Chapter 411 The dog that doesn't need to be walked
While waiting to enter the store, Deng Jie and Liu Wenying had a few family conversations, and then teased Yueyue. She and her husband had no children, so they particularly like children and pets. After entering the store, except for watching the Abyssinian cat's ballet performance for a while, she was in front of the dog display cabinet for the rest of the time and endured the pain of selection difficulties. She also felt that the Abyssinian cat who could dance ballet was very good, but she knew that she could not afford it, so she simply didn't think about it.
Not only Zhang Zi'an, but Xiaoxue also noticed Deng Jie. After watching the ballet performance, she ran to Deng Jie to help her advise. The two of them discussed in a low voice, but she knew very little about pets and was just joining in the fun.
Zhang Zian walked over and said, "Sister Deng, who do you like?"
"Standard Manager, you're here just right! Sister Deng thinks that everything is good and can't decide no matter how much, but I'm so worried..." Xiaoxue asked him for help helplessly.
Zhang Zi said with peace of mind, Deng Jie is so worried about choosing a pet!
Deng Jie also smiled embarrassedly and said, "Isn't it poor yet? If I have money, I will buy all the pets here and open a zoo home. How great is it!"
"Okay, then you want to hire a few people who are responsible for shoveling poop at that time, don't forget me." He pointed to his nose and said.
The three of them laughed.
Hearing the laughter, Liu Wenying also pulled Yueyue over, "Sister Deng, you haven't picked it yet? Let's go for lunch together after you have finished it. Today we are rare to get together. Don't go home to eat. Let your husband order a takeaway and look at his old face all day long. You don't feel annoyed? Look at me, I will take Yueyue out today and play until the evening before going back."
Deng Jie couldn't help but hesitate for a moment before agreeing, but first he had to choose a satisfying pet, otherwise he would probably have to move lunch until evening...
Zhang Zian waited for the conversation between them to come to an end before interjecting and asking, "Sister Deng, you are sure you want to buy a dog now, right?"
Deng Jie nodded, "I want to buy a puppy, clingy, and I will surround you all day long, and I won't feel lonely."
"Puppy?" Zhang Zian keenly captured this keyword.
"Yes, the fake Shiba Inu was still a bit big before. Our house was narrow and there were many things. I felt so frustrated when I saw it. Sometimes I couldn't turn around..." Deng Jie said with some difficulty, "I have been looking at puppy before. I bought it because this fake Shiba Inu is cheap."
Zhang Zian thought for a while and asked again: "Which floor does your house live in?"
“Sixth floor.”
“Is there an elevator?”
"No." She shook her head, "I originally thought it was good. After buying a dog, I took it to the community for a walk every day, but..." She smiled bitterly, "When I go to and from get off work, I go up and down the stairs twice a day. Since I had a dog, I have to add two extra times in the morning and evening. Maybe I am older, and after a day or two, my back hurts, and my legs cramps in my legs in the middle of the night... I asked him to take a walk, but he didn't want to. He sat on the sofa and read the newspaper all day long when I got home, and I didn't know what the newspaper was about!"
She became more and more angry as she spoke, "I talked to him, and he was confident that it was the dog I wanted to buy, and of course I had to take charge of the walk. Tell me about this person..."
Seeing that the topic was about to turn to complain about her husband, Liu Wenying hurriedly interrupted: "Living in a high-rise building is a troublesome thing to walk the dog. I have an elevator at home, and I don't want to go up and downstairs, and I have to change my clothes, but it's troublesome... I bought a cat because of this."
Deng Jie sighed, "Later, the dog got sick and didn't walk again, otherwise it might have fallen ill before it fell ill, and I would have become tired first..."
"In other words, do you want to raise a puppy that doesn't need to be walked?" Zhang Zian asked.
Not only Binhai City, but also many old communities built 20 or 30 years ago in China still exist today. A considerable number of residential buildings do not have elevators. Residents living on the top floor have many inconveniences to raise dogs, especially walking their dogs every day, which will become a heavy burden if they grow up. However, if they are not walking, most dogs who cannot vent their energy will struggle to the bottom of their homes.
Many high-rise residents did not fully consider the difficulties before raising dogs, and at the same time overestimated their enthusiasm for raising dogs and took the dog home with confidence. It was fine for a day or two. Once the initial freshness passed, they would blame each other for walking the dog like Deng Jie and his wife. The final result was to abandon the dog or give it to others.
It would be fine if there were children who were equally energetic at home, and they could let the children walk their dogs. However, in Deng Jie's case, there were only two middle-aged men and women in the family, and it was really unbearable to go up and down the stairs twice a day. Fortunately, it is autumn and winter now, and if it is summer, the stairs will be covered in sweat.
Zhang Zian asked Deng Jie's heart, and she focused her attention, "Yes! Is there such a dog?"
"Then you can consider this Jingba." Zhang Zi'an pointed to a pure white Jingba in the display cabinet and said, "Although Jingba is quite common, it also proves that they are adaptable. In fact, Jingba has the least amount of exercise among almost all dogs. You can teach it to use a dog toilet so keep it at home afterwards. It doesn't matter if you go down the building every few days."
"Dog toilet? There's this thing?" Deng Jie asked in surprise, "I only know that cats have cat litter box. This is the first time I heard that there is a dog toilet. Don't dogs take them outside to solve urination and defecation?"
"Of course there is. The purpose of bringing dogs outside is to let them vent their excess energy through exercise, and solving the problem of urination and defecation is just a matter of by the way." Zhang Zian corrected her wrong concept.
"Wang Qian! Come over with a dog toilet!" he shouted to the outside.
Wang Qian responded and soon brought a large fenced dog toilet.
The structure of the dog toilet is very simple and the price is also very cheap. There are pure plastic fences on three sides and plastic grids in the middle, so that the dog's urine and defecation can leak.
"How do you use this thing?" Deng Jie asked curiously.
Zhang Zi'an put the dog toilet on the ground, opened the display cabinet and carried it out of Jingba, placed it on the plastic grid, and explained to Deng Jie: "You should stare at it at the beginning, especially after eating or drinking water for ten minutes, carry it here, hold it for a while, and waste it with it. If it doesn't urinate and defecate, it won't let it go out. After it finishes urinating, give it some favorite snacks as a reward. If it does this, it will be a habit and can go to the toilet by itself. By the way, your husband likes to read newspapers, so you must have a lot of scrap newspapers at home, right?"
"There are! A lot of them! All kinds of newspapers!" Deng Jie said hatefully.
"Then you put a few more layers of newspapers on the grid. After it finishes urinating and defecating, put the top layer or two layers of newspapers into the garbage bag, and throw them away when you go downstairs the next morning or at noon. It's very convenient and there is no smell in the room." Zhang Zi'an said while gesturing.
Deng Jie's heart moved. This was a very good method. If it worked, it would save you from taking the dog downstairs twice a day.
Liu Wenying echoed, "Then isn't this more convenient than a cat litter box and saves money?"
"That's right, but only for dogs like Jingba, which require very little exercise, other dogs are not very suitable. Even Chihuahuas, which are smaller than Jingba, need to exercise outdoors once or twice a day." Zhang Zi'an reminded.
In fact, not only middle-aged men and women like Deng Jie who live in high-rise buildings without elevators, but also otaku who stays indoors all day and doesn’t even want to leave the house. If you force yourself to raise a dog, Jingba is almost the only correct choice.
"Let's talk about Jingba itself." Zhang Zi'an picked up the Jingba and asked Deng Jie to take a closer look. "Although there are many Jingbas on the streets outside, most of them are series of Jingbas. Purebred Jingba is not very common."
The biggest feature of Jingba is its teeth. The tip of the nose is almost on the same level as the eyes. The wet eyes are big and round, and it looks very vivid. The hair on its body is very long and has a soft feel. It needs to be combed every to two days, otherwise it may be knotted. On the contrary, the frequency of bathing is very low, once a month, especially when it is kept indoors.
Deng Jie took the Jingba puppy and hugged it carefully in her arms. Xiao Jingba stared at her with wide eyes, and from time to time he stuck out his tongue to lick the tip of his dark nose.
"Your community is relatively old, and there will be occasional burglaries, right?" Zhang Zi'an asked.
"Yes, the thief who entered the community every few days has lost everything!" Deng Jie hated this when she talked about it, "If it weren't for the money, I would have moved away long ago."
When Zhang Zian heard this, he took the opportunity to introduce: "Although Jingba is small, it is a very outstanding watchdog and is very alert to strangers. Once a thief tries to invade the room through the window or door, even if you don't notice it, it will bark loudly, enough to scare the thief away, completely different from those Samoyed Husky who faces a smile on his face."
There are several old-fashioned communities near the Qiyuan Pet Shop, and theft incidents often occur. He has heard of many cases of thieves being scared away by small dogs like the Kyoba Chihuahua. On the contrary, the large dogs that are thrown away are often not useful, and they will go to see off guests when the thief takes away the property.
Deng Jie was even more shaken when she heard this. If buying a puppy, it would not only relieve her and her husband's boredom, but also guard the house and protect the safety of her family's wealth. Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake?
Liu Wenying persuaded from the side: "Sister Deng, I think you don't hesitate, it's all! This Jingba is tailor-made for your family, so why are you hesitating? Don't say it's you, I was moved when I heard it. If my family hadn't already had a Siamese, I might have bought a Jingba and went back!"
Deng Jie finally overcomes the difficulty of choice for the time being and grits her teeth to make a decision: "Okay, that's it!"
