What about Schmidt?
Need a doggie ping please!!!
State Farm does not care what kind of dogs you have and they are very vocal about giving people freedom of pet choice.
I would think all the insurance company has to do is clearly list the ineligible breeds in their policies and then deny payment in the event a claim is made involving an ineligible dog.
This was a good story to post for two reasons;
#1. Advice: Don’t post every detail of your life online, go back and edit every so often.
#2. The womans’ last name may be Egyptian or Iranian. I need reminders like this that some Muslims DO assimilate and DO contribute positively to our society. I already knew that, but it’s good to see new evidence of it as well. I’m realistic, but I don’t like ‘throwing a blanket’ over an entire group. We are all Americans here.
We have an umbrella policy and I don’t remember any questions about dog breed. I think ours is with Progressive. We have a Weim, so the breed wouldn’t have been a problem anyway, however, a Weim killed a 2 year old a few years ago in south Florida. I wonder what the ineligible breeds are...we know Rottweiler, and Pits will be on the list, probably German Shepherds. Makes me wonder how many ineligible breeds there are?
There are some necessary steps to ensure Facebook doesn’t ruin your lives...
1) Adjust your privacy settings so only you and your “friends” can see your content.
2) If you post anything “controversial”, never, EVER, use your real or full name.
3) If anyone not friends or family ask, no, you don’t have any social media accounts.
If they’re going to favor some breeds they should charge based on the amount of noise those yappy little bastids make, and on the quantity of meadow muffins visited upon neighbors yards.
“Mix” is a problem.
At some time in the past someone on a FR thread reported that he had checked a local pound adoption page. Most of the “mixes” were obviously mixed with “pit pull” types.
That I think is what insurance companies are worried about.
Not true. They made it right and have retrained whoever made such a dumb decision
Bigger lesson keep your social media settings on private
Had a buddy who had jury duty upcoming. He mentioned his pending jury duty on Facebook and a couple of us responded with comments along the lines of “Guilty!” and “give him a quick, fair trial and then hang his ass”, etc...
Along comes the day for him to report for jury selection. He was called up to the jury box and the defense attorney asked him if he knew any of the following people: (listing off our names.)
He was taken aback, paused, but said cautiously, “Um, sure I do, old friends of mine.”
Haha, the attorney turned to the judge and requested to dismiss juror number 3. Bam! :-)
perhaps insurance companies should be prohibited from having entire departments dedicated to the sole and only purpose of denying and dropping coverage.
The name is Greek.
Hell, the agent probably told her to leave it off knowing it wouldn’t meet their underwriting guidelines
Yet another reason to not use your real name on social media.
