HA hahahaha!!! Oh, don''t even ask!!!
We have three fish tanks (two freshwater, one saltwater), a horse (Thoroughbred gelding) and three large dogs (a black lab/mutt mix, a black lab/pit bull mix, and a purebred Great Dane).
Fish food is pretty cheap ~ probably less than $5.00 per month. (Fish monthly total = @$5.00)
Dog food and supplements is probably somewhere around $70.00 per month, and dog grooming is $40.00 per month. (Dog monthly total = @$110.00)
Board for my horse is $325.00 per month. His supplements are around $50.00 per month, and the farrier bill is about $20.00 per month. (Horse monthly total = @$395.00)
So, grand total, we probably spend about $510.00 per month on our pets!!!
I''m pretty lucky . . . I found a GREAT boarding barn about half an hour from my house, and they only charge $325 per month. They have a brand new barn with a brand new (and HUGE!) indoor arena attached, and also a very large outdoor arena. There are a lot of barns in our area that aren''t nearly as nice and charge a good bit more per month.
board them.....at the HORSE TRACK !!
i used to go to the horse track and feed them a lot of
