Congrats on your mom finally agreeing to allow you to feed RAW. I've been talking to my dad about it, and he's going to read all of the research I've done it. He's not grossed out by it, he just wants to understand how it'll better Daisy. We're also going to talk to the vet before doing anything, too. It's not something we just want to go *snap* and it's done with. We want to make sure it's the right choice for her. We don't mind the money, we don't mind the gross look of it or the idea of it.

Let me give you some advice. Even though your mom finally agreed to let you feed RAW, don't stop looking for a flow of money. It'll show your mom that you're responsible. Offer to help pay for the expense, even though she said she would. Show her you're willing to help whenever you can by getting a job (or some kind of "constant" flow of cash). If she is paying for the entire RAW diet and you cannot get a job of some kind, pick up responsibility around the house. Cook dinner, do the laundry, clean the house, wash the cars. Do what you CAN, even if you can't help pay for stuff. Trust me, it'll show and your mom will appreciate it, even if she forgets to mention it. Don't expect a thank you, just do it as a way of meeting your mom half way.
I was still planning on looking for jobs anyways . I can't be a Vegetarian and feed Raw because my mom said so. She said today that se wasn't going to stock up our freezer with meat for the dogs while she couldn't eat meat. She was too lazy to cook meat for her, and then say a Veggie burger for me . So, for the well-being of my dogs, I went back to eating meat so my mom would buy the meat for them.
