ENGAGEMENT MCDONALD, JONES TO WED D.H.Lyday,arancherof the Dairyville district, lost the two middle fingers of his left hand Saturday as the result of a serious ac- cident near his home ear- lier in the day. Taking his shotgun Lyday started out to shoot a henhawk, he placed the gun on the ground, at the same time placing his left hand over the muzzle of the gun. In some way Lyday's leg came in contact with the trigger of the gun, firing a shot that pierced his left hand which was still hold- ing the muzzle. The shot inflicted a fear- ful injury, causing intense pain for the victim of the accident. — Oct. 18, 1924 90 YEARS AGO...

With regard to that ar- ticle, PETS has compiled a list of re- sources that may be able to assist in emergencies. A copy will be e-mailed to you if you contact rmcredbluff@ gmail.com . When it comes to our pets, many guardians will do whatever it takes to keep their pets healthy and happy, especially if those animals become severely ill or injured. Though a pet parent wants to pro- vide their companion with the best care possible, sometimes the high costs can force a person to make not only a tough financial decision, but an exceedingly emotional one, too. Therefore pet parents, if able, should plan for the worst, because the worst can be horribly expensive. That is where pet insur- ance can come in. Simi- lar to one's own health in- surance, it covers medical costs should your pet get sick or injured. A search for pet insur- ance on the internet will reveal a multitude of com- panies. However, when researching which plan is the best to meet your needs, you should know a few things. Not every in- surance plan is the same. Some insurance plans will cover an accident to your pet, but not an illness. Some plans will cover treatment for specific ill- nesses while others do not. When deciding on a plan, first decide what you need to have covered. While price plays a huge part in the decision, do not let it be the only factor. A low price may not be a bargain if the insurance company de- nies a claim. Remember, cheaper policies tend to provide less coverage. When a person has health insurance, the doc- tor typically invoices the in- surance company first and then bills you after the com- pany pays what your plan covers. However, with pet insurance, you are respon- sible to pay the veterinary bill first and then submit the claim to your insurance company for reimburse- ment. Pet insurance is not health insurance. It is a form of property insurance. Whether a pet is property, or not, is a topic for another discussion. It is important to re- member that pre-existing conditions are not covered. Attempting to cover an ex- isting condition would be akin to buying insurance after an accident and hav- ing the insurance company pay for the damage. Be sure to check if your insurer excludes or charges a greater premium for the breed of pet you have. Some breeds are pre-disposed to certain illnesses, which can cost the insuring compa- nies more. Also, see if the insurance excludes any he- reditary conditions. In ad- dition, be aware that some companies have age limits for coverage. Various com- panies are quite specific about when insurance can start and at what age cover- age ends. In addition, some companies will offer a dis- count if you are planning to insure more than one pet with them. Above all, make sure you understand what you are buying. Some policies cover only accidents, others cover accidents & illness, and a few offer, along with acci- dent and illness coverage, to cover preventative care. Oc- casionally, if you are willing to pay extra, optional cov- erage is available to cover items such as drugs, den- tal care, and cancer treat- ments. Be sure to check what the deductible is and what the maximum pay- ment allowed for a specific illness or injury is. Only you can determine if pet insurance is worth the premium paid. Remem- ber, like any other insur- ance, it protects you from large, unexpected vet bills. If the decision of choosing whether to go into debt or euthanizing your pet is one you would rather not make, then pet insurance might be a viable alternative.
