Have I finally found my friends? (Palmer has crossed over the Bridge)

What experiences has anyone had with pet insurance? Any recommendations as to what kind of coverage and company to use?
Thanks.
Susan

Susan, the new photo of Little Miss is wonderful! :)

And congratulations on getting rid of the rod!! :) :)

And I think Bailey is a great name -- that's the name of the daughter of some of our very best friends, so I'm especially partial to it!!!
:) :) :)

Last but not least, here's a link to an earlier thread in which people have offered their feedback regarding pet insurance plans:

Hi Susan,

How is the walking coming along? You must be so happy the rod is out:D:D I had missed a few posts, I think:confused:

What is the count down for Little Miss Bailey? Are you leaving next week?

Counting the days with you,

Love ya,
Addy

Wow Susan I just checked out Bailey she is cute as a button!! Congratulations - bet you can't wait to get her home.

Love and hugs,

Hi gals!

Well-the rod being gone......yes, I am delighted! I have pain in the big toe but it's from not moving for 10 weeks. It is getting better each day. :D Bob & I went for a walk on the boardwalk yesterday-just a short one-to start getting my feet reconditioned. That went well. :) Today we ran some errands and ate dinner out and my feet definitely want a rest. :eek: The left foot still has a fair amount of swelling and it may take awhile for that to go away. I CAN fit my foot in regular shoes....what a delight! :D:)

With regard to Bailey, I discovered I was off by a week in my planning. :mad::( I had it right on my calendar, but somehow we got focused on the week before. :confused::confused: (Wishful thinking?!) I have begun making some hotel reservations and that is going well. (Except for the one-the first stop, where I booked one night, thought later we would actually be there two nights, so I changed the reservation and then last night I realized...no...we can't stay two nights.....so now I need to change it back.) :o:o Luckily most of this can be done on the internet. The official departure date is 3/19. We will pick up Bailey on 3/25. :D:D:D:D We hope to be back home later on 3/27. But it's okay-it has taken me so long to work all this out, that I am now back to just 3 weeks until we leave and four weeks from tomorrow that we get to meet Bailey.:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D and bring her HOME. :):):)
I went out today and got one of those jingle bell ropes. I've heard a lot of good about them and I'm going to give it a shot. You teach the dog to paw at the bell when the dog wants to go out. Palmer pawed at the front door, so I think a bell should work as well. Also that way we'd be more likely to hear it if we weren't right there. One of Palmer's days in his last two weeks, he and I were up in the studio. He needed to go out as he had diarrhea. :eek: He was scratching to go downstairs (he didn't like the steps so he was carried) and I just thought he was bored up here:o, so I didn't do anything about it. :( Came to find out later that he was trying to get a message to me! :eek: That's the kind of think I hate to happen. :( Come to think of it, maybe I need to get a second bell rope for up here.

Addy-I like "Little Miss Bailey." Maybe I'll work on that as an alternate. That would be a better second than calling her "Pearl", as in Pearl Bailey.:rolleyes:

We're getting nearer at least. I've not been sleeping well at all and I'm wondering if it's because I'm so excited about Little Miss Bailey. I need to get some sleep now.......I'm going to need it in 4 weeks! :eek: I have her picture on my bathroom vanity so I say "Hi!" to her each morning, and tell her goodnight each night. It's also helping me get used to her name. If we change it I'm going to be in real trouble!!:eek::eek:

Take care-(((HUGS))), Susan

By the way-I've just realized if I take my laptop I'll be able to post some pictures in those first days. Anyone interested in that???

ME, ME, ME,

I want to see:D:D:D:D

Hugs,
Addy

I know someone who has had several foot surgeries and they also reported that the 'rods' came out painlessly.

Very happy to hear it was the same with you.
