The cost of bringing you home was 1300 yuan.
The cost of various vaccines later is around 200 – 300 yuan…
Snacks cost 50 yuan per month.
Toys cost 50 yuan every three months.
Small clothes are 30 yuan each, and I buy them occasionally.
I feed Royal 8 – kg packs or Purina One 7 – kg packs. Each bag costs over 350 yuan. Rotating between the two, they last for about two months, with an average cost of 150 yuan.
Buying chicken or beef, cooking it and adding it to the dog food only needs 20 yuan per month.
Buying carrots, broccoli, and sweet potatoes costs 20 yuan per month.
Taking the dog to the pet store for a bath twice a month costs 100 yuan. Luckily, the dog is healthy. If you bathe the dog at home, this cost can be ignored… Oh, how worthless my labor seems…
Grooming is done once every two months, costing between 100 – 150 yuan. And then…
If we could quantify the love and care:
Playing ball, counting at 0.1 yuan per time, and we play more than 30 times a day.
Taking walks for over 45 minutes each in the morning and evening, costing 10 yuan per day. It’s a reasonable price, but the time cost is really high. I go out at 5:30 am and come back at 6:30 am, and then from 7:30 – 8:30 pm.
Each hug, sniffing the dog, and all the affectionate touches, at 0.5 yuan per time, and there are 5 times a day.
The cost of taking taxis or Didi rides because I’m eager to see you and can’t wait to get home to see you every day is over 200 yuan per month.
The labor cost of mopping the floor every day and the water cost of washing the mop are not counted. Also, the electricity cost of leaving the light on for you because I’m afraid you’ll be sad in the dark when I come back late is not counted.
I forgot to count the cost of the floor – laid diapers and disinfectant.
The cost of sterilization was 880 yuan, which was done 15 days ago.
Two meals a day, making boiled supplementary food, chopping it and mixing it with the dog food. The labor, gas, and water cost is 2 yuan per day. I’d rather not eat than not feed you. Oh, and I forgot to count the salmon oil, milk powder, calcium tablets, and trace element tablets… Oh, and the wet dog food packets… They cost over 3 yuan, and one pack lasts two days.
I say to you every day, “Baby, mom loves you.” The cost is one cent. But it’s 100% sincere.
In terms of appearance and pedigree, you don’t have anything special. You can be a Snow White for a day and a half after a bath, and then you start running around and playing, turning into a little grey mess. But you do have a good personality. You’ve never been angry with me. These days, you’re all dirty and your haircut is a disaster, looking really ugly. In others’ eyes, you’re just an ordinary dog, nothing special. But in my heart, you’re the only one. My dearest! My most precious!
Regarding raising a dog, you have to take care of its food, drink, play with it, take it for walks, spend money and time. You have to struggle to get up every day, regardless of wind or rain, and you never get enough sleep… BUT! I’m still extremely happy. Just thinking about my little dog greatly increases my sense of contentment. I feel like I’ve joined a pyramid scheme… During the extremely cold winter, at around 5 am, my dog – loving friend and I were standing in the wind, watching our furry kids play. I thought I was such a fool. [Chuckle]
This is a portrait of the dog I got from Taobao.
This is a picture of her waiting while I’m pooping, hahaha.
Just kidding. Our dog never eats that.
Mom loves you and thanks you. Although it’s tiring, I’m grateful and cherish every moment!
