With Jax I definitely need insurance for the middle aged puppy mom’s mental state 0- at least until he’s about 4 years old LOL

I need all of those, particularly squeaky liability.

Haha – here was me thinking I was opening a post about pet insurance, this made me giggle and cheered me up! Thank you.

I think I need to take out insurance for my ears, the loudness, and duration, of whining when Barney wants to play will surely send me deaf one day!
Insurance to cover to buy an extra sofa, because although we have a 3 seater sofa, it only appears to fit 2 – my husband and Barney (who is a Border Terrier, but somehow manages to take up the space of a Great Dane!).
Insurance to cover any possible intruders who may try to enter our home from Barney who will bark at first and then lick them to death!
BOL! love this post!

Ha – love these! I cannot think of any other insurance I would need. Just the coverage you described. Especially the stolen hamburger one…Blueberry has little shame in begging strangers for food. Last weekend they were having a chili cook off a half mile away from the area we were walking but the wind brought the smell to her nose and she kept trying to pull me in that direction. I guess she wanted to help judge the entries. 😉

I have insurance for Ducky, but it doesn’t cover any of those things. I need doggie psychotherapy insurance for poor Shadow for all the times she hides from Sam after he’s yelled at Ducky for barking too much. I’ve given up trying to convince him that his yelling only makes things worse. But he knows better … NOT.

I should probably take out disability insurance. One of these days, if I’m not fast enough on the dodge, I’m going to have a knee taken out by a rowdy game of bitey-face between our two 100-lb bruisers.

I would like a policy that paid out whenever my boyfriend enters the house to announce that one of he dogs “took a crap.” And it would be nice to get a bonus when he walks into a room where I’m watching my programs with dog wipes and a sad-faced Scout, because his anal glands expressed and he needs to be wiped back there.

Mom often says Bailie is going to kill her, so maybe we do need some of that insurance. I think some day Bailie will mature, but until then, we have to keep a close watch on our Mom. Bailie can drive her to the edge, but she also loves her to death. Scary stuff it sounds like.

They say my hair clogs up all sorts of household appliances! I think they exaggerate!

BOL 😉

We have dog insurance through PetsBest, and we have had to use them several times over the last 3 years. So much so, that the premium of over $2,000 we’ve paid so far has paid for itself a few times.

The largest ticket was Missy’s cancer treatment, with over $7,000 for the removal of her tumor and 4 chemotherapy treatments. PetsBest covered over $6,000, leaving us with about $1,500 out of pocket expenses. We would have had a MUCH harder time coming up with the $$$ for her treatment had we not had our insurance.

Due to the fact that there are many pet insurance companies out there, one definitely has to sit down and compare them all. That’s exactly what I did in 2011 for an entire weekend, while preparing for the pups’ arrival…you can read my post about it on my blog 😉
