Where'd you get your policy?
Nationwide Insurance, I'm happy with them and have made several small claims.

Claim processing time is quick, usually takes 2-3 days.

Tito defining a new borrow upon return from Flafstaff. He shunned the 107°F temps in the backyard...

Hi Folks,

Back home after two weeks in Michigan... Tito was very happy to see us and ate the most kale I have seen him eat in a very long time....Two huge plates. Cleaning lady said he ate very little each 2 days when she fed him.... He is now sleeping peacefully at the toe kick for Margie's computer desk... Full tummy and happy to see us for sure....

Best,
Phil

Pierre's yearly policy is a bit more pricey, but I also have a "Wellness" rider on his policy, besides covering his annual checkup, it also covers his monthly meds and special diet kibble.

I am also in the process of installing a window AC unit for his "boudoir", summertime has hit Hawaii with a vengeance, it was in the high 80's today, with humidity at around the same percentage wise.

Gotta keep the 'lil guy as comfortable as possible, he is already at 1/2 of his expected life.

Frenchies rarely live past 14 years...

Pierre looks exactly like a Brindle Frenchie named Blue that lived around the corner from us when we lived in San Francisco. He and his brother Radar were quite the pair (Radar got his name because he was a Black and White with perfectly symmetrical large black spots around his eyes, too cute!).

They terrified our dogs every time we walked by their wrought iron compound. I am not sure what it was about those two Frenchie's, other than they both were very buffed, that terrified ours.

It was pretty embarrassing to see our's cower and try to pull me out in the street to avoid walking near Blue and Radar's turf. Neighbors could hear me admonishing our two that nobody was afraid of the French....

Frenchie's are some of the cutest dogs on the planet, if a bit terrifying :)

Hi NB,

Actually as a last minute change, Tito stayed in the house instead of the backyard because we had golf ball sized hail and much damage. It could have killed Tito if he was out and about and unable to get to shelter.... Sudden hail storm killed a few family pets, so to keep him safe in tenuous weather circumstances, we elected to leave him in the house, and that proved to be a sound decision as he was high and dry with the flooding that occurred while we were gone. Tito's Tortoisemail was cancelled due to non payment of his monthly fee of one stalk of kale.... So no Tmail from him.

Best,
Phil

Indeed, Frenchies are adorable mutts and make wonderful companions...if you can tolerate their obstinance.

Of all the dog's which have come into my life, Pierre, without a doubt is the most fiercely territorial canine of all, he protects my home and family like no other. This trait extends to when he is in my vehicles and in public with certain people, if he senses that you are a threat in any way, he'll most definitely let you know.

Earlier this year, after our daily afternoon car ride/walk, I stopped at a 7-11, it was just about dusk and left him secured in my beater CR-V with the windows down. A hapless homeless individual decided he'd help himself to some spare change I had on the center console, he obviously did not see Pierre as he reached into the car. While I was in the store I kept an eye on the car and saw the homeless person's actions, accompanied with the car rocking to one side (Pierre weighs 40 pounds) along with the homeless person yelling "f**k.

Pierre took a chunk out of the parasite's right thumb, I suspect the homeless person got a frightening lesson in life that day.

Pierre enjoyed a steak dinner later that night...
