Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You ever read something and you're just taking a back
You're like, there's no freaking way this is real.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
How much it cost to have pets?
Speaker 3 (00:10):
I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I didn't either, especially well, you have seventy horses or
something like that, hearing three dogs and.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Yeah, so we've got three dogs at home. But yeah,
my parents farm where my horses are, they have seventy
something horses on the property. I have a very very
vague idea of how much money it costs to keep
that place running.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
And holy smokes.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Well people think it costs about six grand to have
a cat for its life. They think it's about six grand, okay, yeah,
and dogs about eight grand when you add it all
up though, and talking to a bunch of people that
have really done the math, not what they think. The
average cat's about twenty grand to forty seven thousand for
(00:56):
one cat.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Now, I've got questions about this.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And the dogs one August twenty two thousand to sixty
one thousand dollars in the lifetime of a dog, And
I don't know. I like, I just think a little Aaron,
I'm like, is he worth that.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Well, so let's think about that. So twenty two thousand
dollars on the low end, I'm very literal. Let's say
your dog lives for twelve years, which is a pretty
fair age.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
So that's like sad.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
It means I've only got two left. Erin's ten, he's
gonna be ten in August.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Well, I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
He might live longer than that. I mean, I picked
twelve because that's like, yeah, it seems like I don't
know if it's even an average, but I just feel
like it's reasonable. Like if you say, if my dog
passed away at twelve, people aren't like, oh they died's
so young.
Speaker 5 (01:38):
It's like, yeah, that's whinny No about twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's like that's a good a good life.
I wish that they would live longer. I'm saying, but
twenty two thousand dollars over twelve years is like eighteen
hundred dollars a year. You're spending a lot of money
on dog put in vet. But are they assuming that
people are doing like I mean, I don't what are
what all are they saying that you're spending that money
on because that does seem super high to mean.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Well, i's got to be vet bills.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
It's that bills.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
I think it's also a lot of stuff people love.
So some people do more for their pets than others.
And not just shame in anyway, it's just they're also ridiculous.
Pets are like people too, you know, you just spend
time with them or they like kids, you give them
value in time, and uh, it's that's the biggest blessing.
I went out with Aaron yesterday, me Aaron, a backyard
(02:24):
and a blue rubber ball yesterday too. Was it a
blue rubber ball?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No, he was.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
He was having the absolute time of his life.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
He's I mean, it's just every day we do something right,
it's either a walk or if he loves the ball
or he loves this ratty little toy thing that I
that that's definitely an outside, disgusting like rope looking thing.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He just loves because he loves playing tiger war.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Does everything get a slimy.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Ball is disgusting?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
And then I go he likes it when I kick it,
I go punt formation, he goes back, he goes into
punt formation, he goes back, and then he's and he
weights cute and like he's waiting for a punt cute
and uh, and then I punt.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
It and dude, I hit that thing.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It sprays all over the pros ie need to get
the mask back out. But sixty one grand over the
course of however many years.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
That can't be. That just can't be right.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
This is no To get back to the question I posed, Yes,
Aaron is absolutely worth it, but I don't think we've
come anywhere near any or will come I mean not
kind of anywhere near that amount of money on him.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
I will say we.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Were very fortunate. He's been very healthy too, right, So,
and we do his nails, and we do his grooming.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
That helps a lot too.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Like I suppose if you have a high maintenance breed
that requires monthly grooming, I can see how you can
rack that up. But for the most part, I don't know.
I feel like dogs can be pretty low maintenance. You're right,
they just need their food, their water.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
And love.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
But we have our one of our spaniels, Cody. Within
like the first two years of his life, he had
to have two surgeries because he kept eating things he
wasn't supposed to.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
So he's definitely racked up some bills.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
In only two years, so I could see him landing
on that list.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
But what do you mean that issue where he was
eating socks.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
He kind of got over it. But also we just
he has zero access, zero waste.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So have you tried leaving a sock out?
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I'm not gonna test it.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
No, no, no, no, I mean guarded watch it just to
see if he still wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
I don't think we have.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Okay, so you're really boy, this is good training for
the baby that's on the way, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
No, I am not being facetious.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's now there's it's just there's some stuff that you
got to get in the swing of.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Yeah, I've seen where it's like you put out like
a little baby doll and you have like the dog
sniffed that way. They kind of yeah, yeah, like familiar
with it, Like like, what is this crying human?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Are you saying that?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Are you my er go out and eat that thing
in two seconds?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Are you saying that if I don't train him to
not touch socks, he might eat my baby?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, but she definitely want off the ba her clothes.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
That's what I'm worried about.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
And dogs love diapers. Dude, Oh, they love they do.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You're like bringing back some weird, like locked up memory
where a dog got into a diaper when I was
a kid.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Was it yours?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh my gosh, No, I didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You never did. You still never do, is what you are?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Uh gosh, I lost my train of thought. Baby, Oh,
thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
So I am legitimately very very concerned about our baby
and having little baby socks because I do think that
they will eat those because they're gonna smell so.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Tasty and smell tasty.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Yes, baby feet, the dogs, and they're gonna sweat. Did
they not? They can't be don't that's joke. Stop, I
know you.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I swear.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
I've definitely held some sweaty babies. There's no way. What
did they not have sweat pores, glands whatever?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
They also sleep all night long?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Yeah, okay, Oh you're in for it.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
I do you do? You forget that I'm the oldest
of five and baby.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Do it as much as adult dude, I was running
with you. I was running with you until she was
gonna look it up, and then you just debunked your
own little myth that you create the like oh, baby sweat.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I wasn't even gonna look it up. I was like,
I know, is that true?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
I had his back all the way humans don't sweat.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
No, I'm the oldest of five and I've done a
lot of babiesitting when I was growing up, Like, I
know what, I understand babies.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yes, but wait, wait till it's your own. I know
it'll be just way different. I don't know different. I
wouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I never knew until I had everybody's older than me
and my family. Yeah, I never had a clue until
I until I had a couple of them. Thank God
for my wife.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Jeez, I don't know, you know there steps.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
What are those? Nah? He's not going over there that
it was close?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
I don't know's.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
I'm fourteen years older than my little sister, so I
was there for all the baby stuff at a at
that age, and I don't know. I just feel like
I've been through it already. I feel like I've done
a lot of parenting already.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
