Chapter 64: Buying a Dog
Speaking of buying pets, Zhu Ziqing is also excited. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When the living conditions are good, pets will gradually enter everyone's life. It can be used as the emotional sustenance of the left-behind elderly and become a playmate for children...... Many affectionate people even treat their pets as part of the family.
Of course, because of improper pet keeping, it has also caused a lot of incidents. I won't go into them all here. It can only be said that civilized pets are kept away from brain-dead.
In his previous life, Zhu Ziqing always wanted to have a pet, but at that time, he was hungry and full, and he had no energy to take care of his pets. In this life, if you have the conditions, it is not a good thing to raise one.
He stays at home every day, and when he has a pet, he has one more thing to do. Lest you become too obsessed with studying and lose track of time.
Just do it, and the two of them got dressed and went out at the moment. I originally wanted to go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market, where there are all kinds of pets, and there is a lot of room for choice. Later, I thought about it and searched for a high-end pet store on the Internet.
It's not that they don't look down on the flowers, birds, fish and insects market, and feel that they lose their identity to go there. Rather, the situation does not allow it.
Zhu Ziqing is a celebrity, and there is a high probability of being recognized. Although Lin Baoer is low-key, Lin Beier is a big star, and the two sisters look exactly the same, so it is easy to be mistaken for Lin Beier.
And although Lin Baoer is low-key, her fame is not small at all. The strong woman who is in charge of the Skynet Group, the proper royal sister Fan is the heart of Gate to countless people.
There are a lot of people in the flower, bird, fish and insect market, and it will be very troublesome to be recognized. Not to mention buying a pet, it is estimated that it is difficult to even walk.
The more upscale pet stores have fewer people, and it is not a big problem to be recognized.
Following the navigation, I found a pet store with a good reputation. After getting out of the car and going in, I found that it was indeed quite high-end, and I didn't say anything about decoration. The clerks here are all handsome men and women, and there are special pet doctors. It looks very professional.
As soon as Zhu Ziqing and the others entered the door, someone came to receive them, and then they were recognized unsurprisingly. After a group photo and signing, it can be regarded as stopping.
But it was just to not harass them, many people followed the two all the time, and kept taking pictures with their mobile phones. Zhu Ziqing was also helpless about this situation. You can't even let the onlookers watch.
"Mr. Zhu, Ms. Lin, what kind of pet do you want? Most pets can be provided in our store. Some stores that are not available can also be coordinated from other places. The waiter dutifully introduced.
Star chasing is a hobby, and work is life. Most people can tell the difference.
"Yes, what kind of pets are easy to raise and caring?" Zhu Ziqing asked while casually looking at the pets in the cages around him.
When he arrived at the pet store, he realized how wide the hobbies of people are now. He can understand dogs, cats, fish, etc., what the hell are the snakes, spiders, lizards, and some strange animals that can't recognize what they are?
Is it really okay to take these things back and raise them?
"The most common and best to have are definitely cats and dogs, and they are also the most intimate pets. Most of the others have their own advantages and disadvantages. If Mr. Zhu doesn't have any special hobbies, I suggest choosing these two. The waiter thought for a moment and said.
Ordinary customers will definitely not answer like this, and sometimes they will deliberately induce customers to buy some strange and expensive pets. But she still doesn't dare to pit a celebrity like Zhu Ziqing.
And no matter how you say it, they are half of Zhu Ziqing's fans, how can they pit idols.
"What do you think?" Zhu Ziqing also leaned towards these two, he had no special fetishes and was not interested in strange pets. But I still asked Lin Baoer's opinion.
"Forget about cats, you can't raise them. The dog is a little better. Lin Bao'er thought for a while and said.
"I also think it's better to have a dog. There has always been a saying in the pet circle that dogs are not poor and cats are not rich. The waiter offered to help with advice:
"A dog will not betray as long as its owner treats it well. Cats are different, they don't listen to their owners much, they want their owners to play with them, and they want to eat and drink well, and once they are not good to them, they are easy to be taken away by others. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Ziqing was also surprised. Just now, Lin Baoer also said that cats are not familiar, what he said should be the same thing, right?
Lin Bao'er gave him an affirmative look.
Zhu Ziqing sighed that life is really full of knowledge. It's not that they said that he really didn't know that cats had such characteristics.
"Then buy a dog. Do you have any better breed recommendations?" Zhu Ziqing no longer hesitated, and finally chose the best friend of mankind.
"There are many types of dogs, including large dogs, medium-sized dogs, and small dogs, so which size do you want?" the waiter explained.
"What is the standard for body size?" asked Lin Bao'er from the side.
"Hmm. The waiter is not very clear about the specific data, but as a veteran employee, there is still a set of very popular identification methods: "Small dogs are sausages, poodles, and teddies." Medium-sized are huskies, satsumas, and bull terriers, and earth dogs are also medium-sized dogs. Large dogs are Tibetan mastiffs and Alaska. ”
"I would advise that it is better not to have large dogs, the danger is not easy to take care of. It is especially inconvenient in large cities. The waiter added at the end.
Zhu Ziqing nodded, indicating that he understood. He really doesn't like Tibetan mastiffs, he's seen big dogs. When walking the dog, no one can hold it, and those who don't know think it's a dog walking people.
"Which body shape do you think is good?" Zhu Ziqing asked for the hostess's opinion.
"I don't have a problem with that. This dog is mainly taken care of by you, just follow your own ideas. Lin Baoer smiled. She is so busy every day that her feet don't even touch the ground and she doesn't have time to take care of her husband, so how can she have time to take care of her pets.
"Oh well. Zhu Ziqing nodded, thought for a while and said, "I always feel that small dogs are too squeamish, so choose a medium-sized dog." What's a better dog breed?" The last sentence was addressed to the waiter.
The waiter didn't ask about the price, and the two were not bad at all. She has also received such customers, as long as the pet is satisfied, the price is not a problem at all.
"We have huskies, Samoyeds, Labradors, Shar Pei ...... here," the waiter said as he led the two to the dog area and pointed to the cages.
This pet shop is really upscale, with rows of pet dogs in cages. You can see all the dog breeds you can see here.
"Forget about the husky, the IQ is too low, and the nickname is gone. I'm not afraid to lose it, I'm afraid that you won't see it well and tear down your home. Lin Baoer reminded in time.
Looking at the stupid and cute little ha in the cage, Zhu Ziqing wisely skipped it. He keeps a pet because he wants to find a playmate, but he doesn't want to find an uncle to go back.
"Satsuma is not good, although the IQ and appearance are good, but the white fur is easy to get dirty. I don't have that much time to bathe it. Zhu Ziqing also began to use the elimination method to select dog breeds according to his current situation.
"Pit bulls, it's fierce when you hear the name, don't. ”
"Whippet, this dog looks so thin that he doesn't like ......"
"Tyumen dogs, they seem to be Japanese dogs, right? Why don't you find a better Chinese pastoral dog to raise?" ”
The two of you say a word to me, and say that each precious dog breed is worthless. The waiters are a little helpless, rich people don't care about money, but they are also picky.
"Hey, what kind of dog is this?" Zhu Ziqing suddenly stopped in front of a cage and pointed to one of the dogs inside.
"This is the Border Collie, native to the Scottish Border region, and is currently the smartest dog breed in the world. Seeing that Zhu Ziqing finally became interested in a dog, the waiter immediately came to his senses:
"This dog is intelligent, learnable, understanding, easy to train, good at communicating with humans, gentle, loyal, obedient, and its loyalty can be described as shadowy.
Because of its gentle and loyal personality and does not bark, it is especially suitable for raising in the city. Moreover, the Border Collie is also the most competitive dog breed of Frisbee Dog, and it is the protagonist of the Frisbee Dog World Cup competition over the years. ”
In order to make this business, the waiter can be said to have praised the dog to the sky. But anyone who knows anything about canines knows that she's not all nonsense.
The border herding is indeed the most intelligent dog breed, gentle by nature, easy to adjust, and easy to raise. The main thing is that this kind of dog is very good-looking.
At least Zhu Ziqing was very satisfied with the appearance of the dog in front of him.
She has a beautiful body shape and beautiful hair. The ears and eyes are black, the forehead and nose bridge are white, the chest and neck hair are also white, and the back is black. The four paws and the tip of the tail are also white, giving the impression of four hooves stepping on snow.
"That's good. Zhu Ziqing nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Lin Bao'er: "What do you think?"
Speaking of which, a dog is just an animal, and many times it is even put on the table. But dogs that are kept as pets are given a different meaning, and they will have feelings after a long time.
This is also the reason why Zhu Ziqing is always asking Lin Baoer's opinion. The family 'addition' is such a big thing, and it must be communicated with the hostess.
By the way, complain about those dog slaves, even if your own dog is regarded as your own son, it doesn't matter, and no one will say anything. If someone else touches your son, you destroy his whole family, and that is also a matter of the law.
But others ate dog meat, and a group of dog slaves were there, barking like the eighteenth generation of their ancestors who had been killed. Asking others to treat dogs as ancestors is really a bad pen.
"I also think it's good, I can buy one and go back and give it a try. "For this pet that has a good appearance and IQ, Lin Baoer also likes it very much.
"That's it. Seeing that Lin Baoer had no opinion, Zhu Ziqing said to the waiter: "This is only a little big, I want a dog baby." ”
The dog in the cage is more than a foot tall, it should be a few months old, and it must have been trained by others. Zhu Ziqing wanted a puppy and trained it himself.
It's not that he has any special psychological problems and is unwilling to take over the half-grown dog, but since he wants to raise it, he will be thorough, and it must be a different experience to bring it from a small hand to a big one.
This is also the accumulation of experience in pet ownership. In the future, if you write a book or something, you will need this knowledge.
In fact, it is best for ordinary people to buy a pet dog half the size. Too small to get sick and not easy to feed. And habits such as pooping, peeing, and walking the dog have to be taught little by little. Ordinary people either don't have the time, or they don't have the patience to do so.
The most basic things for half-grown dogs have been taught, and it can be used to a little bit when you buy it back, which can save a lot of trouble. And such a big dog also has a certain moldability, which can be adjusted according to their own habits.
The waiter was also very happy to see that the business was done, and walked quickly to the side and pulled over a small cage: "It just happened that a two-month-old cub just entered a few days ago, and the appearance is similar to this one." It's this one, you see if it's okay. ”
Zhu Ziqing looked at it carefully, the little milk dog's coat was black and white, and his chubby and cute appearance was very cute. Lin Bao'er didn't have a cute puppy, walked to the cage and squatted, stretched out his fingers and teased.
The puppy was not afraid of life at all, and stretched out her pink tongue to lick her white fingers a few times. The amused Lin Baoer giggled.
"That's it. "What else can Zhu Ziqing say.
Business is done, and the owner of the pet shop that has just disappeared reappears. said that he refused to accept money, but made a request to hang a photo with the two in the pet store.
With such an obvious advertisement, Zhu Ziqing naturally refused without hesitation. He didn't lack the money. If you know the owner of this shop, or know him as a person, forget it.
In case the person has other problems, but the time is more than worth the loss. Zhu Ziqing is a person who cherishes feathers and will not do such a short-sighted thing.
The boss was disappointed, but also knew that his purpose could not be achieved and disappeared again.
When I paid the bill, I realized that the dog actually cost 5,000 oceans. At this price, Zhu Ziqing was also smacked. Pets are a luxury.
The waiter noticed Zhu Ziqing's surprise and explained the reason for the high price. The market price of the border herding cubs is around three thousand. But it is easy to buy fake ones on the market, and there is no after-sales service.
Their shop is different, and it is guaranteed to be a pure-blooded border herd. As for the one Zhu Ziqing bought, there is a detailed pedigree certificate, which can be traced back to which dog the parents and grandparents were.
And Zhu Ziqing's dog also has a unique identity certificate, and their pet store can also handle a pedigree certificate or something if the match is successful in the future. These certificates are networked and there is a dedicated website to consult.
By the way, this little milk dog is a female dog. As for why you don't buy a male dog, think about some videos posted on the Internet, and you can know what those male dogs have done during their estrus. Needless to say.
In addition to the pedigree guarantee, there are many supporting after-sales services. For example, there will be a professional veterinarian who will come and teach them to be qualified to take care of the domesticated dog.
If the owner doesn't have time, you can also leave it here. As long as you have the invoice, you can store it for free for a certain period of time every month. There are also pet baths, vaccinations and so on.
Zhu Ziqing quickly experienced these things introduced by the waiter. After completing all the formalities, the waiter led them to a special room. Here, the veterinarian teaches a lot of tips on how to keep a pet.
Zhu Ziqing, who listened, was dizzy, and he didn't finish talking about it yet. Before leaving, the doctor handed him a CD-ROM and a book, which contained more detailed and specific ways to raise a dog. You can do some research when you go back.
Walking out of the pet store, Zhu Ziqing held the puppy in his hand and said with emotion: "I didn't expect to be so particular about raising a dog, I think my mother didn't raise me so meticulously when I was a child." ”
"Poof. Lin Bao'er was amused.
