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!!
