Yes, true, certain pre-existing conditions are not covered such as ACL (knee ligament tear). However, if you're on good terms with your vet, he can put down something, not preexisiting, like a fall. Maybe I shouldn't say that. But insurance takes about 30 days to go into affect.

I can understand being "jumpy" (like when I first got Logan) but she never yelped. A yelp to me, means pain or discomfort.

I spent a lot of time with Logan, to ease her fear of touching something with her tail (Yikes..what was THAT?) or going under tables to get a toy, or hearing anything tin or aluminum. The difference in less than 1 year was remarkable. I never coddled her, as much as I wanted to. I showed her the aluminum foil, the tin tray. I moved a chair so she could go under, then rewarded her with "Good JOB!!!!!" and a cookie. She's still shy with strangers and strange places, but I make it a fun, good thing. She is a different dog. But remember, every living creature has it's own personality. Maybe that's how Runner is.

Does she let you brush her? Can you touch her paws or touch her mouth? It took longer for Logan to let me do that, but she wouldn't dare to snarl or show her teeth to me now. It's unacceptable. She knows damn well I'd never hurt her.

Good luck. Sorry to ramble. I am by no means a pro at any of this. I learn something new everyday. I just try to "read" Logan and go from there. I'll shut up now.
