Izinja-amaqhawe: inja uBen uhlenge izingane endlini eshayo

Wonke umnikazi ubona okuthile okuwubuqhawe enjeni yabo, kodwa uColleen, umnikazi wenja kaBen, angabheka isilwane sakhe njengeqhawe ngokufanelekile. U-Ben uyisilwane esifuywayo somndeni wakwa-Rauschenberg, futhi ubeke isibonelo esihle kuzo zonke izinja: wayesiza abantu lapho beyidinga ngempela.

“Ngibonga kakhulu ngekusasa ngokunginika ithuba lokusindisa uBen, naye owasindisa impilo yezingane zami kanye nempilo yendodakazi yomngane wami, okusho ukuthi, wangisindisa,” kusho uColleen.

UColleen Rauschenberg waba yinkosikazi kaBen kungekudala. Wayesezothola inja, futhi umngane wakhe u-Helin wabiza futhi wamtshela ngesikhangiso ephephandabeni lendawo - inja enhle ifuna umnikazi. Kodwa lapho uColleen eqala ukubona isithombe senja yakhe yesikhathi esizayo eyiqhawe, akazange ayithande nhlobo le nja futhi wabonakala emubi.

Ilungelo lokuhlala liqinisekisiwe

"U-Ben uyisiphambano phakathi kwe-Bernese Mountain Dog kanye ne-Border Collie," kusho uCollin. Leso sithombe esivela ephephandabeni saba neshwa elikhulu, awukwazi ukuthatha isithombe esibi kakhulu ngaye. Lapho ngimbona ephila, wayebukeka ehluke ngokuphelele!”

Ngobusuku bokuqala endlini entsha, inja yaqanjwa ngokuthi “Big Ben” (ngokwezwi nezwi elithi “Big Ben”, kubhekiselwa endaweni edumile yaseLondon) kanye “noGentle Ben” (okubhekisela ochungechungeni oluthi “Master of the Mountain” ). Ngakusasa ekuseni, uColleen wathola ukuthi izingane zakhe zazigqokise inja enkulu ijezi lebhola le-Steelers. U-Ben wamukela imithetho ye "pack" entsha ngemvelo enhle futhi, ngokujabulisa umndeni wonke, ngokuziqhenya wahamba kule yunifomu yebhola.

AbakwaRauschenberg babemthanda kakhulu uBen. Emnene, ethembekile futhi ejabule, wajoyina umndeni ngokuphelele. Khona-ke uColleen nezingane zakhe baphuma endlini bayohlala endlini eqashiwe, lapho, ngeshwa, kwakungavunyelwe ukufuya izilwane. Nokho, uBen wayekwazi ukuvakashela umkhaya wakhe. Phakathi nokunye kwalokhu kuvakasha, inja yamane yakhanga umnikazi wefulethi ngokuziphatha okuyisibonelo nokuziphatha okuhle kwezinja, futhi ekugcineni wanquma ukuthi uBen angahlala nomkhaya wakhe.

Lesi sinqumo kungenzeka sisindise ukuphila kwezingane ezine.

Ngalobo busuku

UColleen udivosile futhi uhlala ematasa, ngakho ubengavamile ukuba nesikhathi sakhe sokuphumula. Lapho izingane zinaye, hhayi noyise, lona wesifazane wazama ukuchitha isikhathi nazo. Kodwa ngobunye balezo zikhathi zakusihlwa, u-Alex, indodakazi yomngane wakhe uHelin, yamshayela ucingo yambuza ukuthi kudingeka yini amgadele umntwana. U-Alex wayefuna itoho njengomzanyana ngoba wayefuna ukonga imali yokuvuselela ikamelo lakhe. UColleen wacabanga ngakho wavuma.

Ngalobo busuku, waphonsa izinto ezimbalwa endaweni yokomisa izingubo wahamba, washiya izingane no-Alex. Owesifazane wayephumule nomngane wakhe, futhi konke kwakuhamba kahle. Izikhathi eziningi kusihlwa wayekhuluma ocingweni no-Alex nezingane. Babehamba kahle, ngakho uColleen wanquma ukubuyela ekhaya kamuva. Ngesikhathi efona okokugcina u-Alex wathi zonke izingane zilele kanti naye usezolala ngoba kwase kuhwalala.

Lokho uColleen akuzwa ocingweni olulandelayo kusamenza aqhaqhazele.

Indodakazi yakhe yafona, yamemeza ocingweni: “Mama, mama! Woza ekhaya maduze! Siyavutha!

UColleen akakhumbuli nokuthi ufike kanjani ekhaya: “Ngagijima ngaya ezinganeni, ngikhumbula ukukhala kwamasondo kuphela.

Umlilo ugubungele ifulethi lonke. Kungenzeka ukuthi umlilo uqalwe umshini wokomisa uColleen emahoreni ambalwa ngaphambili. Ngesikhathi izingane zilele, uBig Ben owayehlale eqaphile wayenuka intuthu. Waya ku-Alex wamvusa ngokugxuma eduze kombhede wakhe. Akukhona nje ukuphikelela kukaBen okwasindisa izingane, kodwa futhi iqiniso lokuthi umama ka-Alex wamtshela ngezinja: uma inja ikuvusa, akufanele uyizibe, khona-ke kwenzeka okuthile. Wasukuma uAlex waya emnyango ongaphambili ukuze akhiphe uBen; wacabanga ukuthi kumele aye endlini yokugezela. Kodwa endlini yokuphumula wabona umlilo. U-Alex wakwazi ukukhipha uBen nezingane efulethini wabe esebiza abezicishamlilo.

“Ukube uBen akamvusanga, ngabe akekho kubo obezoba nathi manje,” kusho uColleen.

Kwenzekani ngokulandelayo

Igumbi lokuphumula elikhulu nelondolo kube nomonakalo omkhulu. Amakhethini asendlini yokuphumula ancibilika ngokoqobo. Kwakubonakala sengathi lalingekho nelilodwa igumbi efulethini, nomaphi lapho kwakufinyelele khona intuthu nomlilo.

“Ngidivosile, ngakho anginayo imali eningi,” kuvuma uCollin. “Kodwa ngithemba ukuthi ngizokonga imali edingekayo futhi ngizitholele i-tattoo noBen. Phela, uma kungenjalo, ngingalahlekelwa wonke umuntu.

Futhi inja yeqhawe ibonakala ingacabangi ukuthi yenze okuthile okukhethekile. Ku-Ben, yonke into isafana: isitsha sokudla okomile ekuseni, uhamba izikhathi eziningana ngosuku, ukuzulazula okunomsindo egcekeni, nokushintsha abe ijezi le-Steelers. Nokho, kuColleen, inja yaqala ukusho okwengeziwe. Lesi isibonelo esiyinhloko sothando olukhethekile oluzwayo ngezinja ezisiza abantu ngoba nje kuyinto efanele ukuyenza.

Izinja zamaqhawe nemililo

Ngokusho kwe-PBS (Inkonzo Yokusakaza Yomphakathi - insizakalo yokusakaza yomphakathi), umuzwa wenja wokuhogela ubukhali ngokuphindwe izikhathi eziyi-10 kuya kweziyi-000 kunomuntu. Izinja zingakwazi ukuhogela noma yini kusukela ezintweni ezivuthayo ezisetshenziswa abashisi kuya kumangqamuzana anomdlavuza kubantu. Kungenzeka ukuthi izinzwa zikaBen ezibukhali zamsiza ukuba abone ingozi.

Kodwa kungani evusa u-Alex hhayi izingane? Phela ungumuntu wangaphandle, akalona ilungu lomndeni? Ngoba u-Alex wayazi ukuthi kufanele enzeni emlilweni. Izinja zizwa umholi wephakethe. Yebo, uBen wabona ukuthi u-Alex wayengumholi ngalobo busuku ngoba uColleen wayengekho ekhaya.

Ezinye izinja, njengoBen, ziye zasindisa imikhaya yazo emlilweni, ukuzamazama komhlaba, nakwezinye izinhlekelele zemvelo nezibangelwa abantu. Incwadi ye-inthanethi ye-Huffington Post yabhala ngenja eyimpumputhe, eyisithulu, enemilenze emithathu ethi True yase-Oklahoma, eyahlenga umndeni wayo ekusha kwendlu ngendlela efanayo naleyo uBen asindisa ngayo umndeni wakwaRauschenberg. Kubonakala sengathi akukho okuzovimbela inja ekwenzeni ubuqhawe uma umuntu esenkingeni. Izindaba ezimayelana nezinja ezisiza abantu ziyancomeka, futhi izindaba ezinjalo azivamile neze.

Izilwane ezifuywayo zingenza umehluko omkhulu ezimpilweni zethu, yingakho amaqhawe afana no-Gentle Ben efanelwe umsoco ongcono kakhulu. Ukudla kwenja okuseqophelweni eliphezulu kusiza izinja ukuthi zihlale ziphilile futhi zijabule kunoma yisiphi isimo. Inja yeqhawe idinga ukudla okunomsoco njengoba nje nenja idinga umndeni wayo. I-Hill's Science Plan iyisinqumo esihle kakhulu sesilwane sakho.
