For some bizarre reason I told my mom that it would cost $20,000 for me to get a service dog. That's actually for the first 5 years. It actually will cost more like $8,000.
I made a spreadsheet with all of the costs for the first year and an emergency fund. I included everything, food, treats, bowls, crate, a new fence...all of it is there. The total came out to $8,056. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. It's a doable number. I could see us raising that.
I talked to my uncle today, I have a "Let me look at it", so that's a good sign. My Aunt and Uncle are really neat people, they would be a lot of help in doing something like this. I still need to ask a couple of my friends and ask my boyfriend to ask one or two of our mutual friends.
I have a good feeling about this. I think that I can do this pretty quickly actually, maybe I'll be able to start training my dog in less than a year.
Just a bit of an update.
Peace, Love, and Pineapple!
