Nā moʻolelo hauʻoli e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka home i nā ʻīlio

ʻAʻole ʻo Christine Barber e lawe i kahi ʻīlio liʻiliʻi mai ka hale hoʻomaha. Hana ʻo lāua me kāna kāne ʻo Brian i ka manawa piha a he ʻelua keiki kāne. Akā, ʻelua makahiki i hala aku nei, ua make kā lākou beagle, ʻo Lucky, i ka maʻi kanesa, a nalo loa lākou i kā lākou ʻīlio. No laila, me ka nui o nā moʻolelo hauʻoli e pili ana i ka hāpai ʻana a me ka hoʻopakele ʻana i nā ʻīlio makua, ua hoʻoholo lākou e ʻimi i hoa hou no lākou iho ma kahi hale hoʻomalu holoholona ma Erie, Pennsylvania. Hele mai lākou i laila me kā lākou mau keiki kāne e ʻike pehea e loaʻa ai ka ʻīlio a ʻike inā he holoholona kūpono i ko lākou ʻohana.

"Aia kekahi hewa i kēlā me kēia ʻīlio a mākou i ʻike ai ma laila," wahi a Christine. "ʻAʻole makemake kekahi i nā keiki, ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kekahi, a ʻaʻole lākou i launa pū me nā ʻīlio ʻē aʻe… aia mau kekahi mea a mākou makemake ʻole." No laila, ʻaʻole i manaʻo maikaʻi ʻo Kristin i ko lāua hōʻea ʻana i ka hale hoʻomalu o ANNA i ka hopena o ka punawai. Akā, i ko lākou komo ʻana i loko, ua ʻike ka ʻohana i kahi pup me nā maka ʻōlinolino a me ka huelo ʻōniʻoniʻo. I ka lua, ua ʻike ʻo Christine iā ia e paʻa ana iā ia ma kona mau lima.  

“Hele mai ʻo ia a noho ma koʻu ʻūhā a me he mea lā ua manaʻo ʻo ia i ka home. Hoʻopili wale ʻo ia iaʻu a kau i kona poʻo i lalo… nā mea e like me ia, "wahi āna. ʻO ka ʻīlio, ʻekolu mahina wale nō kona mau makahiki, ua ʻike ʻia ma ka hale hoʻomalu ma hope o ka lawe ʻana mai o kekahi mea mālama iā ia…. Ua mai a nawaliwali.

"Ua maopopo ʻole ʻo ia he home ʻole no ka manawa lōʻihi, ma ke alanui," wahi a Ruth Thompson, ka luna o ka hale hoʻomalu. "Ua dehydrated ʻo ia a pono e mālama ʻia." Ua hoʻihoʻi mai nā limahana o ka hale i ka ʻīlio, hoʻomaʻemaʻe iā ia, a—i ka wā ʻaʻohe mea i hele mai iā ia—hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻimi i hale hou nona. A laila loaʻa ʻo ia i nā Barbers.

"Ua paʻi mai kekahi mea iaʻu," wahi a Kristin. Ua hana ʻia ʻo ia no mākou. Ua ʻike mākou a pau. ʻO Lucian, kā lāua keiki ʻelima makahiki, ua kapa ʻia ka ʻīlio ʻo Pretzel. I kēlā pō hoʻokahi, hoʻokele ʻo ia i ka home me ka Barbers.

Ma hope ua pau hou ka ʻohana

I kēia manawa, he mau mahina wale nō ma hope mai, ua pau ka moʻolelo o ka loaʻa ʻana o Pretzel i kona home, a ua lilo ʻo ia i lālā piha o ka ʻohana. Makemake nā kamaliʻi i ka pāʻani a me ka puliki pū me ia. ʻO ke kāne a Kristin, he mākaʻi, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua emi kona kaumaha mai ka wā i hele mai ai ʻo Pretzel i ko lākou hale. Pehea ʻo Christine? Mai ka manawa a lāua i hui mua ai, ʻaʻole haʻalele ka ʻīlio iā ia no kekona.

“Ua pili loa ʻo ia iaʻu. Ke hahai mau nei ʻo ia iaʻu a puni," wahi a Kristin. Makemake ʻo ia e noho pū me aʻu i nā manawa a pau. Manaʻo wau no ka mea he keiki haʻalele ʻo ia… hopohopo wale ʻo ia inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hele mai iaʻu. A aloha au iā ia me ka pau ʻole. ʻO kekahi o nā ala e hōʻike ai ʻo Pretzel i kona aloha mau, ʻo ia ka nau ʻana i ka kāmaʻa o Christine, he mea kupanaha, ma ka hema mau. Wahi a Kristin, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā kāmaʻa o nā ʻohana ʻē aʻe e ka ʻīlio. Akā, ʻakaʻaka ʻo ia.

"Ua hoʻoholo wau e lawe ia mea he kumu nui e kūʻai mau ai iaʻu i nā kāmaʻa hou," wahi āna. Ua ʻae ʻo Kristin he pilikia loa ka lawe ʻana i kahi ʻīlio mai kahi hale hoʻomalu. Akā ua holo maikaʻi nā mea no kona ʻohana, a ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei ʻo ia e hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia nā moʻolelo hānai ʻīlio ʻē aʻe e like me ka hauʻoli no ka poʻe makemake e mālama.

"ʻAʻole e hiki mai ka manawa kūpono," wahi āna. "Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻololi i kou manaʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole kēia ka manawa kūpono. Akā ʻaʻole loa e loaʻa kahi manawa kūpono no kēia. A pono ʻoe e hoʻomanaʻo ʻaʻole ia no ʻoe, no kēia ʻīlio. Noho lākou i loko o kēia pā a ʻo ke aloha a me ka home wale nō kā lākou makemake. No laila, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i hemolele a makaʻu ʻoe a maopopo ʻole, e hoʻomanaʻo he lani no lākou e noho ai i kahi home kahi e loaʻa ai ke aloha a me ka nānā ʻana iā lākou e pono ai.

ʻAʻole naʻe nā mea a pau i ka ʻulaʻula

Me Pretzel pū kekahi, aia nā pilikia. Ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, "loaʻa ʻo ia i nā pilikia āpau," wahi a Christina. Eia kekahi, hoʻopaʻa koke ʻo ia i ka meaʻai. ʻO kēia maʻamau, wahi a Kristin, ma muli paha o ka pōloli o ka ʻīlio liʻiliʻi i kona noho ʻana ma ke alanui. Akā, he mau pilikia liʻiliʻi wale nō kēia, a ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ko Christine lāua ʻo Brian i manaʻo ai i ko lāua manaʻo ʻana e lawe i kahi ʻīlio mai kahi hale hoʻomaha.

"ʻO ka hapa nui o kēia mau ʻīlio he ʻano 'ʻeke'," wahi a Christine. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo "hoʻopakele" no ke kumu. Pono ʻoe e hoʻomanawanui. Pono ʻoe e lokomaikaʻi. Pono ʻoe e hoʻomaopopo he mau holoholona kēia e pono ai ke aloha, hoʻomanawanui, hoʻonaʻauao a me ka manawa.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ruth Thompson, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka hale hoʻomalu ʻo ANNA, ke hana ikaika nei nā limahana e ʻimi i ka ʻohana kūpono no nā ʻīlio e like me Pretzel i loaʻa i nā moʻolelo hānai ʻīlio kahi hopena hauʻoli. Paipai nā limahana mālama i ka poʻe e noiʻi i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka ʻano ma mua o ka lawe ʻana i kahi ʻīlio, hoʻomākaukau i ko lākou home, a e hōʻoia i ka poʻe a pau e noho ana i ka home ua mākaukau a mākaukau e hānai i kahi holoholona.

"ʻAʻole ʻoe makemake e hele mai kekahi e koho i kahi Jack Russell Terrier no ka mea liʻiliʻi a nani hoʻi ʻo ia, a laila ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ka mea a lākou i makemake ai he kanaka home palaualelo," wahi a Thompson. “A i ʻole no ka hele ʻana mai o ka wahine e kiʻi i ka ʻīlio, a manaʻo paha kāna kāne he manaʻo ʻino. Pono ʻoe a me kāua e noʻonoʻo pono i nā mea āpau, i ʻole e hoʻopau hou ka ʻīlio i kahi malu e ʻimi ai i kahi ʻohana ʻē aʻe. A he mea kaumaha no nā kānaka a pau.

Ma waho aʻe o ka noiʻi ʻana i ka ʻike moʻo, koʻikoʻi, a me ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana i ko lākou home, pono e mālama ka poʻe makemake i ka lawe ʻana i kahi ʻīlio mai kahi hale hoʻomalu i kēia mau mea:

• E hiki mai ana: Hiki i ka ʻīlio ke ola no nā makahiki he nui. Mākaukau ʻoe e lawe i ke kuleana nona no ke koena o kona ola?
• Mālama: Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono e hāʻawi iā ia i ka hoʻoikaika kino a me ka nānā ʻana e pono ai?
• Nā lilo: Hoʻomaʻamaʻa, mālama, lawelawe holoholona, ​​meaʻai, mea pāʻani. ʻO kēia mau mea a pau e uku iā ʻoe i kahi peni maikaʻi. Hiki iā ʻoe ke uku?
• Kuleana: Ke kipa mau aku i ke kauka holoholona, ​​spaying a castration o kou ilio, a me na lapaau pale mau, incl. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mea āpau ke kuleana o ka mea mālama holoholona. Mākaukau ʻoe e lawe iā ia?

No nā Barbers, ʻo ka pane i kēlā mau nīnau he ʻae. 'Ōleloʻo Kristin he kūponoʻo Pretzel no ko lākouʻohana. "Ua hoʻopiha ʻo ia i kahi hakahaka ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike iā mākou," wahi a Kristin. "I kēlā me kēia lā hauʻoli mākou no kona noho pū ʻana me mākou."
