to visit your father's grave once a year or you don't get $5 Mil?!!

I want my mausoleum steam cleaned at least once a year.

 

My God, she could have left us a bit of the cash.

:thumb: Make that 11,999,999. A bullet shouldn't cost more than a dollar should it?

That's so wrong. But for $12 Mil, I'd off a dog.
