The cost of bringing you home was 1300 yuan.
The cost of various vaccines later was around 200 – 300 yuan…
Snacks cost 50 yuan per month.
Toys cost 50 yuan every three months.
A small piece of clothing costs 30 yuan, and I buy them occasionally.
I feed you Royal 8 – kg packs or Purina Pro Plan 7 – kg packs. Each bag costs over 350 yuan. Mixing the two, they can last for a little over two months, with an average cost of 150 yuan per month.
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.
Bathing at the pet store twice a month costs 100 yuan, and you’re healthy without any problems. If you bathe at home, this cost can be ignored… Alas, my labor seems so worthless…
Grooming once every two months costs between 100 – 150 yuan. And then…
If we could quantify the love and care:
Playing fetch, calculated at 0.1 yuan per time, and we play over 30 times a day.
Taking walks for over 45 minutes each in the morning and evening, calculated at 10 yuan per day. This is a fair price, mainly because the time cost is too high. I go out at 5:30 am and come back at 6:30 am, and then from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Each hug, snuggle, rub, and touch, calculated at 0.5 yuan per time, and we do this 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 meet you every day is over 200 yuan per month.
The cost of mopping the floor every day, including labor and the water for washing the mop, is 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 calculate the cost of the floor – laid diapers and disinfectant.
The cost of sterilization was 880 yuan, and it was done 15 days ago.
Two meals a day, making boiled supplementary food, chopping it and mixing it with the dog food, with a cost of labor, gas, and water at 2 yuan per day. I’d rather not eat than let you go hungry. Oh, and I forgot to calculate the cost of fish oil, milk powder, calcium tablets, trace element tablets… Oh, and there’s also the cat – food – like packet for dogs. It costs over 3 yuan, and you eat one pack every two days.
I tell you every day, “Baby, mom loves you.” The cost is one cent. But it’s 100% sincere.
In terms of appearance and bloodline, you don’t have anything special. After a bath, you can be a Snow White for a day and a half, and then you start running and playing wildly and turn into a little gray – faced one. Your good temper is real. You’ve never been angry with me. These days, you look rather dirty and your haircut is botched, so ugly. In others’ eyes, you’re just an ordinary dog, as ordinary as can be. 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. Every day, I struggle to get up, regardless of wind or rain, and I never get enough sleep… BUT! I’m still extremely happy. Just thinking about my little dog greatly increases my sense of satisfaction. I feel like I’ve joined a pyramid – scheme organization… During the 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 picture drawn by someone on Taobao for my dog.
This is a photo of her waiting while I’m using the toilet. 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.
