"I understand that the two children really like Lil Potato, but if he’s constantly switching between environments, he'll feel like he’s being abandoned. After all, he doesn't understand what humans are talking about and won’t know that he'll only be staying with one of his owners for a short while.”
"It's highly likely that he'll think he's been abandoned by one of his owners when you move him into another environment.”
"Is that so..." Munchkin's previously ecstatic expression immediately vanished.
I did not want to be a party pooper either, but when I took into account the condition of the house and my health, it did not seem like a wise choice to adopt a pet.
Moreover, since Tina liked Lil Potato so much, I was tempted to get Munchkin to give up on trying to adopt him.
"How about we let Munchkin adopt Lil Potato? He's always liked animals and was probably reminded of the past when he saw Lil Potato. His affection for Lil Potato is normal. Why don’t you adopt Lil Potato so he and Munchkin can be companions?"
Fred took the initiative. Tina's face did not reveal any disappointment, but I was sure she wanted Lil Potato to be her companion too.
I was just about to turn down the offer when I heard Munchkin dashing forth and yelling, "Daddy!"
I turned and stared in shock. I watched as Theo came in through the entrance and walked toward us. How did he know I would be here?
I was still stunned when Theo walked up to me.
"Daddy," Munchkin called out again sweetly.
He walked to Munchkin and caressed his small face gently before walking back to me. The volunteer standing nearby kept staring at him and only stopped when her gaze fell on me.
