I learn by email that my next-door neighbors have a new dog, but I can't believe it.
We haven't heard a peep, much less a bark, out of that house.
The next day I knock on their door to investigate. I meet Luke, a long lean German shepherd with kind eyes. He's almost totally black--quite a distinguished character. The silent type.
This makes a total of six dogs in three houses: Paolo and Shasta are next door on the other side.
All these dogs are rescues except for Stormy, whom we bought for $500 as a Welsh corgi puppy. She turns out to be our least expensive dog at this point because she's young and has had the fewest medical expenses.
As I leave, Luke's owner Steve remarks, "Yeah, we're thinking about getting insurance."
Uh--yes, you think? Living next door to a reality show about the need for dog health insurance policies?
We should buy them too, but probably Nailah will get refused for her prior medical condition.
