Indlela yokuvikela isihlahla sikaKhisimusi ekati futhi ulondoloze iholide

Ikati likaBrenda Martin okuthiwa uMax lake lawisa isihlahla lizama ukugxumela kuso.

UMax usehambile isikhathi eside, kodwa uBrenda nomyeni wakhe uJohn Myers bafunde isifundo sabo: lapho bebona isihlahla sikaKhisimusi, isilwane esifuywayo singaba umbhubhisi wangempela. Ngakho-ke, ukuze baqinise isihlahla semikhosi, baqala ukusibophela odongeni.

Amakati ahlala nawo namuhla, uShukela noSpice, athanda ukugibela esihlahleni sikaKhisimusi futhi ahlale emagatsheni aso ukuze abuke izibani. Ngelinye iholidi likaKhisimusi, uJohn wangena futhi wathola ukuthi uSpice wayegibele phezulu kakhulu esihlahleni esingamamitha amathathu.

“Ubehlezi lapho, ecwebezela okwenkanyezi,” kusho uBrenda.

Akunakwenzeka ukuthi abanikazi bazokwazi ukuvikela ngokuphelele ikati noma ikati ezinkingeni ezihlobene nesihlahla sikaKhisimusi esihlotshisiwe, kodwa kufanelekile ukuzama ukuxazulula izinkinga eziningi ezingaholela kuzo ilukuluku lomngane onoboya obuningi.

Ikati nesihlahla: usenza kanjani isihlahla ukuthi siphephe izilwane

Indlela yokulondoloza isihlahla sikaKhisimusi ekati? Isazi sokuziphatha kwekati u-Pam Johnson-Bennett unikeza izindlela ezimbalwa zokugcina izilwane ziphephile futhi ugcine izihlahla zikaKhisimusi ziphephile kule nkathi yamaholide. Ngokusho kwakhe, kungcono ukubeka isihlahla semikhosi ekamelweni elingavalwa isikhathi lapho kungekho muntu onakekela isilwane. Ngakho-ke, ungamane uvale umnyango lapho ungekho ukuze ungazitholi izinto ezimangalisayo lapho ubuya.

Kodwa uma lokho kungenakwenzeka, uPam uphakamisa ukwenza into efanayo eyenziwa uBrenda noJohn: 

● Lungisa isihlahla sikaKhisimusi. Uma ulungisa isihlahla odongeni noma ophahleni ngomugqa wokudoba kanye ne-eye bolt, kuzoba nzima kakhulu ukuthi ikati liyilahle.

● Thenga isitendi esiqinile. Kufanele uthole isisekelo somuthi esingasekela isisindo nokuphakama kwesihlahla, ngisho noma ikati ligibela kuso.

● Susa ifenisha ezungeze isihlahla sikaKhisimusi. Ikati lingasebenzisa itafula eliseduze, usofa, noma ishalofu lezincwadi ukuze ligxumele liqonde esihlahleni.

Ikati lidla isihlahla sikaKhisimusi: indlela yokusikhipha

Nakuba uBrenda noJohn bengakaze babe nesilwane esifuywayo esithanda ukuncela izinaliti zesihlahla sikaKhisimusi, amanye amakati awakuthandi ukuhlafuna isihlahla. U-Pam Johnson-Bennett weluleka ngokufafaza amagatsha ngesifutho esibabayo ukuze isilwane singawahlafuni. Lesi sifutho singathengwa esitolo, noma ungenza ngokwakho ngokuxuba amafutha e-citrus noma ijusi kalamula entsha namanzi bese ufutha izinkuni ngengxube ewumphumela. 

Ikati lingase libe nokungaqondakali mayelana nephunga lesifutho osikhethile, ngakho-ke udinga ukwenza isiqiniseko ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwakho ukuthi lisabisa kangakanani isilwane esifuywayo esihlahleni sikaKhisimusi. Uma kungenjalo, ungazama uhlobo oluhlukile lwesifutho noma ezinye izithako. 

UPam Johnson-Bennett ubonisa ukuthi uma ikati lidla isihlahla sikaKhisimusi, lokhu akukona nje ukuphazamiseka okucasulayo, kodwa futhi kuyingozi empilweni yesilwane esifuywayo.

“Izinalithi zezihlahla ze-coniferous zinobuthi uma zidliwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, awukwazi ukuqiniseka ukuthi isihlahla asifuthwanga ngohlobo oluthile lwe-flame retardant, isilondolozi noma isibulala-zinambuzane,” kubhala yena.

Ngokusho kukachwepheshe wokuziphatha kwekati u-Marilyn Krieger, ukudla izinalithi zikaphayini kungadala ukulimala kwesibindi noma kubulale. Utshele uPetcha ukuthi izinaliti zingabhoboza amathumbu esilwane, kanti izinaliti zokhuni lokwenziwa zingadala ukuvaleka kwamathumbu.

Phila izinaliti zesihlahla sikaKhisimusi akuyona inkinga kuphela. Ngamaholide, izitshalo zoNyaka Omusha ezinobuthi emakati zingangena endlini. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ikati aliphuzi ethangini lapho isihlahla simi khona. UPam Johnson-Bennett uveza ukuthi akuwona nje ubisi lwesihlahla oluyingozi, kodwa iningi lezinqamuleli ezifakwa emanzini, njenge-aspirin.

Ukuze uvikele isilwane engozini, ungavala ithangi nge-mesh noma itheyiphu kagesi ngohlangothi olunamathelayo lubheke phezulu ukuze ikati lingakwazi ukufinyelela emanzini lapho isihlahla simi khona.

Ikati liluma i-garland: indlela yokuyimisa

Izihlahla zezihlahla zikaKhisimusi zingafafazwa ngesifutho esixosha noma zigwenywe ngokuphelele ukuzisebenzisa ukuze ikati lingacabangi ukuwahlafuna. Ukuze ugcine isihlahla sakho sikaKhisimusi sikhanya futhi uvikele isilwane sakho, kufanele ulandele izincomo eziningana:

● Izintambo ze-garland kufanele ziboshwe ngokuqinile emagatsheni, ngoba izingxenye ezilengayo ezixegayo zizoba umgomo olingayo wekati.

● Khetha izibani ezisanda kukhanya, kodwa ezingabanyisi noma zicwayize, ukuze isilwane sakho esifuywayo singafuni ukudlala ngaso.

● Vala zonke izintambo ezisuka esihlahleni ziye kusokhethi. Ukuze uzivikele ku-kitten efrisky, ungafaka ithawula lephepha elingenalutho noma imikhono yephepha langasese kubo.

● Njalo hlola kokubili ikati nesihlahla ukuthi akukho monakalo yini. Uma isilwane esifuywayo sinokufinyelela esihlahleni sikaKhisimusi lapho kungekho muntu ekhaya, qiniseka ukuthi uhlola izintambo zokulimala emazinyweni noma ezinzipho. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele uvale njalo i-garland kusukela ekuphumeni uma umuthi ushiywe ungagadiwe. Uma kungenzeka ukuthi ikati lingadla ucingo oluphilayo, udinga ukuhlola umlomo walo kanye namafinyila ngokusha, uboya obucwebile kanye nentshebe. Uma kusolwa ukuthi ikati lingase lilimele lapho lihlafuna i-garland, kufanele ngokushesha ushayele udokotela wakho wezilwane.

Isihlahla sekati nesikaKhisimusi: okufanele ukwenze ngemihlobiso

Awukwazi ukusola ikati ngokuthanda imihlobiso kaKhisimusi. Lezi zinto ezicwebezelayo ezinyakazayo zicela nje ukudlalwa ngazo, futhi isilwane esifuywayo esinoboya akunakwenzeka ukwazi ukuthi le mihlobiso iyifa lomndeni esizukulwaneni sesithathu. Indlela yokumphazamisa kulo mhlobiso oyigugu? UBrenda ucabanga ukuthi konke kuncike ekutheni amathoyizi alengiswa kuphi.

“Engxenyeni yesithathu engezansi yesihlahla, ngilenga amathoyizi angaphuki noma ashibhile engingenankinga nokuwaphula,” kusho uBrenda. Ngokuqondene nezibonelo eziyigugu kakhulu futhi ezibuthakathaka, kungcono ukuzishiya ebhokisini nhlobo uze uqonde ukuthi ikati lisabela kanjani emihlobiso yesihlahla sikaKhisimusi.

Ukuze izilwane ziphile ngokuvumelana nesihlahla sikaKhisimusi, uPam Johnson-Bennett uphakamisa ukusondela ekukhetheni imihlobiso kanje:

● Khetha amathoyizi anganqamuki. Uma kungenjalo, ikati lingase ligwinye noma linyathele ucezu olucijile, futhi kuyodingeka liyiswe kudokotela wezilwane.

● Beka imihlobiso eduze nendawo ephakathi kwesihlahla hhayi emagatsheni aphansi noma angaphandle lapho isilwane esifuywayo esinelukuluku sifinyelele khona kalula kuso.

● Sebenzisa intambo eluhlaza, etholakala engxenyeni yemifino esitolo segrosa esiseduze, ukuze ulengise imihlobiso esihlahleni sikaKhisimusi. Ngale ndlela, ungakwazi ukulungisa ngokuqinile imihlobiso emagatsheni, futhi kuyoba nzima kakhulu ukuba ikati liwawise phansi.

● Khetha isitayela se-retro. Uma ikati lingafuni ukushiya isihlahla sikaKhisimusi sodwa, ungalenga imihlobiso yephepha elula namagoda kuwo ukuze uvikele isilwane esifuywayo kanye nemihlobiso kaKhisimusi othandekayo enhliziyweni yakho.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiziphi izinyathelo okufanele usebenzise kuzo, kubalulekile ukuthi ungalahlekelwa isimo sengqondo soNyaka Omusha. UBrenda uzoqinisekisa: ngamakati, kanye nezihlahla zikaKhisimusi, ezidala izinkumbulo zamaholide.

“Amakati aqhamuka nento entsha minyaka yonke, okuhlanganisa namaqhinga azungeze isihlahla ahlala esihlekisa,” usho kanje. "Sekuvele kuyingxenye yesiko lomndeni wethu."
