Patrick,
I don't know where you found those estimates for food but i have three
dogs and two cats and we certainly do not spend $20 or $30 per dog.  We
spend about $50 per month for the whole crew.  Also, glad to hear you do
not have a dog since you don't like animals.  I am very curious about
the statement you made about nfb philosophy and your mariage I don't
understand how that would help or hurt your relationship? tom G
