Inja empeleni ungumngani omkhulu womuntu. Ukukhulisa i-puppy kungaba yinye yezikhathi ezivuzayo kakhulu ekuphileni kwakho. Akuzona nje izingane ezidumile kakhulu, zingabathanda futhi zithembeke, uma ubanika ithuba. Yiqiniso, i-puppyhood akuzona zonke izithombe ezinhle kanye ne-tug-o-war. I-Puppyhood ingaba yinselele ngokumangalisayo. Akufanele nje ube nesineke kuphela, kodwa kufanele unikeze konke kwalesi silwane. Kumele ucabange yonke ingozi kuye, kufanele uhlele ukuvakashelwa kwe-vet bese uthola ukudla kwenja.
Kumele ube nomphakathi, isitimela se-potty, nesibopho nalesi silwane esincane esingakwazi ukukhuluma futhi sikutshele ukuthi ungasiza kanjani. I-Puppyhood ihlukile, kodwa kunezindawo ezithile zokuphila ozoqhubeka usebenza kude kakhulu neminyaka ye-puppy.
Sinomxube omnandi we-Boxer / Lab obizwa ngo-Zoey. Uyamthanda wonke umuntu uma ebazisa ngokufanele. Lokhu akusho ukuthi uzomlonda umuntu noma ngisho noma akhonce noma akhuleke, kodwa angakhathazeka ngabantu abasha abavele bavele ezweni lakhe. Isizathu sokuthi ngithi lokhu kungukuthi ukulinganiselwa kwakhe kulesi simo. Ngoba ngichithe isikhathi esiningi ngimbeka ezimweni, ngithatha izindawo zakhe ezintsha, futhi ngimethulela kubantu abasha nezinto, ngiyazi lapho kungenzeka ukuthi abe nenkinga.
Ukudla & Ukuphatha
Ukuba ngumxhasi we-boxer sinokukhathazeka njalo kwezempilo ye-Zoey isikhathi eside futhi sigweme noma yiziphi izingozi zempilo ezingadingekile, ngakho-ke asimnike abantu abantu ukudla.
Ngezinye izikhathi uzothola isanqante noma ucezu lwe-popcorn, kodwa akadli ukudla okuzilungiselela thina. Ayikho i-table scraps, ayikho inqwaba, ayikho. Udla ukudla okuyinhloko ephezulu yenja okuyizinhlamvu mahhala futhi. Futhi okufanayo kwaba yi-Golden Retrievers eneminyaka engu-15 ubudala esanda kudlula.
Ngifuna bonke babe nokuphila okude kakhulu nokuhamba phambili ukuze banike ukudla okungenamsoco nje akuyona into esenzayo.
Ngakho lapho sinezinhlaka ngiyaqaphela kakhulu ngabantu abanikeza ukudla. Ngikhuluma ngaso sonke isikhathi kuwo wonke umuntu, ikakhulukazi abantu abasha nabangane babangane abaye bafika. Kodwa umuntu we-Zoey angakwazi ukupakisha amehlo enja ye-puppy lapho othile ehlezi lapho ene-snack emathangeni abo, enza konke okusemandleni akhe ukubaqinisekisa ukuthi angaba nayo. Ngakho-ke siyakhathazeka kakhulu ngalokho futhi siqiniseke ukuthi siyizingane ezinhle zenja ekunakekeleni i-puppy yethu.
Futhi ngokujulile, ushokoledi ubulala izinja. Isikhwama sika-kisses kaHershey angeke sikwenze, kodwa lezi zinsuku nge-chocolate eziningi zobuningi emakethe futhi zifinyeleleka, lezo zizokwenza. Sinebhodlela le-candy endaweni yokuvakasha yethu emsebenzini wonke unyaka wonke, futhi sinomthetho "ongekho chocolate onamandla" embusweni. Kungaba nzima ngoba, wazi, ushokoledi! Kodwa yiyona engcono kakhulu izinja, futhi sifuna ukusetha isibonelo esihle kakhulu.
Induduzo nokuPhepha
Umgomo wami we-Zoey wukuthi ahlale phansi ezolile lapho engathokozi nomuntu noma isimo esisha bese ulinda aze aqale ukuhambela. Njengoba usanda kuthuthela edolobheni, ongayifunda ngakho lapha, sithole amathuba amaningi maduzane ukwenza lokhu.
Lokho engikwenzile ngokuqhubekayo ngenkathi sisekho ukuhamba ngiyambheka, futhi uma exwayisa okuthile futhi eqala ukubuyela emuva, uphonsa izindlebe zakhe, noma ubeke umsila wakhe ngaphansi kwakhe ngizomane umnike umyalo Isithende (esimbuyisela eceleni kwami) futhi ngihlale naye ezolile kuze kube yilapho isimo sidlula.
Lokhu kwenza izinto ezimbalwa kimi. Ukumnika umyalo wokuqala kumsiza ukuba aphume emotweni yokuzivikela futhi abuyele emuva emphakathini wepakthi lapho epholile khona. Into yesibili lokhu kwenza ukuthi isimo sakhe sihambe kimi futhi uhlale ethule lapho esaba. Isihluthulelo lapha ukuba sihambisane naye ngokuzithoba futhi sibe ngomusa ngokushesha nje lapho eqala ukuzwa ukukhathazeka ngesimo. Enye yezinkathazo zami ezinkulu ukuthi uthola ukwesaba okuthile, uhlehlisela kude nawo futhi ekugcineni mina, ngidonsa ngaphandle kwikhola yakhe bese ngisebenza ukuze ngithole ikhava, ngingabonwanga futhi.
Lokhu kwenza ukusebenza kulokhu kuseduze kakhulu futhi kuthandeke enhliziyweni yami.
Manje njengoba sisebenza noSoey isikhathi esithile ukuze sifinyelele umgomo wethu uvame ukuphendula ezintweni ezamesabisayo noma ezimqaphile ngokuhamba eduze komunye wethu futhi ehlezi ngokuthula. Uyaphendula ngendlela efanayo lapho sisendlini nabangane behamba emnyango. Uhlala ehlile futhi ulinde aze angene lapha ngaphambi kokuba avakashele (okuyinto ukuthuthuka okukhulu ngaphezu kokuphendula kwakhe kokuqala lapho ezwa ukuvuleka okumele kukhishwe phansi kokuphefumula.) Sisebenze kanzima ukuthatha umkhawulo ozobe u-Zoey wayenomsizi futhi ukhululeke kakhulu ngakho konke ukuze asabele kangcono ngaphandle kokuqonda.
Ukuhamba Ndawonye
Ngesikhathi esifanayo lapho sisezindaweni ezilawulwayo senza i-leash sliding off, noma ngenkathi sihamba ngizoyikhipha i-leash bese ngihamba nayo nami ukuze afunde ukuthi ngisho noma i-leash ihlehliswa akukhona nje mahhala kuwo wonke umbuso. Emgqeni wethu womsebenzi, sibona lokho okuningi. Izinja ezihlelwe ekucabangeni ukuthi ngokushesha nje lapho i-leash ivela khona akudingeki ukuba alalele futhi angakwazi ukugijima.
Enye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokufundisa inja yakho ukuthi i-leash ephuma ingasho ukuthi "ukulalela isikhathi sekuphelile" ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ususa khona, uhlala nabo bese ulinde. Uthabatha umkhiqizo wabo. Uma bevuka ukuze bakushiye, sebenzisa ikolera yabo ukuze uqondise kabusha endaweni yokuhlala futhi ubatshele ukuthi balinde futhi ukuze ubeke imali yabo. Futhi uma usulungile, ubakhulula nge-soft "Kuyafaneleka" ukuze ubatshele ukuthi bakhululekile ukuhamba, kodwa yisikhathi sokuzola. Ngezinye izikhathi, ungabeka emuva leash bese uyisusa futhi uphinde uguqule iphethini, kanye nokusebenzisa i-exuberant eyengeziwe "Kuyafaneleka!" Ukukhombisa ukuthi yisikhathi sokudlala futhi ujabule! Uma uxhumana kakhulu ngalezi zindlela, inja yakho ephephile iyoba khona uma kukhona okungahambi kahle.
Izembatho nezingubo
Njengezinye izinto, izinja kalula (kahle, ngokuvamile kulula) zifundiswe okungenani zamukele ukuthi zigqoke izingubo.
Nge-Zoey, lokhu kuqale kakhulu empilweni yakhe. Ukuba yinja enhle kakhulu enomunyu uyabanda kakhulu kalula! Ngakho isingeniso sakhe sokuqala sokumbozwa okuthile kwakuvame ingubo eyamukelwa ngoba yayigcina ifudumele! Ngakho kusukela lapho kwakungelula ukuguqulwa ukugqoka izithunga ezizogcina zifudumala kahle lapho ehamba. Khona-ke isigqoko noma isikhafu esithile sasizobekwa kuso okwesikhashana ukuze sizijabulise. Bese ekugcineni ugqoka izingcezu eziningi zezingubo ze-Halloween.
Lokhu kuqhubeka kuthatha isikhashana kanye nama-LOTS wokuphatha, ukudumisa nokumphazamisa ngokomzimba lapho ehamba ukukhipha isigqoko noma ukuhlafuna ijezi lakhe elisha. Kodwa ekugcineni, manje uthanda ukugqoka esihlokweni sokugqoka. Ngokwethembeka, uma uhlala futhi ucabanga ngakho, ukugqoka inja ngendwangu kuyinto eyinqaba kubo. Sebevele begqoke isambatho somboya esibophayo, kungani ungeza esinye isendlalelo, bese ubopha isicathulo ekhanda labo ukuthi ama-jingles noma ahambe futhi ahambe embonweni wabo wendawo.
Lokho okunye okubaluleke kakhulu, ukufundisa inja yakho hhayi nje ukwamukela izingubo, kodwa ukusiza ekugqoke izingubo. Lokhu nakanjani ukuzivocavoca ezingeni elilandelayo ekukholweni nasekuqeqesheni ngenja yakho, kodwa kukusiza kakhulu. Isinyathelo sokuqala sokwenza inja yakho ikusize ukuthi ugqoke ukufundisa ukuthi bame. Hlola i-podcast yethu ngokuphatha kahle nokuvimbela amathiphu engeziwe ngale ndaba. Kodwa uma ungathola inja yakho ukuthi imele wena, sekuyisikhathi sokuqala ukukhetha amaphakheji abo ngesikhathi esisodwa. Vele ucabange ukuthi kuhle kangakanani ukuthi ukwazi ukubeka i-sweater emhlane bese umane uphakamisa i-paw up ukuze ubeke emgodini uma uwuthatha esikhundleni sokuwaxabana njengomphathi we-MMA njalo. Kuthatha nje ukujwayela nokubekezela kwakho ekuboniseni lokho okufunayo.
Uma sebezokwazi ukuma bese kukuvumela ukuthi uqoqe i-paw ngayinye ngokuzimela isikhathi salo ukuze ubambe imicu yezingubo zokugqoka. Khetha okungahambisani nalokhu kufaneleka okokuqala, ukuze kungadingeki ukuzingela izimbobo zengalo noma ukuzivimbela ngokungadingekile. Bese usebenzisa ikhono labo elisha elitholakalayo lokuqoqa amaphakheji ukukusiza ukuba uthole lapho kufanele khona.
Khumbula njalo ...
Yiba nesineke, sebenzisa i-LOTS yokuphatha nokudumisa, futhi ungawusunduli i-puppy yakho uma iphoqelekile. Lokhu kufanele kube mnandi kubo bonke, hhayi nje thina njengabanikazi bezinja. Inja kufanele nayo ijabulele. Futhi isikhathi esiningi uthatha ukubafundisa ukujabulela ukuphila, impilo yomuntu wonke izoba ngcono.
