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), Gail Shochet [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 2850]
