Adorable Pet Daily Life Ch. 61

The next morning, Shen Luo went straight to check on the dog. The collie looked a lot better, even licked Shen Luo's hand. When it came time for breakfast, it still ate like someone might take it away at any second.

"So pitiful," Zheng Jiamei said, her voice soft. She was always the most tenderhearted, and scenes like this easily brought her to tears.

The atmosphere at the pet hospital was noticeably heavy because of the collie.

Right then, the mother and son who had adopted Bai Zhuzhu last time showed up.

The mom pushed open the door while the little boy walked in holding Bai Zhuzhu in his arms.

Shen Luo noticed right away—the mother looked way better than before. Her face had color again, and there was even a hint of a smile.

"We brought Zhuzhu in for a bath, and we also need to buy some dog food."

Shen Luo looked over. Bai Zhuzhu had clearly put on some weight, and her fur looked even fluffier than before. It was obvious she was living a good life now.

"Sure thing. Zhuzhu hasn't caused you any trouble, has she?"

The mom laughed. "Not at all. She's really well-behaved—doesn't bark or make a mess."

"That's great. How's she getting along with your son?"

The woman's smile deepened. "They're amazing together. Eat, sleep, everything. Having Zhuzhu around gives me so much peace of mind."

Her son's condition had brought her so much hardship. He didn't understand danger or what was safe. There were times he'd try to open the gas valve on his own, which scared her half to death. She ended up selling the gas tank and switching to an electric stove just to be safe.

But after bringing Bai Zhuzhu home, her son smiled more. He clearly found joy in being with her. The doctor said it was a good sign—autism often needed a bridge like that.

"One time, out of nowhere, he came over and kissed me," she said. Just talking about that moment brought a wave of emotion over her. She never thought her son would ever do something like that on his own.

Shen Luo was touched. That mother and son had already been through so much. If the boy's condition really improved, it'd be the best kind of good news for them.

Pets didn't care if their owner isn't good-looking, or if they have a disability, or autism. What matters to them was whether their owner loved them—whether they cared.

That's what made pets so different from people.

While Bai Zhuzhu was getting her bath, the boy stood quietly nearby the whole time. Wang Wei was a little worried he might suddenly do something unexpected to interrupt, but to his surprise, everything went smoothly. Bai Zhuzhu got washed and blow-dried, and then the boy scooped her up into his arms. She happily licked his face, and he burst out laughing.

"See how great they are together now?" the boy's mom said with a smile.

Zheng Jiamei had already pulled out her camera and secretly snapped a picture of the moment. The boy's face, usually blank and distant, now showed the rare, genuine smile of a child his age—pure and bright.

Shen Luo suddenly felt like everything he'd done so far had been worth it, just for moments like this. Maybe they didn't say sweet things, or know how to express their feelings well—but they had their own way of loving you.

After sending off the mother and her son, Shen Luo was still riding that emotional high of doing something good. When he looked back at the border collie, his feelings shifted—less anger and pity, more determination. He was going to take care of this dog, bring him back to his best self, and then find him a home where he could bring someone joy, maybe even hope.

With the pet hospital staff's care, the collie made great progress. Wang Bo took care of its medical needs, Wang Wei and Xiao Chuan handled its food, and other pets like Ethan and Shun Shun gave it emotional support. The collie recovered quickly.

As the collie got better, the heavy mood that had hung over the pet hospital started to lift.

Then, one day, Shen Luo made a big discovery—inside the grey parrots' breeding box, there were three tiny chicks! Big Beauty and Big Horn had finally become parents!

Shen Luo immediately shared the news with everyone. The whole pet hospital lit up with excitement—even the animals, though not really knowing what was going on, started to get noisy, making the place feel festive.

Big Horn let out a loud string of squawks—he was so happy he clearly didn't know what to do with himself.

He was already five years old, but this was his first time becoming a dad. The moment clearly meant a lot to him.

For once, Shen Luo didn't scold him. He just let Big Horn squawk his heart out and celebrate however he wanted.

Meanwhile, Big Beauty stayed calm and focused. No matter how chaotic things got around her, she remained in the breeding box, carefully watching over her babies.

The good news about Big Horn's babies spread fast—everyone at the clinic had been waiting for this clutch of chicks for a long time.

Shen Luo called the original owners of Big Beauty. The couple showed up after work, skipping dinner just to come by.

While Big Horn and Big Beauty were out eating, Shen Luo quietly brought the couple to see the newborn parrots.

The chicks had only just hatched and were still completely featherless—just tiny, squirming pink blobs with their eyes shut. Honestly, they weren't exactly cute in the traditional sense, but because they were Big Horn's kids, everyone found them adorable.

"So, once they're older, can we take one home?" the man asked hopefully.

"When the time's right, I'll give you a call," Shen Luo replied.

The couple beamed. "That's great news!"

This time, they were fully prepared. No way were they letting their parrot get sweet-talked and stolen by another again.

"Actually, it's better to keep parrots in pairs," Shen Luo added. "With your work schedules—gone during the day, not much time at night—having two parrots would help with the loneliness."

After all, the reason Big Beauty was lured away by Big Horn in the first place was probably just because she was too lonely. Shen Luo figured someone like Big Horn—a total sleazebird—only managed to win her over because she didn't have any better options.

The man perked up. "Then maybe you'll let us have two?"

Shen Luo gave him a look. "Are you kidding? Do you know how in demand Big Horn's babies are? Even the third clutch is already fully booked!"

The man sighed in disappointment. Made sense, really—if it weren't for the fact that Big Beauty used to be their parrot, they wouldn't have stood a chance at getting one, let alone two.
