I always appreciate, and am flattered and complimented by, the tributes I receive – no matter what their size. However, as with many things in life, when considering tributes, BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER! The more you tribute Me, the happier I am, the more pleased I am with you, and the more satisfied you will be that you have done the most that you can to support my lavish lifestyle.

I often receive messages from My pets saying that they wish they could do more for Me. Well – with some creative thinking and effort and sacrifice, almost all My pets CAN do more for Me. So – in the interest of helping you accomplish your goal of being as good a paypet puppy as possible for Me, here are some ideas on ways of saving and earning more money so you can do a better job of pleasing Me!

1. Analyze your spending habits carefully

How much do you spend on average each week on “incidentals”? Coffee at a coffee shop? Haircuts? Lunches out? Dinners out? Going to the movies? Buying new things for yourself? Spending money on your wife or girlfriend? My experience has been that most pets spend much more on these unnecessary expenses each week than they realize, and that with a little effort, they can cut back on non- essential spending by at least 50%.

Try the following exercise. For the next two weeks, keep track of every dollar that you spend, and before spending each dollar, ask yourself “Is this really a necessary expense, or would it be better to put aside this money for Goddess Valentine?”. Keep track of the amount of money that you are able to save this way. At the end of two weeks, send Me a report on your daily spending – and savings – and, of course, send the money you have saved to Me. The small sacrifices that you make to spend less (and to send Me more) will please Me and will definitely make Me more pleased with you.

2. Set aside money for My Perfect Self EVERY DAY

Whether it is the money you have saved by reducing your spending on incidentals, or whether it is extra money that you can afford to save on a regular basis, you will find that if you make a habit of setting aside money for your Goddess on a daily basis, that at the end of the week, or two weeks, or a month, the amount that you have available to tribute Me will be more than you expected. Small amounts on a daily basis do add up! Even just $10 per day will make a nice extra tribute for Me every two weeks. And once you get used to putting $10 per day into your Goddess Tribute fund, you should then be able to increase that to $12, and then $15, and then $20 or more! Or, if you can start at $20 per day, continue that for a few weeks, and then increase the amount to $25 and then $30 and then $40 or more.

The key is to set the money aside for Me EVERY SINGLE DAY and to set aside AS MUCH AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. It will bring you the exquisite pleasure of feeling that you are serving Me each and every day, and will definitely make it possible for you to tribute more to Me each week or month and that will bring a smile to My Perfect Face! And that’s what you want more than anything – isn’t it puppy?

3. Do EXTRA work

Does your current job take up ALL your time puppy? Of course not. I’m sure you have lots of free time in the evenings and/or on weekends – time that could be put to good use earning extra money for Me. Perhaps this might involve taking a part-time second job. Doing something like that shows a commitment to serving and treating Me that would make Me VERY pleased with you puppy. Of course, if you do take a part-time second job for Me puppy, I will be expecting you to tribute Me EVERYTHING that you make at that job. That way, while you do the work, you will have the pleasure of knowing, every moment that you’re working, that all your effort is going toward the service of pleasing Me and supporting My lavish lifestyle!

Even if you don’t take on a second job, there may be other ways you can earn more money for Me in your spare time. Are you a teacher? If so – there are usually lots of opportunities to make money by tutoring students. Are you a police officer? If so – you know that on weekends and evenings there are opportunities to make extra money working for private companies. Do you work in a factory? Try to work as much overtime as possible – and send the money you make working overtime to Me. Do you sell cars? Work one extra shift each week and send any commissions you make during that shift to your Goddess. The important point is that, whatever your current job, there is very likely something you can do with your spare time to earn some nice extra tribute money for Me.

4. Sell items you don’t need any more.

Everyone accumulates lots of things over the years that they don’t really need – and frequently, don’t even want. Why not have a “Goddess Valentine” yard sale! Collect all those old clothes, books, CDs, etc. etc. etc. that you’ve been wanting to get rid of anyway, and sell them. Perhaps you will only make $200 – or perhaps you’ll make $1000. However much it is, you will feel good knowing that someone now is making use of the items that you didn’t need, and you’ll feel especially good when you tell Me what you’ve done and when you send Me the proceeds from your sale.

An alternative to a yard sale is to sell unneeded items on Ebay. It’s easy to do, and often brings in much more than could be earned by selling the items any other way. You’ll probably find that it’s fun selling things on Ebay – and even more so if you have arranged with Me for the money that is earned to go directly into My account!

Of course, selling valuable items like jewelry stands the best chance of bringing in enough money to really bring a smile to My face. Think of the pleasure of emailing Me - or telling Me over chat - that you have put a diamond ring up for sale on Ebay and that the proceeds will go to Me. We can then both watch the auction price go up and up – and we’ll both have smiles on our faces when the ring sells for a very significant amount.

5. Transfer your savings to Me

Some dominant mistresses care little about their slaves and say that they want their slaves to sell everything that the slave owns and want their slaves to give them everything the slave has ever saved. I am not really like that. I care deeply for My loyal paypets and I want to be able to use and abuse them for my well-being over the long term. Of course, it should always be remembered that there can be no better use of a paypet's savings than to tribute their savings to Me. MY NEEDS AND DESIRES ALWAYS COME FIRST. If you have managed to save money over the years, and own some nice sized CD's or have significant investments in stocks or bonds, I want you to tell Me about them. Then, we can discuss what would make ME happy with respect to a schedule of tributes for transferring your savings, and money from the sale of your stocks and bonds, to Me.

Well, puppy, these are just a few ideas for you to help you be a better paypet for Me. If you are creative, you may be able to think of other good ideas as well. Certainly I do not want you to be shy about discussing with Me ways you might save or earn more money so that your tributes can be bigger and more satisfying. Remember puppy – this is something that we can work on together, because we both have the same goal – for you to please Me as much as you possibly can.
