The new wooden house in the yard was completed, and the exterior was painted several times with varnish. After the paint was applied, it was left to dry for a few days to dissipate the pungent smell.
The puppy Baoqiu has been at Baozipu for a few days and has been living with people. When Li Youran was away, he slept in Uncle Qi's room.
At night, Uncle Qi often has to stay alone in the bun shop and work the night. Aunt Qi basically doesn't live here. She has to go back to the rental house to be with her son every day.
The new wooden kennel is ready for use. Uncle Qi laid old blankets inside to let Leopard Ball move in.
From then on, Leopard Ball began its solitary life. Despite its small body, it lived in a large wooden house with a pointed roof. The house was placed in the shade near the courtyard gate. It was spacious and comfortable, and had the unique aroma of pine boards.
But the little guy was obviously not used to it. On the first night, everyone went to bed, leaving him alone in the wooden house. He stuck his head out of the round arch hole, looked at the darkness outside, and began to get scared.
Leopard Ball couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran out of the wooden house and shouted loudly in the yard.
“Woof woof…woo…woof woof…woo…”
"This bastard is really annoying, and he won't let anyone sleep."
"That's right, what a loser, we have to get up early tomorrow."
Several employees living in the store started yelling and cursing.
Uncle Qi also heard it, got up from the bed, and walked to the backyard doghouse with a flashlight.
When Leopard Ball saw him, he quickly waggled his tail and came forward to complain.
Uncle Qi knelt down, touched Leopard Thorn's head, and comforted:
"Ju Qiu, you are a wolfdog, how can you be so timid?"
Leopard Ball didn't know if he understood or not, but he just kept thrusting his head into Uncle Qi's hand.
Uncle Qi added water to its water bowl and food bowl, talked with it for a while, encouraged it to be brave, and then left and went back to the house to rest.
Leopard Ball whined for a while, but no one paid any attention to it. Later, he was attracted by the supper in the food bowl and started to enjoy it. He was thirsty and drank the water in the water bowl. The water was sweet, delicious and delicious.
Leopard Qiu's mood improved a little, so he got into the wooden house again and lay down on the blanket.
In this way, after struggling for two nights in a row, on the third day, I slowly got used to it, and Baoqiu was finally able to sleep peacefully in the wooden house.
In the morning, Li Youran drove to the Baozi Shop for work. After getting off the car, he asked Sun Xiaoying to go upstairs first, and then he went to the wooden house to take a look at Leopard Ball's condition.
When Leopard Ball saw him, he ran over and put his two front paws affectionately on his calf, while his tail wagged vigorously.
"Haha, you little thing, are you used to living in a new house?"
Just as he was talking, Uncle Qi came over with food and water to feed the puppies. Hearing Li Youran speak, he immediately said:
"I've been having trouble for two nights and finally stopped. It should be fine in the future." He said as he added water and food to Leopard Ball's bowl.
Leopard Ball smelled the aroma, but still couldn't let go of Li Youran. He continued to be warm with him, rubbing his head against his legs.
"Okay, Leopard Ball, let's go eat first." Li Youran patted its head and pointed at the food bowl.
Leopard Ball whined twice and turned to eat.
"This dog is good, smart, and very adaptable. The big yellow dogs I raised in the countryside before are really not as good as it." Uncle Qi looked at the puppy and said cheerfully.
"Uncle Qi, thank you for your hard work. You still have to look after the dog." Li Youran said.
"If anything, train it well so that it can help me look after the yard. That will save me trouble." Uncle Qi shook his head and said.
"Uncle Qi, can such a small dog be trained?" Li Youran had heard before that it seemed that it took five months for a dog to accept commands.
"Okay, let's teach him some simple things first, such as designated places to defecate. This is easier. Well, let him solve the problem in the tree pit over there."
Uncle Qi said, pointing to the poplar tree in the northeast corner of the yard.
"That's good. Nowadays, many dog owners in the city do not respect ethics and do not consider training their dogs properly. Their dogs poop everywhere, causing a lot of trouble." Li Youran was deeply touched by this matter.
Some time ago, a portal website reported news that there were too many dogs in a residential area, and the dog owners were uneducated and did not clean up in time, leaving dog poop everywhere on the sidewalks and grass. It not only polluted the environment, but also
It also caused many residents to accidentally step on "landmines".
There have even been incidents of dogs biting people.
Those residents who did not keep dogs were naturally very annoyed and kept complaining to the property management company. The property management was just a muddy mess and did not solve the actual problem. As a result, the residents in the community were divided into two camps: the dog camp and the non-dog camp, and they were hostile to each other.
Not long ago, the conflict intensified. Someone put food mixed with rat poison on the grass and bushes of the community at night. As a result, several dogs were poisoned and died.
Dog owners were so sad and angry after losing their dogs that they reported the case to the local police station and requested that the poisoning incident be investigated.
Because no one was hurt, the police station was unwilling to accept the case, causing the dog owners to constantly yell and curse in the community, becoming suspicious and wondering who had committed the murder. This made the relationship between the neighbors even more tense.
It is really sad that a good residential area has been turned into a mess.
Li Youran told Uncle Qi about this incident, and Uncle Qi was filled with sighs after hearing this.
Originally, this is not an irreconcilable conflict. Dog owners should train their babies well. If they have no experience, they can also spend a few dollars to send their dogs to dog schools. Pay attention to tidying up when walking the dogs, and the above-mentioned problems will not occur.
tragedy.
Li Youran was chatting with Uncle Qi when a young man walked out of the building. He was not tall and carrying a bucket in his hand, he walked straight towards Uncle Qi.
When I came over, I saw Li Youran and nodded to him.
"Hello, Boss Li."
"Oh, it's Qi Song, just call Brother Li. Why, it's holiday, come here and help your dad." Li Youran recognized him. He was Uncle Qi's son. He came to the store to help at the beginning of the year, and later after school started
I rarely see him anymore. But he looks stronger than before and seems to be living a good life.
"Haha, I had a vacation at the beginning of the month. I went out to play with my classmates and just came back." Uncle Qi said with a smile.
"Just put the bucket next to the fish pond. The door is unlocked." Uncle Qi turned to Qi Song and said again.
Qi Song hummed and ran to the fish pond carrying the bucket.
"This kid is still so introverted, but he's also honest. Unlike Fang Cheng and Hu Zi, who makes people worry about him. It's time to go to the second year of high school after the holidays, right?" Li Youran asked, looking at Qi Song's back.
.
"Hey, what's the use of being honest? In today's society, honest people have a hard time. Yes, it's time for him to be in the second year of high school at the beginning of school, and he has been helping in the store recently." Uncle Qi said with emotion.
"Okay, let's work here. Work-study is very good. By the way, let him help take care of Leopard Ball. Dog puppies are prone to getting sick, so you need to pay more attention."
After Li Youran finished speaking, he looked at the puppy who was still eating, nodded, and walked to his office.
