Brendan,

Only 6 awards?

Surely Choice can find at least 10 deserving rogues?.

I’m glad that pet insurance was exposed as a ripoff. I looked into it when I got Toby (my previous kitty, Tom, was a sickly kid and I could not get insurance for him at all) but the cost vs benefit told me it just wasnt worth it. Paying out of pocket is much cheaper.
