The Life of a Dog is so Difficult
It wasn"t unreasonable to say that Mother Lu would choose a Samoyed. The pure white hair and the fact that its every expression looked like a smile. Indeed, this angelic smile does not betray its reputation.
Although Samoyeds weren’t a very expensive breed, they were notorious for being mischievous and tearing apart homes. But the soft furball"s high face value made Mother Lu hate to let go of it.
As long as it is raised well, Samoyeds can be said to be beautiful from young to old. Zuo Ning, who is still in the meng stage, probably does not have a deep understanding of his own value. At this time, he was looking at Lu Chenghe with his little head tilted to one side, his mouth unconsciously revealing a small pink tongue and his pitch-black perfectly round eyes sparkling as he looked at the person in front of him..
That well-behaved sitting posture, the fawning paws in his lap, even the hard-hearted Lu Chenghe had to admit that the appearance of this little thing was indeed rather likable.
But looking at such a well-behaved little puppy, Lu Chenghe"s expression did not soften a bit. At most, he disliked this little trouble a bit less. However, facing this little puppy who had just arrived at his side a few hours ago, Lu Chenghe really did not understand what it meant and had to call the steward.
Soon, the steward, who was pushing a small cart, was outside the door. However, Lu Chenghe’s study room was generally not easily entered, even by a steward. To be specific, the cart the steward was pushing at this moment contained the daily necessities of this puppy.
The steward wasn"t able to imagine what the situation would be like if the dog messed around or urinated in the master"s study. Even if Lu Chenghe wasn"t obsessed with cleanliness to the point of making one"s blood boil, he was afraid that it wouldn"t be allowed so he simply just placed a dog toilet, food bowl, and other things in a row to see what the doggy needs.
Seeing that the steward had prepared those things, Lu Chenghe picked up the little puppy by its back and put it on the ground. Zuo Ning who obtained freedom hurriedly ran to the door. The washed and extremely fluffy white fur trembled and fluttered in the air making the wind carry a nice smelling fresh fragrance. The appearance of the small short-legged b.u.t.tocks striding along was liked by both of the two little maids standing outside the door.
It is a pity that this is the master"s pet and that even if they like it, they can"t freely tease it.
Zuo Ning, who has never raised a dog, did not know that there was a dog toilet in this world before he became a dog. A tray big enough for him to roll around several times that was padded below with an absorbent cloth. In the middle of the tray was actually a pillar that was probably specialized for allowing dogs to lift a leg when urinating.
In his limited knowledge, he"d only seen the use of newspaper pads. At this time, he looked at this kind of special equipment one by one. If he couldn"t understand people"s words, he would probably treat this tray as a nest to sleep in and one of those kinds with ventilation.
At this time, the dog directly ignored the toilet that made him shy and went straight to the food bowl. There was prepared dog food softened with goat’s milk in the food bowl. Whether in texture or taste, it was simply enough to upset one"s appet.i.te. However, Zuo Ning, who has lost his human rights, can only accept it. Sure enough, the dog has to bow down under the roof.
Running to the edge of the food bowl, Zuo Ning subconsciously turned and looked back. Seeing the man leaning on the sofa and looking in his direction, he quickly turned around and bitterly began to eat. From the small, curled pink tongue, a few pieces of dog food with the fragrant yet utterly tasteless goat"s milk rolled into his mouth. Unfortunately, the dog’s posterior molars were not very close, so that small dog could sometimes not bite properly at all. He had to open his mouth and use his tongue to push as at times, the food would shift away and he had to use his tongue to push it back.
For Zuo Ning who used to be a human, this way of opening your mouth to eat was really unsightly. But for those who watch him eat, his serious focus and the swaying of his small head from time to time, it was simply meng to the point of flying.
Lu Chenghe, who was sitting on the sofa in the study room, also looked with his tilted for a while. The fat little dog was eating bite by bite very seriously. Unlike other dogs which would happily spill food everywhere as soon as they saw it, this one was clever and clean. Still within his tolerance range, he waved to the steward: "Bring it in." The words of his mother were still in his ear, and if it continues to act in an acceptable manner, he does not mind obeying the mother.
The steward understood quickly, carrying the dog with one hand and the food bowl in his other hand as he entered the study room. The maid next to him quickly took a blanket out from the cart to lay down before the steward puts the dog and food bowl down. The steward thought that the young master wanted the dog to be placed by his feet; he didn"t expect that the young master would actually pat the sofa next to him. Thus, Zuo Ning was forced to return to his original position.
Lu Chenghe thought that the pudgy and foolish little dog didn"t know how to eat so he poked the puppy"s head with his fingertip and pushed it toward the bowl. Zuo Ning stuck his tongue out and licked the fur near his mouth after realizing that the man really wanted him to eat on the sofa of his study room. He had to submit and continued to eat once again. Zuo Ning ate while also quietly moving his body, making sure that he wasn"t facing the man or else he"d feel pressured while eating.
The steward saw that the young master did not reject the puppy"s actions. It seemed that his feelings toward the puppy weren"t bad. Otherwise, no matter how the madam forced the young master, if the young master didn’t want to, he wouldn’t agree. He then smiled and said: "The madam"s eyes are very good. At first glance, she picked up a well-behaved and smart one. After bringing Little Pudding home, it hasn"t been trained yet but it"s smart enough to know where to solve it"s bodily problems and it isn"t overly greedy when eating. Not noisy, not troublesome, and it hasn"t barked loudly yet. If its nature is this well-behaved, after training, it should also be very obedient when it grows up."
Lu Chenghe listened to this and did not refute his claims. Toward this breed that his mother brought back, Lu Chenghe has always had a skeptical att.i.tude. After all, the dog was brought back for two or three days, the environment is still not familiar, and the dog is only two months old. If it"s this small then even if it was noisy, it wouldn"t be able to be that noisy. Only when it grows up will its true nature be revealed.
“Look for a professional dog trainer and also invite a private veterinarian.” said Lu Chenghe. Gazing at Zuo Ning from the beginning, he looked over the dog again and added: "Isn"t it a bit too fat?" When it was on all fours, its stomach was going to touch the floor. This was a Samoyed and not a short legged Corgi, a doggy being too fat could be detrimental to its health.
Zuo Ning was struggling to swallow this dog food as his meal, is he calling me fat? Everyday, he was already eating this badly, but he is still called fat? Do you still want this doggy or not!
This family has never raised a dog. Although the steward has some knowledge about pets these days, he isn"t a professional. The dog in front of him might have a somewhat fat tummy, but aren"t most dogs like this when they"re young? However, since the young master asked him, he couldn"t thoughtlessly answer. In the event that being fat is severely detrimental to the dog"s health, the madam would be extremely heartbroken.
Thus, he dutifully said: "Young master, don"t worry. I will hire someone in this field to come over as soon as possible. If its weight exceeds the acceptable range, an exercise program can be arranged to help it lose weight."
Lu Chenghe nodded and asked: “Is it called Little Pudding?”
The steward quickly explained: "Yes, young master. The madam said that this puppy is white like a bowl of creamy pudding. When this was said, the dog responded by looking at the madam so the name was decided like this."
Zuo Ning, whose entire face was filled with black lines, ate his dog food silently. At that time, he had just accepted his new ident.i.ty. He heard that the wife who was teasing him seemed to be talking about him. He then subconsciously looked up and glanced at her and as a result, this kind of dishonest name was established. Zuo Ning was scared and hurriedly looked down at his legs, only after confirming that he was still a male did he let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Chenghe was expressionless and silent for a few seconds: "Then Little Pudding can just be Little Pudding. If mom likes it then it"s fine."
The steward who heard Lu Chenghe"s words and disliked this name was very quiet and stood to the side. At this time, it was unnecessary for him to express his opinion. Zuo Ning who also heard these words suddenly felt that he was suddenly unable to even eat dog food. Disliking how fat he is and also disliking how ugly his name is, what can he do? Zuo Ning was desperate!
After an unpleasant meal, Zuo Ning was not free. Instead, he was thrown a bone that was just the right size for him to bite. The bone shouldn"t be a real bone and it was releasing a very attractive fragrance. However, it wasn"t easy to bite and every time it was bitten, the fragrance of meat was released but there was absolutely no taste.
Zuo Ning heard the steward mention that this thing was specially made for two month old puppies to bite. The ingredients were also very good, even if they were bitten and eaten, they were completely digestible. At that time, Zuo Ning was sighing. The life of a human really wasn"t as good as a dog"s ah~
Zuo Ning played on the sofa by himself, and the man who read a book all afternoon sat in front of the computer desk. A man and a dog, with the two of them quietly living together, it was quite harmonious. Zuo Ning thought, if in the future, they could continue to get along at this level, then that wouldn"t be too bad.
However, some people only like dogs when they are young as they are softer and cuter. After the dog grows up or they lose the fresh feeling of raising a dog, there are a lot of cases where dogs are thrown away.
In the past, Zuo Ning was somewhat angry with these people"s actions, but in the end, it didn"t matter to him, he didn"t have any deep feelings. He deeply realized what a pa.s.serby dogs are in a human"s life, and that an owner is the only one in a dog’s life..
In between dealing with emails, Lu Chenghe inadvertently glanced at the sofa and saw the dog who was still biting its bone suddenly sit and stop moving. His mood seemed to have fallen and after pausing for a while, he turned off his computer and stood up.
When he heard this movement, Zuo Ning raised his head and looked over. The figure of the man was infinitely magnified until it was right in front of his eyes. He quickly got up and sat down in a well-behaved posture.
Lu Chenghe reached out, placed the dog on the ground, and glanced at it: “Follow.”
Zuo Ning promptly followed behind with his small and short legs, also being careful to maintain the distance between them. Afraid that he would be stepped on if he came too close, he maintained his pace and followed the man until they reached the stairway. The reason for this was that with his current size, if he wasn"t careful when going down this marble flight of stairs, he could roll straight down the stairs.
Lu Chenghe also did not expect these short little legs to be able to go down the stairs by themselves. Although Samoyeds are not a small breed, even if its age is only two months old, its body size shouldn"t be too small but the stairs were still a bit too difficult at the moment. So when Lu Chenghe saw it stop, he naturally reached out and brought it up into his arms.
Zuo Ning, who was only held by this man for a short, short time this afternoon, was shocked. The sudden upgrade in treatment was a little sudden. Only when he was put back on the ground did Zuo Ning let out a big sigh.
Following this man, he turned and turned until his sensitive nose smelled the aroma of human food. Only now did Zuo Ning realize that it turned out to be for a meal. Afterward, the dog"s eyes began to closely follow the bright surroundings and without any moral integrity, he had already began to start calculating in his heart. If he were to sell meng to a man, could he ask for and receive food?
