Budget Info...am I missing anything?

[pawla68]

I am saving up for our first disney trip in October. I have been working on our budget, but feel like I am missing something. Here is what I have so far: Airfare, rental car, vacation home, tickets, parking fees, tolls, food, kennel cost for our Boxer, souvies. Am I forgetting anything? TIA

Gas for the rental car. Airport parking. Sky cap tips.

See, I knew I was forgetting something. We don't have to pay for airport parking as we are leaving from a small airport and parking is free! Thank goodness!!

One other thing, depending on when his last appointment was, you might need to take the dog to the vet for shot updates before he'll be accepted to the kennel. Many kennels won't take an animal within 30 days of the expiration of their shots.

You'd have to pay for it anyhow, but it might come sooner than you were expecting. You definitely want that Bordetella current!

Pawla, I just posted to say that we too have a BOXER. Don't you just love them??

 

[pawla68]

Yes we do. He is so much like one of the kids. He has such a personality. We will only have Boxers from now on. He is so good with the boys too.

If you don't already get the leptspirosis vaccine at least please consider it. My Miranda was the first dog in our area that our vet diagnosed and treated. We were able to trace it back to the kennel we had boarded her at. It was touch and go with her for several days. She recovered but has since passed, old age, she was 17 years old. Anyhow around here it's not routinely given so I ask for it.
