I've spent a lot on vet visits for my dog, so I decided to look into what pet insurance I could get. In the last year, she's had a series of vet visits that left us with a few thousand dollars in bills to pay. I decided to price out three popular pet insurance plans to figure out which one is right for us. It offers a bundling discount of up to 10%, making my pet insurance premiums cheaper than any other provider. Plus, I received an insurance bundling discount because I already had other insurance plans through the company.

ConocoPhillips , Marathon Oil : Conoco shares fell 3% after the company said it planned to buy Marathon Oil in a deal $17.1 billion all-stock transaction. "Conoco is a very, very good company," Jim Cramer said, though he wondered whether U.S. antitrust regulators may heavily scrutinize the tie-up. "This deal makes a ton of sense, but I would buy Conoco over Marathon here." "Now, the can't-last theory is so stupid because what that says is, without doing any work, that stock can't be up 100%. "Cava is a great company," Cramer said.

Don’t Blame the Office Dog for the Human Problem

Make the Dog Days OverI share my office with another co-worker and her large, stinky dog. I’m 99 percent sure my co-worker is aware I hate her dog, as I don’t pet it or interact with it. It is a verbal tic, very distracting albeit harmless. To protect his anonymity, let’s say it’s “quite frankly.” Now imagine watching someone give a 30-minute presentation in which he says “quite frankly” dozens of times, including in incongruous ways like: “Quite frankly, the next steps in the study are to document our findings in a final report.” No one has ever brought it to his attention. That said, it’s also relatively harmless, and for some people a verbal tic may be a symptom of a medical condition.

The North American Pet Health Insurance Association found that pet owners in the US paid $3.9 billion in premiums in 2023, a 22% increase from the year before. One thing is for sure: As the industry grows, pet insurance is becoming as confusing and messy as health insurance is for humans. Pet insurance isn't technically even health insurance; it falls in the property-and-casualty category. AdvertisementThe big problem with pet insurance is it's just an expensive productThere are three categories of pet insurance: accident only; accident and illness; and accident, illness, and wellness. Advertisement"It's important that pet owners understand the scope of what their pet insurance does and does not cover, so they're not caught off guard by unexpected payments," he said.

CNN —A 70-year-old man was killed by a cow moose after he tried to take photos of the animal and its newborn calves near his home in southern Alaska on Sunday, authorities said. The man, Dale Chorman, was with a friend when the pair spotted a female moose and her two newborn calves in the city of Homer, the Alaska Department of Public Safety said. “Dale was with another adult male and they were attempting to take photos of two newborn moose calves when the cow moose attacked Dale,” agency spokesperson Austin McDaniel told CNN in an email Tuesday. While in the company of her calves, a female moose will not hesitate to attack should a person come near them, McDaniel said. “Cow moose with calves are known to be relentless in their efforts to defend their calves from perceived threats,” McDaniel said.

I was actually a dog mom for six years before I had my son, so when he was born, he already had a pet. But when he was four, we lost our family dog to an illness, and the loss was really difficult for both of us. While there was a huge void left behind, I was hesitant to get another dog, because I was worried about affording the expense of a new animal on my single mom budget. I already had the skills in place to afford a dog on my single mom budgetI had been a single mom for six years when we got our new dog, so I had already learned how to make our budget stretch. Even though I had been hesitant to bring another dog into our lives, adopting him was one of the best things I could have done for my son and myself as a single mom.

New York CNN —Target has slashed prices on more than 1,500 popular items beginning immediately, ranging from butter to laundry detergent, as the retailer attempts to attract inflation-wary shoppers turned off by high prices. Prices have dropped effective Monday, with “thousands more price cuts” — amounting to 5,000 items — being reduced over the summer, the retailer announced. Retail sales growth has taken a hit because of high prices: Last month, retail sales were unchanged from March, when spending increased by a downwardly revised 0.6%, the Commerce Department recently reported. By comparison, a year ago, retail sales surged by 3%. In response, Target recently created a new house brand called Dealworthy to take on dollar stores and Walmart.

There are more than 800 species of ticks found around the world, and 84 that have been documented in the United States. The most common ones are blacklegged ticks (also known as deer ticks, but they feed on lots of animals besides deer), lone star ticks, American dog ticks and brown dog ticks. However, only female ticks drink to the point that they become engorged. Preventing tick bitesThe diseases carried by ticks can be debilitating or even life-threatening, and the risk of infection increases the longer a tick has been on you. Yes, they can be a public health concern, but we don’t want you to let ticks keep you indoors,” she said.
