Yeah, I think so too. Especially since some dogs literally inhale their food lol it's also good as a brain game/puzzle for intelligent dogs that might get bored easily. 
	
		
	
	
		
		
			
 You are in your nearly mid 20's and never had a bank account? That is just weird 

 How do you get cash, the "wallet of mom and dad"?
My sisters and I all had bank accounts when we were in grade school. Passbooks back then. The teller would write in them and stamp the date. DD's have had accounts since they were young as well. Where else do you put the birthday and Christmas gift money your grandparents send?
		
 
		
	 
Well, not never. 

 I used to have one when I was younger but I think when you're 18 it closes cause it wss under their name with them as the custodian so we closed it or the bank did or whatever and I just never made another one with them. That said, I did actually make one when I went to my first college and still have it but the new debit cards don't work and I haven't bothered to fix it. Plus there are like no PNC Banks around here. They are common in PA and were down the street from campus. I guess I could bank online? Idk how to use that though.
I want to open one at a local bank.
But yes my mother started giving me $80/week the last few years I guess, idk exactly when. And sometimes she gives me more or less. And I tend to overuse the credit card... 

s
But now that I'm earning my own money and hopefully getting a real job soon idk if she still will. 
But they've always given all of us money when in college.
As for what I do with gifts, I usually just cash it or I was putting them in the other account. 
Currently I just have cash stashed. I actually find I tend to use less cash than credit or debit cards. Although lately I've been blowing through it. How I don't know. Subway almost daily is expensive so I stopped that mostly, when I go in stores I usually find a bunch of other stuff I didn't know I needed, and I've been giving my friend a ton of money. And I also sometimes buy the groceries and stuff with cash. So I guess that's how. I gotta stop giving money away. 
But anyway, when I have it in cash I seem to spend less. Although a few months ago I had to take a bunch out and cut the stash like in half. 
I'm building it back up though which is why I want to open an account. 
I don't know if checking or savings is better though.
	
		
	
	
		
		
			Both of my DDs about die if they have to *gasp* call someone they don't know on the phone. I just don't get it. The person has NO idea who you are and doesn't care! DD2 wanted to drive 30 miles one way to the Walmart south of us to see if they had a particular product that wasn't in the store that is 7 miles from our house. I refused. Call them and ask. She did, they had it, she didn't die 

 Of course she figures since they had it we should have driven down since it wouldn't be a waste of time and gas. 
 
		 
Yeah I hate talking on the phone and don't answer if I don't know the number. And I like driving around/looking physically lol more fun. Wouldn't drive 60 miles though. I do have a limit lol
