Chapter 411: A Dog That Doesn’t Need Walking

While waiting to enter the store, Deng Jie and Liu Wenying exchanged some homely words, and teased Yueyue again. She and her husband have no children, so they especially like children and pets. After she entered the store, except for watching the ballet performance of the Abyssinian cat for a while, she spent the rest of the time in front of the dog display case suffering from the pain of choosing difficulty. She also thinks that an Abyssinian cat that can dance ballet is very good, but she knows that she can't afford it, so she just doesn't think about it.

Not only Zhang Zian, but Xiaoxue also noticed Deng Jie. She ran to Deng Jie to help her as an adviser after watching the ballet performance. Just join in the fun.

Zhang Zian walked over, "Sister Deng, which one do you like?"

"Mr. Store Manager, you came just in time! Sister Deng thinks which one is good, and she can't decide, but I'm so worried..." Xiaoxue asked him helplessly.

Zhang Zian said, Deng Jie chooses a pet, why are you so worried!

Deng Jie also smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm not poor. If I have money, I'll buy all the pets here, and open a zoo when I go home. How great it is!"

"Okay, then you want to hire some people who are responsible for shoveling shit, don't forget me." He pointed to his nose and said.

The three laughed.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Wenying also pulled Yueyue over, "Sister Deng, you haven't chosen yet? Let's go to have lunch together when we have chosen. It's rare for us to get together today, so don't go home to eat. Asking your husband to order a takeaway, and looking at his old face all day long, isn't it annoying? Look at me, I'm going out today with Yueyue, and I won't go back until night after playing."

Deng Jie's kindness was hard to turn down, she hesitated for a moment before agreeing, but first she had to choose a pet she liked, otherwise the lunch would have to be moved to the evening...

Zhang Zian waited for the conversation between these women to come to an end, and then interjected and asked, "Sister Deng, are you sure you want to buy a dog now, right?"

Deng Jie nodded, "I want to buy a puppy, clingy, and walk around your feet all day, so I don't feel lonely."

"Puppy?" Zhang Zian keenly grasped this key word.

"Yes, the fake Shiba Inu from before was still a bit big. Our house is narrow and there are so many things. I feel aggrieved when I look at it, and sometimes I can't even turn around..." Deng Jie said with some embarrassment , "I've been looking at puppies before, and I bought this fake Shiba Inu just because it was cheap."

Zhang Zian thought for a while, and then asked, "Then which floor does your house live on?"

"Sixth floor.

"

"Is there an elevator?"

"No." She shook her head, "At first, I thought about it well. After I bought a dog, I would take it for a walk in the community every day, but..." She smiled bitterly, "When I usually go to and from get off work, I go to and from work twice a day. Lou, since I have a dog, I have to add two extra times in the morning and evening. Maybe I am getting older. After a day or two of tossing like this, my back hurts and my legs cramp in the middle of the night... My family, let He doesn’t want to go for a walk, he just sits on the sofa and reads the newspaper when he gets home all day, and he doesn’t know what the newspaper means!”

The more she talked, the more angry she became, "I said him, and he still had a plausible argument. He said that it was the dog I wanted to buy. Of course, I should be in charge of walking it. Tell me about this guy..."

Seeing that the topic was about to turn to complaining about her husband, Liu Wenying hurriedly interrupted: "Living in a high-rise is troublesome for walking the dog. My house has an elevator, and I don't want to go up and down the stairs. I have to change clothes, which is troublesome... I was thinking about this at the time." I just bought a cat."

Deng Jie sighed, "Later, the dog got sick, so I didn't take it for a walk anymore, otherwise, maybe I'd be tired before it fell ill..."

"In other words, you want to raise a puppy that doesn't need to be walked very much?" Zhang Zian asked.

Not only in Binhai City, but in the whole of China, there are still many old communities built 20 or 30 years ago, and a considerable number of residential buildings do not have elevators. It is inconvenient for residents living on the top floor to keep a dog, especially walking the dog every day, which will become a heavy burden after a long time.

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 dogs home with confidence. Like Deng Jie and his wife, they will pass the task of walking the dog to each other, and the final result is to abandon or give away the dog.

It would be fine if there were children who were equally energetic at home, and they could be allowed to walk the dog, but in Deng Jie’s case, there were only her and her husband, two middle-aged men and women at home, and it was really unbearable to go up and down the stairs twice a day. Fortunately, it's autumn and winter. If it's summer, going upstairs will be sweaty.

Zhang Zian asked Deng Jie's heart, she nodded heavily, "Yes! Is there such a dog?"

"Then you can consider this Jingba." Zhang Zian pointed to a pure white Jingba in the display cabinet and said, "Although Jingba is quite common, its commonness also proves that they are adaptable. In fact, Jingba Ba is almost the least demanding of all dogs, you can teach it to use the dog toilet and keep it at home, it doesn’t matter if you go downstairs in a few days.”

"Dog toilet? And this thing?" Deng Jie asked in surprise, "I only know that cats have litter boxes, but this is the first time I've heard of dog toilets. Don't dogs always take them outside to defecate?"

"Of course there is. The purpose of taking the dogs outside is to let them vent their excess energy through exercise, and it's just a matter of passing the toilet." Zhang Zian corrected her misunderstanding.

"Wang Gan! Bring a dog toilet!" He shouted to the outside.

Wang Gan responded, and after a while, a large fenced dog toilet was brought over.

The structure of the dog toilet is very simple, and the price is very cheap. The three sides are pure plastic fences, and the middle is a plastic grid, so that the dog's urine can leak out.

"How does this thing work?" Deng Jie asked curiously.

Zhang Zian put the dog toilet on the ground, opened the display cabinet and took out Jingba, put it on the plastic grid, and explained to Deng Jie: "You should pay more attention to it at the beginning, especially after eating or drinking. Ten minutes after finishing the water, hold it in here, hold on for a while, spend time with it, don’t let it go out unless it urinates in it, and after it finishes urinating, give it some favorite snacks Treat it as a reward. Do it repeatedly like this a few times, it will become a habit, and you can go to the toilet by yourself in the future. By the way, your husband likes to read newspapers, so there must be a lot of waste newspapers in your house, right?"

"Yes! There are a lot! All kinds of newspapers!" Deng Jie said bitterly.

"Then you put a few more layers of newspapers on top of the grid, and when it finishes urinating, roll up the top layer or two layers of newspapers and stuff them into a garbage bag. When you go downstairs at noon the next morning It's very convenient to throw it away by the way, and there's no smell in the room." Zhang Zian said while gesturing.

Deng Jie's heart moved. This is a very good idea. If it works, it will save the need to take the dog downstairs to defecate 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 that require very little exercise. Other dogs are not suitable. Even Chihuahuas that are smaller than Jingba need outdoor exercise once or twice a day." Zhang Zian reminded.

In fact, not only middle-aged men and women living in high-rise buildings without elevators like Deng Jie, but also otaku men and women who stay indoors all day and don’t even want to leave the house. If you want to keep a dog by force, Jingba is almost the only right choose.

"Let's talk about Jingba itself." Zhang Zian picked up this Jingba and asked Deng Jie to take a closer look. "Although there are many Jingbas on the street outside, most of them are skewers. Pure Jingbas are not very common."

The biggest feature of Jingba is the teeth. The tip of the nose is almost at the same level as the eyes. The wet eyes are big and round, and they look very energetic. The fur on its body is very long and soft to the touch. It needs to be brushed once every two days, otherwise it may become knotted. On the contrary, the frequency of bathing is very low, once a month is enough, especially if it is kept indoors when.

Deng Jie took the Pekingese puppy and held it carefully in her arms. Little Jingba stared at her with rounded eyes, sticking out his tongue to lick the tip of his dark nose from time to time.

"Your neighborhood is relatively old, so burglaries happen occasionally, right?" Zhang Zian asked.

"That's right, the thieves in the neighborhood lost everything!" Deng Jie hated it as soon as she talked about it, "If I didn't have money, I would have moved out a long time ago."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Zian introduced without losing the opportunity: "Although Jingba is small, it is a very good watchdog. If I didn’t find it, it would also bark loudly, enough to scare the thieves away, completely different from those Samoyed huskies who greeted the thieves with a smile on their faces.”

There are several old-fashioned communities near Qiyuan Pet Store, and thefts often occur. He has heard many cases of thieves being scared away by small dogs such as Jingba Chihuahuas, but it is the large dogs that are thrown away. It is often not useful, and when the thief takes the property and leaves, he will go to see off the guests.

After hearing this, Deng Jie was even more shaken in her heart. Wouldn't it be icing on the cake if buying a puppy can not only relieve boredom for myself and my husband, but also take care of the home and the yard and protect the safety of the family property?

Liu Wenying persuaded from the side: "Sister Deng, I think you don't hesitate, just get it! This Jingba is tailor-made for your family, so why hesitate? Don't say it's you, I'm so moved. If it weren’t for my family already having a Siamese, I might have bought a Pekingese back home!”

Deng Jie finally overcame the difficulty of choosing for the time being, gritted her teeth and made a decision: "Okay, that's it!"
