Since the opening of the pet clinic, Sun Xiaomeng had treated many cats and dogs with terminal diseases. Most of the owners would choose to take them home, which was not wrong. After all, even when humans were terminally ill, their families might decide to give up treatment.
A small number of owners would choose euthanasia to stop their pets from suffering, which was not wrong. After all, surgery might not be successful, especially for cancer. Even if the cancerous tissue was temporarily removed, the cancer cells could metastasize at any time. Even for humans, they might choose not to have surgery after getting cancer and choose conservative treatment.
In contrast, Wu Yue's decision to operate on Little White was more precious. Little White was not a famous dog, but just an ordinary Pekingese. Wu Yue's family was also ordinary, and she was not rich.
Sun Xiaomeng was afraid that Wu Yue would regret the decision she made in a hurry, so she patiently explained the risks of surgery, infection risk, 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 the surgery, Little White might survive, but if not, Little White could only wait for death. She didn't want Little White to die, even if it died painlessly.
Sun Xiaomeng felt that at that moment, Wu Yue didn't treat Little White as a pet, but as a member of her family, a companion who depended on each other for survival.
Every time she saw such an owner, Sun Xiaomeng felt cured, and felt that her work was meaningful. However, such an owner was too rare.
In her work, she came into contact with a lot of negative energy. Some people even left with their pets after being diagnosed with serious diseases, and abandoned the sick pets as soon as they left the clinic …
After listening, Long Xian asked, "Will Wu Yue come here every day in the future?"
"Yes, she should," Sun Xiaomeng replied. "At least until the post-operative infection period is passed, and then Wu Yue can draw urine for it every day."
"I hope Little White will be safe," Long Xian prayed sincerely, "Little White is very lucky to have such a loving owner."
"I hope every pet can meet an owner who loves them." Sun Xiaomeng finished her coffee and rinsed the cup.
"What time is the next appointment?" she asked.
Long Xian checked on the computer, "3 o 'clock."
Hearing that there was still time, Sun Xiaomeng took down her coat from the coat rack and said to her, "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back before 3 o 'clock. If there's an unreserved customer, you … "
"I'll make a call right now!" Long Xian answered immediately, "Sister Xiaomeng, are you going to the Amazing Fate Pet Shop?"
"Okay." Sun Xiaomeng took off her white coat and put on her coat.
"Eh —" Long Xian drawled meaningfully.
"It's not what you think." Sun Xiaomeng faintly smiled, too lazy to explain.
"Oh..." Long Xian lowered her head in disappointment.
Sun Xiaomeng flicked her head. "Don't doze off, and don't play with your phone. I might check on you through the surveillance cameras at any time."
"I know, Sister Xiaomeng! Don't flick my head. I'm not as smart as you. What if I become even more stupid after being flicked? "Long Xian covered the place where she had flicked her head and begged for mercy.
Sun Xiaomeng left the clinic. She was wearing thick clothes today, so she wasn't afraid of the cold wind, but she still walked fast. She used to think that Xinghai was very unusual, but now her mind was almost completely occupied by Richard. This African grey parrot had some kind of magical attraction, and she couldn't help but want to unravel the mystery.
Wu Yue treated Little White as a family member, not a pet dog. Sun Xiaomeng also didn't treat Richard as a pet bird, but as an intelligent creature with logical thinking ability.
She was different from Professor Wei Kang. She was just a veterinarian, not a scientist, not a university professor. She had never thought of using Richard to make any contribution to science. She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity, and she even took the initiative to keep her discovery a secret. Richard was an intelligent creature, and she couldn't bear to treat it like a lab rat or a specimen. As an intelligent creature, it had the right to stay where it wanted to stay, and shouldn't be taken away by anyone.
Walking closer to the pet shop, she saw Guo Dongyue and Zhang Zian standing at the door, talking.
"Good afternoon."
She walked to the side and greeted them.
Because of the noise of the construction, they didn't notice her arrival until she took the initiative to talk.
"Hi, why are you here now?" Zhang Zian asked loudly. Only by doing this could they cover the noise of the construction.
"There are no customers at the moment, so I came out for a walk." She told a small lie, and didn't tell him that she was here to see Richard.
She nodded to Guo Dongyue, and Guo Dongyue also bowed to her.
"How are the two red-headed lovebirds doing?" She knew that Guo Dongyue must be very concerned about this issue.
"Pretty good." Zhang Zian stared at her, as if he could 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.
"Why are you being so secretive?" he asked.
Sun Xiaomeng put on a serious face and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you about what I'm going to say next. Please listen carefully."
"Okay, go ahead."
"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, and I'll think about it," Zhang Zian responded calmly.
Sun Xiaomeng said euphemistically, "Your place is under construction, and the environment is noisy and messy. Can you let Richard stay at my place for the time being?"
"Stay at your place..." Zhang Zian didn't immediately refuse, but asked, "Stay at your house or your clinic?"
"My clinic. It's quiet there, and there are no threats from cats," she answered honestly. "Although I'm not here at night, Long Xian sleeps in the clinic, and she can take care of Richard."
"Why Richard?" Zhang Zian looked straight into her eyes, "Please don't lie to me, and don't treat me like a fool."
She didn't know what to say.
"Because Richard is very close to me." She finally came up with an excuse, "And I like him very much."
"But he's my bird," said Zhang Zian.
"No! He's not anyone's bird! "Sun Xiaomeng retorted," He's an independent individual, an intelligent life! "
Zhang Zian waved his hand, "I don't want to argue with you. You said that Richard is intelligent, so let it decide whether it wants to follow you or stay at my place. What do you think?"
"Really?" Sun Xiaomeng couldn't believe that he agreed so quickly.
"Really." Zhang Zian seemed very serious today.
