But She’s Just A Dog!
Posted under How I See It by Mike
Just like many of you, our dog is a part of the family. She’s there when I need her with unconditional love and affection. Our pets come when their called, don’t complain when you neglect them, they stay out of your way when told to; they go sit in the corner and don’t ask a million questions.
Damn, if only I could get my kids would do that…
After a month of trying to deal with our dogs’ ear infection ourselves without much success, we decided to head to the veterinarian clinic. After a brief ear inspection, three shots, and some ear drops, we walked out with a $191 bill.
A few weeks ago my wife and I spent countless hours pouring over our health insurance options for us and our daughters. A frustrating process that I can guarantee caused me to lose more of my precious hairline. As the dog is a part of our family, why can’t I list her as a dependent on our health insurance?
I feed her (nothing but the best canned food for her)
I clothe her (ok, so they’re doggie sweaters)
I bath her (special oatmeal doggie soap)
I walk her (so that she gets the exercise she needs to keep that girlish figure)
I pickup her doggie poo (because who else will?)
I groom her (you never know when the Westminster Dog Show will come calling)
I provide a roof (woof?) over her head
I’m not sure the girls get this much attention…
you aren’t thinking of taking her behind the shed and shooting her, are you? I HOPE NOT.

It KILLS me when we have to take ours to the vet for something I am pretty sure is not a big deal but not 100% sure. When my dog was bit (in her mouth) by a bee her face swelled up. $200 later I had a coat pocket full of benadryl, the exact same benadryl I carry in my purse every single day for me and my freaky food allergies. The vet, on the other hand, got her car detailed.

you know you can get insurance for the doggie? I did on my cats after I had to spend close to 1500$ on my cat, and they put him to sleep anyway…

She beautiful! and cute! Even if you do dress her like a dork. High collars are so 1985.

You’ve just helped me consider replacing my teenagers with a couple of Labradors. Much cheaper to keep, and the dogs would at least try to do the dishes once in awhile.

Progressive insurance has an add saying that they covered pets if you had a plan with them. Ask Flo.
I blogged about that a while ago… hmmmm where is it.
They should be deductable. A security system – home implrovement.
You knew the kids wouldn’t pick up the poop when you got the dog. LOL
“I’ll take of it, really”.. LOL

You need a visit by the “Kid Whisperer”.

I’m pretty certain my cat has received better care than I have. And quite frankly, despite his very high vet bills, I think I’ve still payed less out-of-pocket for his care, than I have on insurance costs and out-of-pocket for myself.
I think we should all start going to vets for our care.
