4. Sometimes I think I spend more feeding my animals than I do in human groceries

2 horses (sweet feed, oats, hay)
3 peacocks (high protein crumbles)
2 chickens (corn and layer mix)
3 dogs (omg … they eat a lot)
2 house cats and 3 feral cats (dry mostly … and cans for the 17 year old)

I guess they are all why I continue to work, so I can continue to feed

It's insane. Esp if your pet needs 'special' food. That costs even more. CousinIT Jul 2023 #5
