Your Pets and the Holidays

Thursday November 12, 2009

With the holidays fast approaching many will have visitors coming soon or will be visitors. It is common to remember to baby proof or kid proof your house and for others to ask if your baby or child can have a certain treat or not... but what about your pet?

Many pet owners carry pet insurance as one tool to keep their pets healthy, just as one would carry insurance on their child. But many pet owners forget to remind others or forget to "pet proof" their homes as they would for children. As you can imagine, pets can get into many ornaments and other items that can make them sick. Along with that, it is important to let guests know what treats your pet can and cannot have. Having a pet friendly holiday can keep your pet healthier and save you both a visit to the veterinarian.

People Without Car Insurance, What do You Think... Should We "Give Them a Break?"

Thursday November 5, 2009

I recently came across a story at www.kfoxtv.com. The story explains how a new law in Texas is causing people to lose their cars because of not having insurance.

Getting your car towed if you don't have car insurance is common since it is the law in all states to carry some type of minimum car insurance. Some in the story feel the law should not be so strict. A person in the article, Teran, says that before towing someone's car because of not having insurance the authorities should, "check first if a person has had insurance. If it has lapsed within a certain amount of time, then give them a break, cite them for no insurance, but don't tow the car."

"Give Them a Break?" What do you think would happen if we just gave everyone a break as Teran suggests when one does not have car insurance?
