    Suggestions, please..

    Okay, since my Raw-feeding dilemma today, I'm going to take some action. If my mom won't buy it, then I'll somehow get money and do it myself. The only problem is I have no idea what kind of job I could do.. I'm going to save every ounce of money I get though, and pay for it myself, because I'm tired of the kibble crap. It's gross, and it's destroying my babies.
    Any job suggestions, or ways I could get money?
    I've already tried babysitting and dogwalking, and they didn't work out, so those 2 are out.

    Household chores for the elderly
    Window washing - charge per pane
    Go around the neighborhood and ask if there are any odd jobs you could do for someone, like taking out trash, weeding a garden, etc. You never know what opportunities are available until you ask!

    How about mowing peoples lawns? My son did that one summer, he made some decent money.

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    What about bathing dogs? Washing cars? Can you pet sit for neighbors during the day, maybe while they're at work?

    I'm not too friendly with our neighbors, because they're not very friendly.. :\
    Bathing dogs sounds like fun, but I have no place to wash them..
    Haha, if I mowed yards that would be hilarious.. We don't own a lawnmower anyways..
    Thanks for the suggestions, though.

    If you're not willing to approach your neighbors and not old enough to drive, then we cannot help you.

    I'm willing to approach them.. it's just my mother yet again . I'll try to talk to some of them..
    I'm sure she'd be willing to drive me a little ways, too.

    Hmmm......... lets see. I'm really close to your age (PM me sometime, I'd love to talk!!!!!!!), I'd go with the helping people clean houses. Just a couple days ago, me and 3 other girls helped someone unpack and clean, organize, move boxes and small furniture into their new house, and we're each getting $100 dollars!!

    Do you think your mom would consider driving to an Aunts and Uncles, a cousins, or a even a close friends' house, so you can help clean their houses, and/or watch their kids?? That way she might feel more comfortable leaving you with someone she knows?

    Did your mom pay for your pets’ kibble?? Tell her you're willing to pay for all the food now!! Maybe then you can set up a system where if you do household chores SHE would usually do, and she gives you a certain amount of money weekly?? She’s just pretty much giving you the money she would use on kibble, right??

    And I just want to say I think it's great you're trying to make your furries, happy and healthier!!! (Mine have been, and probably always will be on regular pet food. )

    Good luck!!
