Insurance

Kilo & Dad

This week Kilos leg got better without having to go back to the vet. This week Kilo was signed up for medical insurance. If it were technologically possible you would feel a breeze waft through your hair at this moment, caused by the collective sigh of my familiar unit. Knowing Kilo is now covered for any future catastrophic events has provided all of us with a priceless commodity: peace of mind. Most of Kilos life has been a blur of unfortunate events and I keep waiting for the giant ball to drop. At least now, if it does drop, we have the means to not only drag it off of him, but to fix the damage it caused as well. The pet insurance companies should consider copying the credit card commercials. It'd show a bunch of cute photographs of the owner and their dog running through a field playing ball while a disembodied voice said "Tennis Balls: $10" then the dog would trip and start limping. Cut to an animal hospital, "Broken Bone: $600" Then the dogs in a cast with a smiling owner. "Having the money to fix your best friend: Priceless." . . . Though I suppose that kind of commercial is a little melancholy.

We tried out camping this week. Kilo is not yet ready for camping. When he wasn't trying to catch drifting embers in his mouth, he was busy barking at his terrifying shadow. He only got to stay for about an hour before I drug him home and made a mental note to try again next year when his maturity level has grown past a two year olds.

Kilo discovered a new source of cold water:

  1. He certainly keeps our lives interesting! And its a good thing he is so affectionate and child like, otherwise we might not be able to tolerate his learning curve.

  3. Love the tub picture - I figured he would get a real kick out of the spigot! LOL

    It's amazing just how much he has grown even since you took that picture of him with me! I think he would show up a lot taller now!
    Perhaps we need to take another to show the comparison in only one month's growth. :O)
