So funny! We definitely save on going out for happy hour because we need to come home and let the dogs out and feed then dinner. Major savings!! : )

From the Husband:
That’s over $51,000 a year in Snickers bars for me, right?

BOL! These are great! What was I thinking, having kids?! I could have just stuck with dogs!

Another one which had me in stitches! I actually agree with the heating one- don’t need it when I have a 100+lb Rottie on my lap ALL OF THE TIME!

Haha! This is awesome! The gym membership one is just downright factual. And the kids one made me l-o-l. Disagree on the last point, though – I have a very specific avoiding-drool routine to get out the door in the morning looking like a respectable professional 🙂 A girl can have a couple of huge dogs and lots of pairs of heels all at once – I’m proof!

Oh, but you missed one – lawn care! No yard to maintain if it’s mostly dead!

Neither Frankie or Beryl are lap dogs (probably just as well in Beryl’s case) so they don’t keep me warm in the cold weather. In fact I probably spend more money on firewood to keep Frankie happy 🙂

Apart from that it would be a ‘yes’ to all of the above. We won’t mention me buying a 4WD car so we can drive way down the beach, or shifting house so we’re nearer the beach. We’ve all benefitted from those extra dollars I spent.

Ha ha, I feel way better about all those vet bills now! Those are great….I especially love the saved money on phone calls to friends. My dogs are WAY better listeners than my friends, who mostly want to do all the talking about themselves. I never get that from the dogs!

How about no need for an exterminator? Between the cats and dogs I don’t have to worry about have any rodents for long. And my flowers are safe from deer because of the dogs.

How about eating right. I eat less junk food because I share my meals and snacks with the dogs, keeping us all healthier and less visits to the doctor.

And I don’t need any security alarm with 6 protective dogs!!

Great list Pamela! Hope you are having a Happy Birthday and living your dream on your vacation. 🙂

HAHA Cute. I’m still pretty sure we’re not saving any money in total but I love the list.
