Chapter 42
Jingjing walked towards Dahuang proudly. It had a hydrogen balloon tied to its body, which made it stand out among the other dogs and attracted a lot of attention.
Dahuang was obviously very curious about the balloon. He came to Jingjing, looked at it for a long time, then raised his little paws and tugged at the balloon string, looking like he wanted it very much.
When children want something, how can parents not satisfy it?
Lin Gui asked Xu Xinyue, "Hey, where did you buy this balloon? It's so cute. I want to buy one for Da Huang too."
"It's not far, I'll take you there." Xu Xinyue said and took Lin Gui to find a stall selling balloons.
Jingjing: "I'm beautiful, right? My master is so nice. You're not." Jingjing is showing off here.
Da Huang said stubbornly, "It's just so-so."
"Oh, then don't tick it." Jingjing retorted.
Without waiting for Dahuang to continue refutation, Lin Gui called it and took it and Xu Xinyue to find a vendor selling balloons.
Jingjing also followed along. The two puppies continued to bicker along the way until they found the aunt selling balloons and diverted their attention.
When Da Huang saw the aunt's hands full of balloons, he became excited instantly and jumped up to reach the balloons. Unfortunately, due to the height, he couldn't even reach the aunt's rope.
Seeing that Dahuang was so happy about the balloons, Lin Gui started to pick one for Dahuang.
It is said that the colors that dogs can recognize are yellow and blue. Since the weather was so good today, Lin Gui chose a large bright yellow sunflower balloon. After paying, she took the balloon from the aunt.
When Dahuang saw the balloon in the aunt's hand, he was a little restrained. But when he saw that his owner also had a balloon in his hand, he was so happy that he immediately changed his target and raised his claws to scratch Lin Gui.
Lin Gui knew that Da Huang liked it very much, so she didn't tease it and tied a collar to it like Jingjing. Da Huang immediately stopped rubbing Lin Gui, tilted his head to look at his little balloon, and smiled from ear to ear.
After the happiness wore off, he started to fight back and said to Jingjing, "I have one too, and it's prettier than yours, huh."
"Mine looks the best." Jingjing was not willing to be outdone.
But before the two puppies finished arguing, they returned to the puppy club, which is a large dog park where many outdoor pet gatherings are held.
The weather is very good today. The lawn is green and there are dogs with their leashes off running around and barking everywhere. Everyone is enjoying this moment of freedom.
After Dahuang and Jingjing entered the dog park without saying a word, Dahuang also enjoyed the attention that Jingjing had enjoyed before. He was a dog used to this kind of sight, but he was still very happy. Dahuang's whole face showed that he was very happy.
Lin Gui and Xu Xinyue untied the ropes for the two of them, let them interact with the puppies here first, and then they walked to the skylight.
Under the canopy, there are a lot of food, pet toys, etc. arranged by the club, and many people with their pets are also resting here. Lin Gui went over to communicate with old customers and see if he can make new customers and develop new business.
"Wow, where did the balloons on your dog come from? I'm going to buy one for my little baby." The person who spoke was a very energetic young lady. Her dog was a West Highland Terrier. It looked very clingy and never went out to play.
Lin Gui told the energetic young lady the location and joked, "Just buy the medium size in West Highlands. Will the large size take it away?"
Tang Yuan smiled and introduced herself. Xigaodi turned around and looked at her in a daze. Lin Gui was so cute that her face was bleeding. Tang Yuan took it and went to buy balloons. There were four or five people with her. It seemed that Auntie would have no trouble selling balloons today.
"The girl just now is called Tang Yuan, and we all call her Tangyuan. Her baby West Highland Terrier is called Xixi, and it is five years old. Tangyuan takes good care of it. She often dresses it in various small clothes and takes pictures of it. Xixi is so popular because of the small clothes she wears." Xu Xinyue introduced from the side.
This was Lin Gui's first time attending this party, thanks to Xu Xinyue's introduction.
At this time, Dahuang had already run around this small park. The corners of this park were surrounded by wire, so there was no need to worry about dogs running out. There was usually only one entrance and exit, and the owner had to be with the dog to enter and exit.
The lawn has a wide view, and the big balloon on Dahuang's body makes it even more conspicuous. As soon as it ran towards Lin Gui, Lin Gui noticed it. Looking at the smiling Dahuang, Lin Gui decided to come again next time.
Dahuang ran to Lin Gui, glanced at her twice and then ran away again. Lin Gui had just taken out Dahuang's water cup to feed it water, but it ran away. She was completely confused.
Xu Xinyue, who was watching from the side, understood everything and asked her, "Is this Da Huang's first time participating in this kind of activity?"
"That's right." Lin Gui replied.
"That's okay. Maybe it's just to see if you're still there and to find out where you are. Puppies who come to play for the first time will be more cautious. Look at Jingjing. If I hadn't bought a balloon this time, I wouldn't have seen where it went crazy." Xu Xinyue explained and complained.
Lin Gui said, “That’s energetic.”
"It's so energetic. I've been taking it out for fun for the past month and it's really helped me build up my stamina."
The two were chatting when Tang Yuan and the others came back. Everyone was holding a balloon in their hands, some big and some small. Xi Gaodi's was a pig balloon, almost the same size as the boy.
All the parents went to find their children and hung balloons on them, which made the children happy and made it easier to find them.
Tang Yuan was worried about how to tie a balloon to her baby as it didn't have a pet collar.
Lin Gui and Xu Xinyue both came over to help find a solution.
"Or tie it in the fur on its head." Xu Xinyue observed for a long time and made a suggestion.
"You can't pull it, it will hurt." Lin Gui added.
"I'll try." Tang Yuan pulled the hair on Xixi's neck. He tied the balloon to it. Xixi didn't have any adverse reactions, but the balloon looked like it would fly away at any moment.
After reinforcing it for a long time, it seemed a little stronger, so Tang Yuan let go and let Xixi play with its little friends.
The West Highland Terrier staggered to the center of the dogs with small steps, a small pink pig balloon hanging from its neck, making it look out of place among the medium to large dogs and big balloons.
But everyone took it out to play, and the puppies chased each other, which was a very heartwarming scene.
Lin Gui was curious about why the puppies here didn't fight, so she asked the old member Tang Yuan.
"They have been together for several years, so of course they don't fight much. Besides, these dogs are over two years old, and my baby is five years old. He has passed the stage of being energetic." Tang Yuan replied.
The topic naturally turned to the issue of pet lifespan.
Tang Yuan said: "I just hope my baby can be happy in his short life."
Everyone is not very sensitive about this topic anymore, after all, they have thought about this issue carefully before raising a pet.
Lin Gui pulled 009's attention away from the little dog running across the grass and asked, "Your world is so developed with pets, is there any way to prolong the lives of babies?"
009 had just been happily tracking the puppies when Lin Gui suddenly pulled him back to think about this question about life.
"The lifespan of puppies in our world is only about 22 years, and that's for puppies that have been well cared for."
"Your world is so technologically advanced, but don't you have medicine to prolong life?"
"No matter how advanced technology is, it must follow nature. Host, your concept is wrong."
"Furthermore, if we gradually improve their physical condition, their lifespan will gradually increase. Three hundred years ago, the average lifespan of the young men in our world was only 21, but now it's 22."
It took three hundred years for evolution to happen a little bit, which shows how slowly nature changes.
Not thinking about the future anymore, Lin Gui and the other young people started playing games while their dogs were away.
Werewolf, Truth or Dare,...Lin Gui and the others had a great time.
Until Da Huang nagged Lin Gui with his mouth, Lin Gui turned around and found that everyone's dogs were about to come. It seemed that they could not play anymore, and the game group was officially disbanded.
Lin Gui took out a small water cup specially used for Dahuang, poured water into it to feed it. It seemed that Dahuang was really having fun. Dahuang gulped down the water and finished it in a short while. Then he took Lin Gui to help clean up its poop.
Everyone's dogs also came to take a break. The owners wiped their hands and feet, fed them water, and cleaned their poop. After the break, the puppies all snuggled up to their owners obediently.
"It's time for us to exercise." Xu Xinyue said to Lin Gui after bringing Jingjing back.
Before Lin Gui understood what she meant, the rested puppy came to play with its owner.
It was a Husky, running towards the small ball thrown far away at the command of its owner.
"The exercise just now can't exhaust their energy at all. They will definitely quarrel again as soon as they get home. Look at how quickly the Husky recovered." Xu Xinyue explained.
Lin Gui understood, but seeing that Da Huang was still resting and didn't understand, Lin Gui didn't wake it up. She would play with it when it wanted to play by itself.
But Jingjing couldn't wait any longer and kept urging its owner, so Xu Xinyue also ran away with it.
Tang Yuan held Xixi in his arms, looked at them with a smile and said, "Fortunately, my Xixi doesn't like to move anymore." He watched these energetic dogs with a gloating look.
In fact, dogs are not stupid, especially the Husky, who is not as stupid as Erha at all. He is very smart. If he catches the ball, he will give it to the owner. If he can't catch it, he will return to the owner for the owner to pick it up.
After the owner picks it up, he will throw it back and play with it again. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether it is the owner or the puppy playing with it.
But Lin Gui didn't have this worry. She smiled proudly in her heart. She was the one who was sure to win the frisbee, but it was a pity that she couldn't promote this selling point.
It seemed that Dahuang had rested enough. Looking at these little puppies, he wanted to play too. He saw that Lin Gui took his little frisbee with him when he went out, so he buried his head in Lin Gui's bag and rummaged through it.
Finally, it was found. It came to Lin Gui with a bright yellow frisbee in its mouth and looked at her eagerly.
