Do You Have a High Water Bill?

I received this in a email and I was sure you all would like to see it too.
*******************
Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a doubt that the bills weren’t representative of their actual usage, and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued.
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes, indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. — all to no avail.
One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept hearing water …read more

Wordless Wednesday: The Squirrel

Whenever I have extra bread, cereal, or crackers to throw out, I like to put it in the yard for the animals.  It doesn’t take long for the stuff to get eaten.  Hope you enjoy the pictures.

10 Thrifty Ways to Save Money with Pets

It doesn’t take long for pet owners to figure out just how expensive animals can be.  Sometimes it’s like owning a child.  Some of the expenses you may incur are shots, neutering or spaying, an invisible fence, litter box, cat litter, food, leashes, toys, chew toys, cage or home, travel carrier, and more.  Although these things can be expensive, there are some ways to help you save.
1)  Sign up for a freecycle account.  Just last week I gave away a 3-tier cage.  There are others giving away pet accessories and some freecycle groups will allow pet listings.
2)  Consider adopting an animal …read more

Our Thrifty Cat Bed

Now that Cuddlebug is potty trained (woohoo!) I’ve been getting rid of some of his diapering accessories.  I was going to put his table top changing pad in my yard sale pile, but my cat decided to use it for her new bed.

She just lays there on the dresser, soaking in the sun from the windows.  At least this is keeping the cat hair off of my bed!  Looks as though my cat is being thrifty too by finding new purposes for old items.   ;)

Robocup now a go

Speaking about someone with too much time and money on their hands, there is evidently a whole new world of robots. Now those cute will robot puppies will be playing soccer. I am sure that there is something wrong with such cute puppies playing soccer.

I have a confession …
I think I could waste time watching this for at least 5 minutes. But I really don’t think we should waste our money on this when there is so much to fix like cancer, AIDS, and childhood diseases. Sorry, puppies.

Do-It-Yourself Cat Toys and Furniture

I really have been wanting a cat playhouse for the cat we rescued.  She’s only about 7 months old now and she really enjoys climbing, scratching, and playing. 
This past weekend, our family made a trip to the newest pet store in town.  I knew that cat houses were expensive, but I was almost entertained at how much money people will pay for these things.  I thought it was even funnier when I saw what they were made of.
I found my husband and told him I knew what his new profession could be . . . making cat houses.  Well, I …read more
