The long-term habits ARE the hardest to change, and you will backslide. Be prepared, don't beat yourself up. I've been doing the frugal thing for a long, long time, and I still trip up from time to time. It's normal. As for the pet sitting, I think it's a good idea. It sounds like you are very attentive to your dog's needs, and that will make her healthier, which will be more frugal in the long run. ;) If we go away for more than an overnight trip, we have someone come in to check on the cats. Payment may be money or it may be a dinner out. It depends on how long we need the pet sitter and how much we need them to do. So I know where you're coming from there. Go you for caring so much about your animal. So many animals are not so fortunate! It's been nice to meet you. I've linked to your blog. I hope you'll check back on mine, though it tends to be more personal/homey. ~JM You’re doing well! The long-term habits ARE the hardest to change, and you will backslide.
