Mayhem

I got a friend named Mayhem. He’s a wild-looking, crazy dog a few fries short of a happy meal. On the other hand, the dude is fun to be around.

Mayhem reminds me of the crazy guy on the Allstate Insurance commercials. He’s the personification (word of the day) of mayhem (the verb). It’s hilarious. If you haven’t seen the commercials, here are two of my favorites:





The reason I bring mayhem up (the insurance, not the dog) is because it reminds me (and Jet my foster mom) to consider getting pet insurance.

Review your insurance options. At least that’s what Jet says. She found this ingenious website where you can learn all you need about pet insurance: http://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com/?gclid=CJ6nh-fmvKMCFQ5O2god8H2-bQ. This site has instant price comparisons with multiple vendors – instantly. It even lets you move a thingy on the screen to lower your deductible. (-Whatever that is.) All you do is plug in your zip code and it starts. It’s genius.

So, here’s my lesson of the day… Mayhem happens to dogs just as easily as it does to humans and mayhem is EX-PEN-SIVE so get insurance for your humans and for you.

Okay, here’s the question of the day from Shrimpy who asked: I’m a dog but I was named after a sea creature. It’s givin’ me a complex.
Any suggestions how to deal with my lame name?


Dear Shrimpy
I don’t answer such lame questions.
