Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 55

Shen Luo was really happy and hurried to prepare a nutritious meal for Big Beauty, clean the breeding box, and create a comfortable environment for her to incubate the eggs.

Although Shen Luo had made breeding boxes for plenty of birds and even done artificial incubation himself, Big Horn felt like an old friend. When his wife laid eggs, it felt just like when a friend's wife was pregnant. The feeling was completely different.

Recently, Big Horn had been in great spirits, singing two songs every day—songs like "Tomorrow I'll Marry You," "Baby," and "Angel." He sang whatever came to his mind, sometimes out of tune, leaving people speechless.

In the end, even Big Beauty couldn't stand Big Horn's antics and slapped him several times. Only then did he stop, but that smug look on his face made it obvious he was really happy.

A few days later, after the excitement had died down, Wang Bo told Shen Luo, "Qiu Qiu is pregnant."

Shen Luo: ...

Was it really necessary to rush like this?

"Wang Wei, didn't you hear anything last night?" Shen Luo asked. He hadn't seen anyone with Qiu Qiu during the day, so it must've happened at night.

Wang Wei frowned and said, "No, it was quiet all night. If anything had happened, I would've definitely known."

Shen Luo thought for a moment and agreed. Wang Wei wasn't a heavy sleeper. If there had been any noise, he would've heard it. So who made Qiu Qiu pregnant? And why was it done so quietly?

"I think it's probably Ah Chou, right? Haven't you seen him with Qiu Qiu every day? With Qiu Qiu's personality, it's not easy for other cats to get close to her, let alone succeed. So it must've been Ah Chou."

Shen Luo knew that Ah Chou was a smart cat. Once, he had seen Ah Chou sneakily drinking water from Zheng Jiamei's cup. The cup was too deep for the water to be reached, so Ah Chou used his paw to dip in the water and then licked it off. With such intelligence, quietly making Qiu Qiu pregnant wouldn't be difficult at all.

But Qiu Qiu was such a beautiful cat. She had a long, sleek body, and her big eyes always looked so innocent. She had this pure and clear aura about her, and when she was startled, she looked even more pitiful and adorable, making her irresistibly lovable. On the other hand, Ah Chou was so ugly. His eyes weren't that big, and the fur around his mouth was yellow and mixed, looking dirty. The hospital had taken in so many cats, but none were as ugly as Ah Chou. Even though his cow-patterned fur was quite unique, it didn't change the fact that he wasn't attractive. Who knew what the kittens would look like?

Sigh, it was a waste for such a beautiful cat like Qiu Qiu. But well, it was a mutual decision, and as an outsider, there wasn't much Shen Luo could say.

After Qiu Qiu got pregnant, Shen Luo wasn't sure if Ah Chou understood, but he stopped bothering her. Instead, he often lay beside her, licked her fur, and when there was something good to eat, he let her have it first. He truly had turned into a loyal dog in an instant.

Thinking about how the pet hospital was about to add more kittens and birds, Shen Luo couldn't help but worry. Were they going to keep all these kittens and birds? If they sent away one pair of babies, and kept another, it seemed unfair!

As the weather grew hotter, with spring winds bringing in fresh green and flowers sending their fragrance, the nearby area became more and more lively. At Yujin River Park, one could always see cats and dogs playing and riding, which was really quite a sight.

One sunny spring day, Shen Luo opened the door and let the animals at the hospital bask in the sun outside. It felt incredibly laid-back.

Officer Chen came by again, this time with a dog on a leash.

"Hey, Officer Chen, you've taken an interest in raising a dog now? But this dog looks a bit old!" Shen Luo greeted.

Officer Chen chuckled, but the large black shepherd he was holding looked fierce, totally not matching the cheerful vibe.

After sitting down, the dog didn't sit either. Officer Chen gave an order, as if commanding a soldier, and shouted, "Sit!"

Sure enough, the dog sat up straight.

Shen Luo found it odd because this dog didn't look like an ordinary dog at all. It seemed more like a specially trained police dog. When sitting, its front legs were perfectly upright, giving it a very alert appearance. Its eyes were sharp, and its ears twitched, as if it was constantly on alert, paying attention to every movement around it.

After sitting down, Officer Chen said, "You're right, you can tell right away that this dog is no spring chicken. This is a police dog from our department. He's been working for many years, but he's getting old now, and his reactions aren't as fast as before. So, the department has approved his retirement, and he'll now be taken care of."

"Sounds great! This is a good dog, so he's staying with you now?" Shen Luo, although he had dealt with many dogs, had never had the chance to interact with a police dog before, so he was a little surprised.

Officer Chen shook his head with a smile. "Not exactly. This dog is great, but not just anyone can adopt him. This dog has completed many tough missions and earned quite a few honors. But he also has some injuries. Regular people might not be able to ensure his peaceful retirement, so I suggested to the department to send him here to you."

"Me... here?"

Shen Luo was taken aback. Police dogs were highly sought after. Even retired ones were far more capable than regular dogs, and many influential people would love to adopt one to show off. So, why was it being offered to him?

Officer Chen said, "Of course, I'm not joking around. The main reason is that the department was really impressed with the way you handled that human trafficker case last time. They believe your cats and dogs are different from others', and I heard you're an animal lover who knows a lot about pets. Plus, the pet hospital has professional doctors, so it's a much better fit than most homes. But let me be clear, this dog won't be eating your food or drinking your water. He has a retirement pension, and we'll also send people to check on him regularly until he passes."

"But... I'm sure a lot of people would want to adopt this kind of dog, right?" Shen Luo couldn't help but ask the question that was on his mind.

Officer Chen sighed and lowered his voice. "That's part of the reason. Some of the older folks in the department wanted to adopt him, but giving him to one person would offend others, so rather than causing any conflict, it's better to send him out to you, so no one feels slighted."

Shen Luo finally realized the situation. It seemed that this dog was really popular!
