We have found the key with our insurance is making sure there is a clear diagnosis on the receipt or separate form from the vet to submit with the claim when there is a treatment. Not all vets make the diagnosis clear on paper so we ask them to do so because we have insurance.

But I can’t keep track of caps on procedures / treatments, deductibles, etc., so it’s always a little bit of a surprise when the check arrives. Sometime nothing, sometimes less than we expect and every once in a while, more than we expect.

Celeste is definitely a diva. She knows she's cute and gets away with everything. She photographs very well, and can vary her look from super cute to absolutely sinister, and she's been doing it since she was a puppy.

Absolutely beautiful. I had a friend on here a few years back that had a Samoyed and he used to post a lot of pics of him. We loved seeing those photos and commenting on the wonderful smile his dog had.

Wish I could remember his dog's name...

PS - it just came to me. Apollo.

Celeste is the youngest of our 4 girls. We just love their personalities, disposition, and how beautiful they are. Our dogs have taken over our lives. Not only do they own us, but we also show and breed them. We also do a lot of mentoring of new puppy owners.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

You should post more about her, and your other dogs as well.

Our boy Blue is now 4.5 months and pushing nearly 45 pounds. He gets to lay around all day while we work. He does wake up to glare at the outside happenings. I set up an office space in my garage and he is liking the spot with the space heater throwing some heat his way. But he is getting restless thinking "where is mama??" She is his human for sure.

He is nearly potty trained. We are at a place where he will never potty inside if he goes out every 3 to 4 hours. But Blue hasn't quite connected the dots on communicating with us when he has to go. So if we lose track of time since his last outing there have been some slip ups. Or if there is a lot of chaos going on the house, things like kids screaming, or using the vacuum he could have an accident. It is a work in progress but we are getting there. We have bells at our front door that we have him shake when we take him outside hoping he will start shaking them on his own when he has to go.

Here are some recent pics of the boy

Mister Rabbit came for a visit...

Mr Rabbit wouldn't last 2 minutes in my yard.

Apologies now to the rabbit lovers.

This is our girl, Kassie, well really she's more my dog than my wife's.

She's 11 and still going strong. As our first Samoyed, she really set the stage for our love of the breed and then what followed as we added to the pack. We learned about how loving, intelligence, but stubborn the breed can be in the first couple of years with her.

You know, Ohio's right around the bend...if you need to borrow an extractor of a 4 legged kind.

Got 90%+ back on second round of teeth too, so net cost for his cleaning and 25 extractions and medicine was well under $500. Now they will probably jack up our rates when it next renews for get their money back, but happy for now.
