We *heart* our pets.

We have two cats - Murphy and Peanut and a Miniature Pinscher - Bailey. We love our animals and I can't imagine them not being in our lives.

A couple of years ago Murphy was hiding under my car and a few miles from our house she tried to jump free. Well, I ended up feeling a bump, looked in my rear view mirror and turned around. Murphy was lying in the middle of a busy road and looked dead.

I picked her up and put her in my car. She was in a complete state of shock and she had actually bitten through her tongue with her teeth. Her leg looked broken and the whole drive to the Cornell Vet Hospital - she didn't move.

After $1,200 at the Cornell Vet Hospital -- we wish we had purchased pet insurance. At one point they wanted to do skin grafting at the tune of $5,000 but we just couldn't afford it.

Thank God, Murphy got better with time and a very caring Vet who saw her every few days.

But it's just sad to know that when our animals get hurt or ill that you might have to choose between going into debt and saving their lives. That's why we are seriously thinking about pet insurance these days through Stoneway Insurance. They offer affordable premiums and pretty good coverage.
