Chapter 287: Go or Stay

Since the opening of the pet clinic, Sun Xiaomeng has treated many terminally ill cats and dogs. Most of the owners would choose to take them home. treat.

A small number of owners will choose to euthanize their pets to prevent them from continuing to suffer. This cannot be said to be wrong. After all, the operation may not be successful, especially for cancer. Even if the cancerous tissue is temporarily successfully removed, the cancer cells may transfer at any time. Even human beings may choose not to have surgery after getting cancer, and to treat them conservatively.

In contrast, Wu Yue decided to operate on Xiaobai, which seemed even more commendable. Xiaobai is not a famous dog, but an ordinary Pekingese. Wu Yue's family background is also ordinary, not some local tyrant.

Sun Xiaomeng was afraid that she would regret the decision she made hastily, so she took the trouble to explain to her the risks of surgery, the risk of infection, the risk of complications, and the high cost of surgery and postoperative care.

Wu Yue didn't say much, but said slowly and firmly that she chose surgery - after surgery, Xiaobai might survive, if not, Xiaobai would have to wait to die. She didn't want Xiaobai to die, not even a painless death.

Sun Xiaomeng felt that Wu Yue didn't treat Xiaobai as a pet at that moment, but as a member of the family, a companion who depended on each other.

Every time he saw such a master, Sun Xiaomeng felt cured and felt that his work was meaningful, but such masters were too rare.

In her work, she is more exposed to negative energy. Some people even take their pets away after they are diagnosed with serious illnesses, and abandon the sick pets as soon as they leave the clinic...

After listening to it, Long Xian asked, "Then Wu Yue will come every day in the future?"

"Yes, I should." Sun Xiaomeng replied, "At least until the postoperative infection period passes safely, then Wu Yue can pump urine for it every day."

"I hope Xiaobai will be safe and sound." Long Xian prayed sincerely, "Xiaobai is very lucky to meet such a loving owner."

"I hope every pet can meet an owner who loves them." Sun Xiaomeng finished his coffee and rinsed the cup.

"What time is the next customer with an appointment?" she asked.

Long Xian checked on the computer, "3 o'clock."

As soon as Sun Xiaomeng heard that there was still time, she took off her coat from the coat rack and said to her, "I'm going out for a while, and I'll be back before 3 o'clock. If there are customers who haven't made an appointment, you can..."

"I'll just call!" Long Xian rushed to answer,

"Sister Xiaomeng, are you going to Qiyuan Pet Shop?"

"Yeah." Sun Xiaomeng took off her white coat and put on a coat.

"Hey——" Long Xian elongated his voice meaningfully.

"It's not what you think." Sun Xiaomeng smiled faintly, not bothering to explain.

"Oh..." Long Xian lowered his head in disappointment.

Sun Xiaomeng flicked her head, "Don't take a nap, and don't play with your phone, I may check the post through surveillance at any time."

"I got it, Sister Xiaomeng! Don't flick my head. I'm not as smart as you. What if I get even more stupid?" Long Xian begged for mercy, clutching the spot she hit.

Sun Xiaomeng left the clinic. Today she was dressed thickly and was not afraid of the cold wind, but she still walked quickly. She used to think that Xinghai was very unusual, but now her mind is almost completely occupied by Richard. There is some kind of wonderful attraction in this African gray parrot, which makes her unable to help but want to solve the mystery.

Wu Yue regards Xiaobai as a family member rather than a pet dog, and Sun Xiaomeng does not regard Richard as a pet bird, but an intelligent creature with logical thinking ability.

She is different from Professor Wei Kang, she is just a veterinarian, not a scientist, not a university professor, she has never thought of using Richard to make any contribution to science, she just simply satisfies her own curiosity, and even actively keeps secrets Discovered and told others. Richard was an intelligent being, and she couldn't tolerate being treated like a guinea pig or a stuffed animal. As an intelligent creature, it has the right to be where it wants, not to be forcibly taken away by anyone.

As she approached the pet store, she saw Guo Dongyue and Zhang Zian talking at the door of the store from a distance.

"good afternoon."

Stepping aside, she greeted them.

Because of the loud construction noise, they didn't notice her coming until she spoke up.

"Okay, why are you running here now?" Zhang Zian asked loudly, the only way to cover up the noise of construction.

"There are no customers for the time being, so I will go out for a walk." She told a little lie, not saying that she came to see Richard specially.

She nodded to Guo Dongyue, and Guo Dongyue also returned the salute.

"How are the two red-faced parrots learning?" She knew that Guo Dongyue must also be very concerned about this issue when he came here.

"It's pretty good." Zhang Zian stared at her, as if he had read her mind, and said meaningfully: "You didn't come here to ask this, did you?"

Sun Xiaomeng blushed, apologized to Guo Dongyue, and pulled Zhang Zian aside.

"What's so mysterious?" he asked.

Sun Xiaomeng raised her face and said seriously: "What I'm going to say next is not joking with you, please listen carefully."

"Okay, tell me."

"Do you know how smart Richard is?" she asked.

Zhang Zian thought for a while, "Probably very smart."

"As smart as a human being," she emphasized, "so I have a request."

"Tell me, I'll think about whether to agree." Zhang Zian responded calmly.

Sun Xiaomeng said tactfully: "You are under construction here, and the environment is noisy and chaotic. Can you let Richard live with me first during this time?"

"I'm going to live with you..." Zhang Zian didn't immediately deny it, but asked instead: "I'm going to live in your house, or in your clinic?"

"My clinic is relatively quiet, and there is no threat from cats." She answered truthfully, "Although I am not there at night, Long Xian sleeps in the clinic, and she will help take care of her."

"Why is it Richard?" Zhang Zian looked directly into her eyes, "Please don't lie to me, and don't take me for a fool."

She was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Because Richard is close to me." She managed to come up with a reason. "I like it too."

"But it's my bird." Zhang Zian said.

"No! It's not anyone's bird!" Sun Xiaomeng retorted, "It's an independent individual, an intelligent life!"

Zhang Zian waved his hand, "I don't want to quarrel with you, how about this, you say Richard is wise, then let it decide, whether to follow you or stay with me, how about it?"

"Really?" Sun Xiaomeng couldn't believe that he agreed so happily.

"Really." Today Zhang Zian seemed to be very serious.
