Pet insurance was front and centre during my last visit to the
vet.

lobby, carrying her bleeding and crushed dog in her arms. He had
been hit by a car and was near death.
The dog was dying and she didn't have pet insurance.
The woman was hysterical. The retriever had been in their family
for 10 years and she was frantic about what would she tell the
kids if she didn't bring their best friend home.
The vets came running out and assessed the dog quickly on the
spot. He needed emergency surgery, blood transfusions, x-rays
and fluids. What did she want to do, they asked her.

you craved and had no knowledge of what your body needs to
function, would you be eating 5 servings of fruit and veggies or
would you head straight for the Ding Dong case at the market?

Pekingese from China had been taken to the other country from
time to time. The cross in Tibet that was taken out of that
