Chapter 153
Shi Wen, "Good boy, so well-behaved!"
Shi Wen took out some jerky from his pocket and fed one to each dog.
The dogs were even happier, their little tails wagging like whirlwinds.
Shi Wen people touching this one, and that one.
The puppies' fur hasn't shed yet, and it's much softer than that of ordinary dogs; you can feel the soft subcutaneous fat beneath their fur with a gentle touch.
Shi Wen scratching Miao Wa's chin. You really have to pet a dog early on; once you miss that window, it just doesn't feel the same.
After gathering them together, Shi Wen turned to Sikewell and said, "Alright, you can come over and check them and give them their injections now."
Sikewell walked over carrying a medicine box. "These are the four puppies?"
Before Sikewell could finish speaking, Shi Wen suddenly felt his hand touch nothing at all.
He looked down and saw four dogs running off in four different directions.
Shi Wen paused, meeting their wary gazes. "What are you doing? Come here right now."
Miao Wa, its short tail held high, barked, "Woof!"
Sikewell couldn't help but chuckle at the wary little dogs. "They can't be this young and already know how to be afraid of doctors, can they?"
Shi Wen, "Maybe the big dog taught them, or maybe they smelled the injection or medicine."
Sikewell: "Anything is possible. Bring this little yellow and white dog over first; it looks the most intelligent. Hold it down, and the other puppies should behave."
Shi Wen looked at Miao Wa, smiled, and reached out to catch it.
Unexpectedly Miao Wa had already sensed the danger and ran away on her short legs.
Shi Wen reached out to grab it, it nimbly avoided his Shi Wen, and for a moment, Shi Wen really couldn't catch it.
Shi Wen, not believing in evil, ran two steps forward, intending to catch Miao Wa.
Miao Wa ran in circles, barking loudly as if she were about to kill a dog.
Xing Wa and the others joined in the wailing, their cries filled with pitiful sorrow.
For a moment, the ranch was filled with the pitiful howls of puppies, still in their babyish voices, "Woof-woof--" "Woof-woof--"—even the slaughter of pigs couldn't have made them howl as pitifully as they did.
Sikewell, who was watching from the side, couldn't stop laughing.
Shi Wen quite embarrassed, Shi Wen strode forward, scooped Miao Wa into his hand, grabbed its front paws, and supported its rear. "I haven't done anything to you yet, why are you screaming so pitifully?"
Miao Wa barked loudly, "Woof--"
Shi Wen sighed and rubbed its little belly, saying to Sikewell, "Let's finish this quickly, or it'll start making a huge fuss."
Sikewell walked over with a smile, took a deworming pill from the first-aid kit, and fed it to Miao Wa.
The deworming pills were meat-flavored. After eating them, Miao Wa licked her lips and stopped barking.
Well, another little glutton.
After it calmed down, Sikewell gave it an injection.
Dogs aren't actually that sensitive; once you calm them down, they won't be in much pain.
Sikewell administered the injection without any problems.
Shi Wen gently placed it on the ground and gave it a nudge on the bottom. "Go play."
Miao Wa licked her lips, walked over quietly, and gently rubbed against Shi Wen's leg.
After Miao Wa betrayed them, the other puppies were suspiciously captured, examined, and then given deworming meatballs.
The deworming meatballs tasted great, and the worms stopped barking. The subsequent vaccinations went very smoothly.
Sikewell laughed uncontrollably at the sight, "Why are all your puppies so cute? Who taught them that?"
Shi Wen sighed, "They probably learned it from An Wa. They're not clever when they should be, but they're all cleverer than the last when they shouldn't be."
Sikewell disagreed. "What do you mean they're not clever? These puppies are smarter than they weigh. I've lived in the pastoral area for so many years and seen so many puppies, and I've never seen a dog more clever than yours. Don't belittle me while praising me."
Shi Wen laughed, "You saw right through me?"
Sikewell: "That's right. I don't know how you picked your puppies. The first batch was already so clever, and now the new ones are just as clever."
Shi Wen, "I can't share my experience with everyone; the little ones in my family brought these back themselves."
Sikewell knew a little about his family's affairs, and could only say, "You're really lucky!"
Shi Wen readily agreed, without a hint of embarrassment, "Thank God."
Chapter 153
The horses are in good health and their pregnancy is progressing well.
They are very lively and wild. Even with babies, they still run and jump as they please, not caring at all about the babies in their bellies.
It's also possible that they're too early in the pregnancy to show, and they're completely unaware that they have a baby inside them.
Shi Wen we've been feeding them a lot of good food lately, and they're more energetic and running around more happily, often racing each other in the pasture.
It's only because Shi Wen's ranch is big enough that they have plenty of space to run around; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to run at all in another place.
The horses themselves didn't care, but they couldn't help but worry Shi Wen, and even specially asked Sikewell to come and see.
Sikewell followed him to the pasture to observe his herd of horses, and said in surprise, "The horses are in great condition, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them, what are you worried about?"
Shi Wen looked at the horses and asked, "Won't they lose their babies running around like this every day?"
Sikewell laughed, "Don't worry, horses aren't that fragile. They're naturally good at running. Besides, wild horses outside face so many predators and have to run for their lives every day, yet they don't lose their foals. Your horse can run around freely, how could it possibly lose its foal?"
Shi Wen hesitated and said, "I saw in the group chat that the horse breeders said it might shed."
Sikewell: "That's because they used frozen semen from outside, and their horses aren't as robust as yours. Besides, if it's the kind of baby that could be miscarried at any moment, its quality isn't high to begin with, so there's no need to force it to stay."
