Not according to my lawyer. I don't know the precise
definition of a codicil and haven't talked to him about it,
but I know he definitely is against codicils and used the
term "protocols" for anything I wanted to write about the
specifc asset disposition approach that I wanted followed,
and pets were included under that category.

I suspect your lawyer isn't being honest with you. My guess
is that your lawyer thinks what you propose would not be
legally enforceable, so wants you to do something that will
satisfy you, but won't have people laughing at him for doing
something he might consider silly.

Some states allow leaving property for pets, others don't.
