00:00 I've got two dogs and they're big dogs and I've inherited my daughter's hamster
00:05 because she's too busy with uni to look after it.
00:07 So we're still feeding them the same thing but the cost of the food is just going up and up and up
00:13 which is a bit scary.
00:13 Luckily they're both insured so vet bills and stuff are covered
00:17 but I imagine a lot of people like us are looking at what they feed them and think
00:21 am I going to keep affording this if it keeps going this way and prices keep going up.
00:25 It's become a little bit more difficult for me because the financial situation has been
00:29 tough for me especially now my dad passed away in December and I've got a dog who
00:32 isn't exactly well at the moment and we're trying to support all of us but it feels like
00:37 in the future I probably won't have a pet mainly because I can't bear it if something
00:42 bad happens to them and I can't afford to keep them.
00:44 I'd prefer to have someone that was more financially stable than me
00:47 because of what I've inherited just now I won't be able to get very far.
00:50 I'd probably be stretching myself a bit if I was having to afford a pet and stuff like that
00:54 and obviously the time associated with that where you can't be I guess working more.
