Terry, I must say that no home insurance representative has even bothered
to ask us how many pets we have, let alone set a limit. But that may just
be us. We use Geico now, used Nationwide before. We've always had between
five and six pets total.
And, this is slightly off-topic, but there were two posts in a row
mentioning Rottweilers, with the implication that they are considered
vicious/dangerous, or at least that's what it sounded like, although I know
that the writers meant no offense (and in one case it was an insurance
agent's remark that was being passed on). My sweet rescue Bella's feelings
are hurt--she considers herself a 90-pound lap-ferret! ;) Isn't it ironic
that we cringe and protest when someone talks about how vicious our ferrets
are, but don't think twice about passing on the impression that some other
breed/type of other animal is vicious or unreliable. Just as with ferrets
and pretty much every other type of pet, some _individual_ animals are
(generally due to maltreatment or discipline problems, and often
correctable with time and care), most aren't. Not a criticism, really,
just an observation.
Best Regards (and prayers for those with ailing fuzzies and/or recent
losses),
