One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

  1. I love checking your blog during the day. But I’ve got to say, one of my favorite things is to check your “deal” posts in the morning to see what picture of Lucy you’ve posted. She’s so cute! She needs a calendar!

  3. So I don’t mean this to be rude, but it might come across that way. Please, please, please get Lucy to lose some weight. She is seriously overweight, and is going to have some serious health issues because of it if she doesn’t lose some weight. People are used to seeing overweight dogs, which makes their own overweight dogs look fine. But you have a huge audience, and a lot of people are going to see your photos. If you were to get Lucy to a healthy weight, you would help show pictures of a healthy weight dog, so people were more likely to see what one looks like, if that makes sense. And Lucy would be so much happier (not that she isn’t happy now, but that she would be happier without having to carry around so much extra weight).

    • Lucy is looking overweight in that photo. Hopefully you guys can walk more together and she can cut down on her food some. It would be so much healthier for her.

  4. I’m sorry, but that IS rude!! Mavis takes the time to post a pic of Lucy-which gives all of us a smile-and then you say this?? I am sure that it is the angle of the picture. Mavis loves Lucy and is well aware of how to take care of her. Didn’t your mom tell you,”if you can’t say something nice-don’t say anything!”

    • A dog being overweight can have serious health consequences, and many pet owners are unaware of what a dog looks like when they are in shape. So many dogs are overweight that it often looks normal when you see an overweight pet. This isn’t a matter of angle. And I am really glad that Mavis is taking a good look at Lucy and making a plan to get her to lose some weight, because it can only do good.

      I don’t care at all about what weight a person is, because at the end of the day, it is that person who is in charge of how much exercise they get and how much food they eat. A dog, however, gets as much exercise as they are given. They eat what they are handed. Often, for many pet dogs, this means not enough exercise and too much food. Loving a dog means doing the best you can for them, and part of that is keeping them at a good weight so that they live a long, healthy life. I don’t believe Mavis deliberately made her dog fat, and I don’t doubt that she absolutely loves her dog and wants to do the best she possibly can for her. But I don’t think she realized that Lucy was getting overweight, and having some objective people point it out will help both of them.

  5. Hi, Mavis! I really enjoy your Puggle pictures! She is very photogenic! If you wanted my opinion, I would consult with your vet about Lucy’s weight. We had a 36 lb Pug and our vet said he wasn’t obese, but just a very large Pug.
