# Love that can't be thrown away: When a dog is pregnant
## Description:
At this extraordinary time, my family is faced with a difficult choice: my dog, or the baby that is about to be born? It was a heartbreaking choice, but it was also a reality that I had to face in my life.
## Body:
Hello everyone, my name is Li Qing, I am 28 years old this year, and I have been married to my husband Wang Kai for three years. We both worked for an internet company and were doing pretty well. Recently, I just found out that I was pregnant, and I was excited and nervous, and I was still thinking about how to tell my loved ones at home.
However, things turned out unexpectedly. It all started the moment I told my parents. That day, our family was having dinner at home, and I excitedly said, "Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant!" As soon as the words fell, a complicated expression appeared on my mother's face. Great, daughter, you're finally going to be a mom! But...... You still have that dog at home, right? Ah, my heart sank at once.
I know that the dog is a golden retriever that I have kept for almost five years, and his name is "Beibei", and he is not only our pet, but also my family. Hearing my parents' words, I not only felt questioned, but also a sense of powerlessness.
As the discussion deepened, the parents' worries became more and more obvious. They proposed that either reconsider Beibei's stay or create a safer environment for the soon-to-be-born baby. My heart tightened, do I really want to choose one of the between? Such a cruel choice!
That night, I couldn't sleep, and my mind kept thinking about my parents' advice. Bei Bei has always been with me, from the time I am alone to now having a family, and it has witnessed every important moment for me. When I come home every day and see it greet me with its tail wagging, it really fills my heart with warmth. However, what my parents said also made sense, and I was indeed a little worried about the impact of Beibei on the baby.
Just as I hesitated, Babe seemed to sense my emotion, and lay quietly at my feet, her eyes showing concern. I touched its head, but I had mixed feelings. Suddenly, as if it understood our conversation, it slowly got up, walked to the bathroom, and hid in itself. Seeing its aggrieved appearance, I was even more heartbroken.
"Bebe, don't ...... like that," I muttered to myself, feeling like my heart was torn apart. I don't know why, but I feel like this dog is also grieving for his fate. Even if it was silent, but in that moment, I could feel its loss.
I tried to walk to the bathroom door and saw it curled up in a ball, looking gloomy. At that moment, I really didn't want to let it go, it felt like I was letting go of the softest part of my heart. Many people may think that dogs are just animals, and there is no need to be so entangled. But for me, Beibei is no longer a simple pet, it is a part of my life, my friend, and my spiritual sustenance.
A few days later, I had a long talk with my parents again. They still hold their point, but I try to explain to them the importance of Bebe in the hope that they will understand my feelings about it.
I said, "Mom and Dad, Beibei was brought up by me, it is really docile, and it will not hurt the baby." Also, I will work hard to train it to ensure that the dog and baby can get along safely. I pleaded, lest there be a hint of wavering in my voice.
After some arguments, my parents finally relented and decided to let me try again. Despite their hearts, they still have concerns about Beibei's company. But I knew that this decision was a turning point in my life, and since I chose to keep the dog, it meant going the extra mile to take care of him and the baby that was coming.
In the days that followed, I started to do some professional dog training courses to enhance Babe's obedience. My colleagues also gave me a lot of useful advice, and many of them shared their experiences of living with dogs and children. Slowly, I became confident in all of this.
However, time flew by and my belly kept bulging. This time is a happy and busy time, in addition to work, there are various preparations for the new life. My relationship with Beibei grew stronger. Every day I walk with him, chatting softly with him about his future baby and imagining what kind of friendship they will form with each other.
Finally, the baby came into the world on a sunny day. When I hugged her tightly and felt the warmth, my heart was full of gratitude. But at this moment, I suddenly thought of Beibei.
So, I carefully put the baby aside and let Babe come over, and our eyes met in the air. Looking at its curiosity about the baby, the warm feeling in his heart spreads. Bei Bei gently touched the crib with her nose, and it seemed to be full of curiosity and kindness for this new life.
At this moment, I finally understood that Beibei is my family, and as an owner, I have the responsibility to let it live with the baby. It's not a choice, it's a journey together.
In the days that followed, I worked hard to integrate Beibei into our new life. To make it adapt, I began to gradually merge the activities of the two. Every time Bei Bei lies next to the baby, my heart swells with emotion. I know that this dog is also pampering my child in his own way, with love.
Perhaps, every family will face choices and trade-offs, the key is how to balance, some love is inseparable, and what we can do is to try to be tolerant and understanding. Under the same sky, let the love continue.
