WashijaIt All Adds Up
No wonder her pet never barked or cuddled with her. He stopped playing fetch and hated dog food. It all makes sense now. The vet also told her that these fox cubs have a distinct smell which they carry everywhere with them and it grows fouler as they grow up. Thankfully her fox was not there yet. It didn’t smell bad.
What Now?
Wang looked at the vet with a thousand questions in her mind. But she didn’t say anything. Her main concern at this point was what to do next? She loves her pet but she doesn’t know how to care for it, not in the way it demands to be cared for.
A Suggestion
The vet suggested Wang give her fox to the zoo. That way it will be in an environment which it’s more familiar with and she wouldn’t have to worry about caring for a wild animal. As sane as this suggestion sounds, Wang didn’t like it. She didn’t want to give her pet away even if it is not a dog. Wang thanked the vet and got up to leave.
Leaving For Home
Wang left the vet’s office feeling heartbroken. Because despite the truth, it was still her pet and she was attached to it now. How is she supposed to just give the animal away? She has had it at her home for almost a year now and it didn’t take long for Wang to love the fox. Granted she loved it when she didn’t know that its a fox. But nothing has changed for her even now.
Making A Decision
Wang knew she is being stubborn but she decided to keep the fox, even when her judgment was telling her otherwise. She knew she can’t care for a wild animal, but she just couldn’t bring herself to give it away. Wang decided to change its diet and give it chicken and other kinds of meat for now. She also went as far as allowing it to sleep outside, hoping it will make it feel at home.
No Change
Despite Wang’s attempt to keep the fox and make it feel at home, she could tell her efforts are going to waste. The fox mostly kept to itself and sometimes didn’t even come inside the house. Wang had a feeling that her keeping the fox made it unhappy and even though she did everything in her power to make it feel at home, it was not working.
