Although dogs are cute. However, it is not recommended to keep them. The following is a brief discussion of the cost and time issues of raising dogs.
My dog, named Jinzi, takes my last name. The reason why I kept him was because my husband was obsessed with the three sled dogs. I heard that Libras love to keep Samoyeds??
To be on the safe side, after experiencing the experience of buying a puppy and not being able to survive the outbreak of parvovirus, I chose him. Jinzi was already 6 months old at the time.
We drove to his owner’s house to pick him up. He was extremely excited, jumping up and down, and didn’t feel the sadness of parting. = 0 = He got in the car under our tow. He didn’t look back at his original owner the whole way, and he didn’t even have the chance to say goodbye to him. . . .
1,500 yuan, bought out his life.
My husband was raising a dog for the first time, so he was particularly attentive. He made his own meals for him, including salmon, ground beef, seaweed powder, bone meal, various vegetables, natural grains, vitamins, calcium tablets, large beef bones for teething, homemade snacks, grilled chicken breast, and goat milk. It is estimated that the monthly food expenses will be 1,500 yuan or more.
In addition, my work is not busy. I take it out to play for a while every morning, then go to work. I go home at noon to play with it for a while, then go to work, and go home around three o’clock in the afternoon. I play with it in the house for a while, and take it out to the park after dinner in the evening.
At that time, I thought he was really hypocritical. Sometimes when I took him out, I was reluctant to let him play with other friends, fearing that they would bite him. Father’s love is like a mountain, haha,
beauty. At first, we were worried that he would be disobedient and go to the beauty salon to get beaten. We bought a hair dryer, a bathtub, shower gel, essential oils, and various combs, and planned to wash it ourselves at home.
Those who have bathed Samoyeds know that you should take a bath after bathing it. Not only will you be sweaty, but your whole body will be covered with hair.
The hair dryer was bought on Taobao for 100-200 yuan. The most expensive items are the bath gel and essential oil. White dogs are prone to dyeing their fur. Their fur is very thick. When it gets hot in the summer, they stick out their tongues and their saliva will dye their fur yellow. A bucket of bath gel that is not harmful to the skin and whitens the skin costs 400 to 600 yuan. It needs to be diluted before use, but it is a big dog with thick fur and can’t last for several months. Essential oils that prevent skin diseases and smell good cost 30 yuan per capsule. One capsule is taken every time you bathe.
Internal and external deworming is done once every three months. A box of imported deworming medicine costs more than 100 yuan.
Finally, we couldn’t stand the fact that every time we washed it, its hair was all white, so we applied for a beauty card for it. Our home is a bit far from the beauty shop, and every time we take it for a ride, we have to wash the car, so every time we ask the beauty shop to drive a small van to pick it up, which costs about 60 yuan round trip, and more than 100 yuan for a bath and beauty.
There are also annual vaccines, and the dog license is almost negligible. . . .
These are things that can be solved with just money. Now let’s talk about the issue of mutual companionship.
For any breed of dog, any bad habits are caused by the owner. There are no problematic dogs, only problematic owners.
Later, the building we lived in was not convenient for raising dogs. There was not enough space. Because we had to go to work and did not have the energy to give it time to educate, in order to give it a better living space, we sent it to my mother’s house who also likes dogs.
No longer have to worry about it being cramped in a small cage every day. It can run and play in the big yard, and there are friends. I go to see it on weekends and take it out to climb mountains and walk on the road. When I don’t go out, I can chase and play with other friends, bite flowers, and look at fish.
Collect the three sled idiots, can you summon the dragon?
Every year when I wait for the holidays, I can go out to travel, work as an excavator at the beach in summer, go outing by the lake in spring,and take maple leaf photos in autumn. Now I just need to play in the snow in winter.
Recently, in order to teach it better and adapt to building life in the future, I bought tutorials and tools to learn dog training. Let Jinzi be a polite dog. There are many elderly people and children in the community, so I will not bring it back until I teach it well. If you also hope to reduce the chance of abandonment and various troubles in the process of raising it, you must teach it well, otherwise you can only sigh at other people’s dogs. . . Train it yourself, spend little money and effort. Find someone to train it, spend a lot of money, and enjoy the results. Are you really ready for all this?
Sit in the rocking chair and rock slowly, haha, I am willing to accompany you to grow up, and I am willing to accompany you to grow old. Although there are differences between raising a poor dog and a rich dog, just like a child, you always want to try your best to give it the best.
