Chapter 15 High Five
It was just past eight o'clock and the pet shop had not yet opened. Liu Wangxue dialed the number on the door.
Not long after, the owner opened the door from the inside.
Qiu Shui Town is a small place, and residents usually keep cats and dogs at home, but they are not as elaborate as those in big cities.
There is only one pet shop in the town, and not many people come to see a doctor or take care of their pets, so the owner usually opens late and closes early. The pet shop has only one owner, who is both a doctor, a nurse, and a salesperson.
Liu Wangxue went in carrying a basket, and the dog whimpered from time to time.
The shop owner knew it immediately and asked, "Is it a stray dog?"
"Yes." Liu Wangxue described the process of encountering it and its reaction.
The store owner took the dog in, did a simple checkup, and said, "It has an upset stomach. This is usually the case with stray dogs. It could be some gastrointestinal disease. I don't have enough equipment here, so I suggest you take it to the city's pet hospital to check if it has other diseases."
Liu Wangxue nodded.
The shop owner asked, "Do you want to adopt it?"
Liu Wangxue was stunned by the question.
Lan Xiaoxi said: "I can't adopt him."
They both looked at her.
She gestured and said, "It has been wandering around our area since it was this big, when it was still a cub. Many families thought it was cute and wanted to keep it, but it would run away after eating and go to the next house when it was hungry. Later, when it grew up, I don't know what happened, it learned to scam people, and would lie on the ground and refuse to leave if you didn't give it food."
"Oh," the shop owner said, "maybe the person who wanted to adopt it didn't give it enough sense of security, especially for a smart one like this."
The shop owner asked Liu Wangxue again: "What do you think?"
Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's give it a bath first."
The shop owner smiled and said, "Okay."
While the two were waiting outside, Xu Qingsong and his friends came over, handed them the meat patties and hot milk baked by Liu Nanshan, and asked, "How's the accident going?"
Liu Wangxue explained the situation and then said, "I want to take it to the city to have a look later."
Li Yu had heard about the dog on the way and asked, "Sister Xuxu, are you planning to adopt it?"
Tao Huayu said: "This dog is impossible to tame. I have fed it so much, but it still won't follow me."
Several people looked at Liu Wangxue.
Liu Wangxue smiled helplessly: "Why are you all looking at me? You guys also said that the decision of whether to raise the child or not is not up to me."
Yue Cheng didn't understand: "Then you still want to take it to the city hospital?"
"It fell right at my feet," Liu Wangxue sighed, "I can't just watch it suffer, can I?"
Xu Qingsong smiled and said to Liu Wangxue: "Maybe you can really raise it."
"Why do you think so?" Tao Huayu asked.
"Thank you for saving my life!" said Xu Qingsong.
Lan Xiaoxi exclaimed: "That's right! The shop owner said Pengci is a smart dog, he will know how to repay the kindness!"
Liu Wangxue felt that with every word they spoke, the story was developing in the direction of fantasy.
After waiting for a while, Tao Huayu looked at the time and had to leave. Lan Xiaoxi and Yue Cheng also said goodbye to Liu Wangxue and had to go to the store.
Li Yu said, "Sister Xuxu, if you are willing to adopt it, you must tell me and I will buy it dog food."
"Okay!" Liu Wangxue agreed.
Everyone left, but Xu Qingsong was still there. Liu Wangxue looked at him and asked, "Are you not busy?"
Xu Qingsong said: "I am free now. I don't want to be busy now. After all, I am also concerned about the fate of this dog."
"Then please continue to pay attention?" Liu Wangxue really didn't know how to respond.
"OK."
Liu Wangxue finished her breakfast before the owner came out with the basket.
The dog has been washed and its hair has been simply trimmed. Some places have severe tangles that cannot be cleaned, so they are simply cut off, revealing its skinny body.
No wonder it feels so light when held in my hand, Liu Wangxue thought.
The store owner said, "I fed it some probiotics and gave it an anti-inflammatory injection. You should take it to a doctor as soon as possible."
Liu Wangxue paid the money and bought a small blanket for the dog and put it in the basket.
The dog whimpered at Liu Wangxue a few times, and Liu Wangxue touched its head.
She called Liu Nanshan, told him what was going on, and then went to the city with Xu Qingsong and chose a pet hospital with a good reputation online.
After explaining the situation, the doctor did a detailed examination and said, "It's a golden retriever, less than a year old. It does have some gastrointestinal problems, which will take some time to recover. Nothing else is serious, there are some parasites, just kill them. There's also some dermatitis on the abdomen, which can be cured with some medicine."
The doctor asked again: "It's a stray dog, right?"
Liu Wangxue nodded.
The doctor said, "It needs to be vaccinated. Do you want to adopt it or send it to a shelter?"
Liu Wangxue hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.
Xu Qingsong explained the dog's condition to the doctor, who expressed his understanding but did not try to persuade him from a moral high ground.
Liu Wangxue couldn't bear it, so he talked to the doctor and temporarily put the dog in this hospital for treatment.
It's not easy for stray pets to meet kind people, so the doctor couldn't help but say, "If you want to adopt the pet, you can come and see it from time to time in the next few days, play with it or feed it, and cultivate some feelings. If the dog is willing to go with you, you can take the certificate I issued to the relevant department to go through the formalities. If it doesn't want to go, I will contact someone to send it to the shelter."
"Okay." Liu Wangxue made a decision in his heart.
Before leaving, he said hello to it: "Stay here and let the doctor treat you. I'll come back to see you tomorrow, okay?"
The dog looked up at her.
Liu Wangxue said as he pulled up the dog's front paw and clapped his hands: "OK, we have a deal!"
The dog whimpered a few times.
On the way back, Xu Qingsong was still driving. Liu Wangxue kept his head down and checked his phone, looking for some posts about golden retrievers.
Xu Qingsong glanced at her and said, "You are so serious. What a pity. You can't see it if you touch the porcelain."
"Even if it saw it, it wouldn't understand." Liu Wangxue said with a smile.
"Not necessarily," Xu Qingsong said, "It is said that smart dogs can sense their owner's emotions."
Liu Wangxue had just seen a related post and agreed: "Then when we meet tomorrow, I will try to let it sense it."
After returning home, they found that Tao Huayu had created a small group for them, called "Caring for Fraudsters Group"
Tao Huayu: [How is @Xu Qingsong? What are the results of the examination? ]
Liu Xu sent a voice message back, explaining the situation.
Yue Cheng: [How lucky you are to be hit by a car]
Lan Xiaoxi: [Sister Xuxu, you are so kind (starry eyes worship.jpg)]
Designer Li Yu: [Dog food and toys are ready, waiting for the return of the touch porcelain (*^_^*)]
Xu Qingsong: [Payment code.jpg]
Xu Qingsong: [Funds have been raised. We will all support the scammers together. Please deposit the money into this account. Thank you.]
Tao Huayu: [@Xu Qingsong should have some shame]
Yue Cheng: [@Xu Qingsong, be a human being]
Lan Xiaoxi: [Hee hee.jpg]
Designer Li Yu: [@Xu Qingsong, your code cannot be scanned, please send it again]
The group suddenly went quiet for a moment, and then the screen was filled with crazy “Hahahaha” sounds.
Liu Xu: [@Designer Li Yu is joking]
Designer Li Yu: [@许青松]
Designer Li Yu: [Flying with a palm.gif]
