"Ngikholwa ukuthi uzobuya futhi..."

Eminyakeni eyisikhombisa edlule le nja yabonakala emzini wami. Kwenzeka ngengozi: umnikazi wangaphambili wayefuna ukumkhulula, ngoba wayengayidingi inja.

Angizange ngithole isipho: inja yayihamba nomnikazi wangaphambili kuphela kukhola eqinile, yayikudoti, inenqwaba yezifo ezihambisanayo futhi yayinganakwa kakhulu. Ngenkathi ngiqala ukuthatha intambo ka-Alma, waqala ukungidonsa, eqamula izingalo zami. Futhi into yokuqala engiyenzile, yiqiniso, yayingalungile ngokuphelele ngokombono we-cynology. Ngamdedela ethanjeni futhi ngathi:

- Bunny, uma ufuna ukuhlala nami, masiphile ngemithetho yami. Uma uhamba, hamba. Uma uhlala, hlala nami kuze kube phakade.

Kwaba nomuzwa wokuthi inja iyangiqonda. Futhi kusukela ngalolo suku kuqhubeke, kwakungeyona into engokoqobo ukulahlekelwa u-Alma, noma ngabe wawufuna: Angizange ngimlandele, kodwa wangilandela.

Saba nesikhathi eside sokwelashwa nokululama. Imali eshisiwe yayitshalwe kuye, ekuhambeni ngimeseka ngesikhafu, ngoba wayengakwazi ukuhamba.

Esikhathini esithile ekuphileni kwethu ndawonye, ​​ngabona, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kungase kuzwakale kanjani, ukuthi kumuntu ka-Alma, uLabrador wami wokuqala wayebuyele kimi.

Ngaphambi kuka-Alma, nginenye i-Labrador esayithatha emzaneni - kusukela esimweni sokuphila esifanayo, ngezifo ezifanayo. Futhi ngesikhathi esisodwa esihle, u-Alma waqala ukwenza lokho okwakuzokwenziwa yileyo nja. Ngakho ngikholelwa ekuzalweni kabusha.

Futhi ngine-Smooth Fox Terrier, i-Crazy Empress yami, engiyithanda ngokuhlanya. Kodwa kunzima ukucabanga isilwane esifuywayo esingcono kuno-Alma. Ngesisindo esingaphezu kwama-30 kg, wayengabonakali ngokuphelele embhedeni. Kwathi lapho umntwana wami ezalwa, wazibonakalisa ezinhlangothini ezinhle kakhulu futhi waba umsizi wami nomngane wami ekukhuliseni izinyane lomuntu. Ngokwesibonelo, lapho siletha indodakazi yethu esanda kuzalwa ekhaya futhi siyibeka phezu kombhede, u-Alma wayeshaqekile: waphushela indodakazi yakhe wajula embhedeni futhi wabuka ngamehlo ahlanyayo: “Uyahlanya yini – ingane yakho isizowa!”

Kuningi esidlule kukho ndawonye. Sasebenza esikhumulweni sezindiza, nokho, kamuva kwavela ukuthi kwakunzima ku-Alma ukuba yinja yokusesha, ngakho wavele wangigcina ngihlala nami. Kwathi lapho sisebenzisana nengosi ye-WikiPet, u-Alma wavakashela izingane ezinezidingo ezikhethekile futhi wazisiza ukuba zibone uhlangothi olukhanyayo lwempilo.

U-Alma wayedinga ukuba nami ngaso sonke isikhathi. Into ehlakaniphe kakhulu ngale nja ukuthi akunandaba ukuthi yayikuphi futhi ngasiphi isikhathi, kodwa uma uMuntu Wakhe eseduze, kusho ukuthi isekhaya. Noma ngabe sikuphi! Sasigibela izithuthi zomphakathi siya noma yikuphi edolobheni, futhi inja yazizwa izolile.

Cishe inyanga edlule indodakazi yami yavuka yathi:

“Ngibe nephupho lokuthi u-Alma uzodlulela ngale kothingo.

Ngaleso sikhathi, yiqiniso, akuzange kusho lutho kimi: kahle, ngiphuphe futhi ngaphupha. Ngemva kwesonto, u-Alma wagula, futhi wagula kakhulu. Samphatha, samfaka ama-drip, samfunza ngenkani… Ngadonsa kwaze kwaba sekugcineni, kodwa ngesizathu esithile ngangazi kusukela ngosuku lokuqala ukuthi yonke into yayiyize. Mhlawumbe imizamo yami yokumphatha yayiwukunganakwa. Inja isanda kuhamba, futhi yakwenza, njengawo wonke umuntu empilweni yayo, ngesizotha. Futhi okwesine, kwakungenakwenzeka ukumsindisa.

U-Alma washona ngoLwesihlanu, futhi ngoMgqibelo umyeni wakhe wahamba wayoshaywa umoya futhi akabuyanga yedwa. Ezingalweni zakhe kwakukhona ikati, umyeni walo alikhipha emgodini wekheshi. Kuyacaca ukuthi lengane asiyinikanga muntu. Kwakuyisigaxa esinamehlo agelezayo kanye nenqwaba yamazeze. “Ngisize” ukuvalelwa yedwa komakhelwane, engibabonga kakhulu - phela endlini yethu kunekati eselikhulile, futhi ukuletha ikati endlini ngokushesha kungafana nokubulala ikati lethu.

Yiqiniso, ikati yangiphazamisa ekulahlekelweni: kwakudingeka njalo ilashwe futhi inakekelwe. Indodakazi yaqhamuka negama elithi: yathi ikati elisha lizobizwa ngokuthi uBecky. Manje uBecky uhlala nathi.

Kodwa angivalelisi ku-Alma. Ngiyakholelwa ekufudukeni kwemiphefumulo. Isikhathi sizohamba futhi sizophinde sibonane.
