I am someone who will live on $3.00 a day worth of food, but will spoil my dogs, lend money to my friends, and donate to charities. This last year however the doormat was lifted off of my back and the only ones I have trouble saying no to are my dogs. For example, I have switched from the nice meaty treats to milk bones, and from more expensive dog foods to science diet (still expensive). Morgan is a puppy and he has repeatedly eaten thru his leash and his older sisters. In a fit of annoyance I made him a new one out of thick fishing rope. FREE
I want him to have a nice dog bed, so I look for one on line, draw it out, and I plan to make it myself out of fabric I already have from another doggy project and old pillows. FREE

My sister thinks I am nuts and should just shell out the dow for nice name brand doggy stuff. She also thinks I should buy new clothes. I am a thrift store kind of person. I have only bought 2 new pairs of pants this year, and it is because I lost 30 lbs, and the others looked rediculous!

So I thought it would be funny to put our little disagreement to a vote. Am I nuts for making my own doggy stuff???

ps. I have sewn my dogs halloween costumes and they are CUTE!! Pictures to come!
