Oku kuthathelwe ingqalelo: ikholamu yam yeveki ezinikele ekwabelaneni ngazo zonke izinto endizithandayo ngoku-ukusuka kukutya okukhethekileyo kunye nemibono yesipho ukuya kwiindawo zokuhamba kunye neemveliso zobuhle-kunye neengcebiso kunye namaqhinga okuphila ubomi bakho obungcono.
Akuyomfihlo ukuba ndithe phithi yiNja yam ye-Eskimo yaseMelika eneminyaka emi-5 ubudala, iGrits. Une iakhawunti yakhe ye-Instagram , uhamba nam kuyo yonke indawo—kuquka iindawo zokutyela ezithandwa zizinja, iindawo ezithengisa utywala, iimarike zamafama, iivenkile neendawo zokuchitha ikhefu—yaye ndiye ndamsa nakwimidlalo embalwa yebaseball yeligi. (Nanku ebukele ibaseball ene-ayisikrimu yenja yakhe. Akagqibelelanga?!)
Isisongeli senkukhu esine-crispy
Ndiyakwazi ukukha umbongo ngendlela usana lwam olunoboya olukhulu ngayo, kodwa andikwazi kuzibamba ndiziva ndinesidingo esincinci kwaye ndiyazibuza ukuba ucinga ukuba nam ndilungile na. Ndiyazi ukuba uyathanda ukuba ndimtyise rhoqo kwaye ndihambe naye xa enyuka, kodwa ngaba ukuthontelana kwakhe ebusuku kunye nemikhwa ye-velcro-dog kuthetha ukuba ndingaphezulu kuye kunokuba *nje* umntu ohlala naye onemilenze emibini? Ndacofa iBeth Cobb, iDVM kunye neqabane ku Cahaba Mountain Brook Animal Clinic , ukufumana i-scoop.
Kuyavela, kukho imiqondiso eqinisekileyo yokuba inja yakho izama ukuthi iyakuthanda. Nantsi into ethethwa nguGqr. Cobb nganye ithetha.
Inja Yakho Isithunzi Sakho
UGqr. Cobb uthi, 'Oyena mntu bamthanda kakhulu ngulowo bafuna ukuba secaleni kwakhe.' Ukuba inja yakho iyakulandela (okanye, njengam, ayiyi kukuvumela ukuba uye kwindlu yangasese wedwa), mhlawumbi uzama ukukubonisa ukuba uyakuthanda kangakanani.
Balala nawe kunye/okanye bakubambe
'Ngenxa yokhetho, izilwanyana ezininzi zifuna ukuhlala tofotofo,' utsho uGqr. Cobb. Ngoko ukuba inja yakho isecaleni kwebhedi okanye ilala ekupheleni kwebhedi, isenokungabi ngumqondiso wothando. Kodwa ukuba umntwana wakho ulala ethangeni lakho ngexesha lomdyarho weNetflix okanye ulala ezingalweni zakho ebusuku, luphawu oluqinisekileyo lomlilo lokuba bayakuthanda.
Bafuna Uthando
Unokucinga ukuba inja yakho ifuna ngenkani, kodwa uGqr. Cobb uthi, 'Izinja ngamanye amaxesha ziyakuphulula intloko esandleni njengoko zifuna ukuba uziphulule. Leyo yindlela yabo yokuba nothando.' Yaye ukuba inja yakho ibeka i-paw yayo kuwe ngelixa uhleli ecaleni kwayo okanye ukuyiphulula, ingaba yindlela yakhe yokuthi 'Ndiyakuthanda.' Yiya phambili kwaye umnike imbuyekezo yothando-ufanelekile.
Bayavuya Ukubona Xa Ufika Ekhaya
Ngokuqinisekileyo, ezinye zezo zoom zomncili zinokuba ngenxa yokuba zifuna ukuya ngaphandle, kodwa ukuba umsila wenja yakho uyashukuma oko kuthetha ukuba bakuphosile. 'Ukushukuma kuthetha ukuba bonwabile kwaye banemincili, utsho uGqr. Cobb. 'Izinja ziya kuhlala zishukumisa imisila yazo njengophawu lothando ukuba ziyakuvuyela ukukubona xa ufika ekhaya.'
Izinto zepenny kumthi wedola
Inja Yakho Ikujongile
Ukudibana kwamehlo ixesha elide ebantwini kunokuba yinto eyoyikisayo, kodwa uGqr. Cobb uthi libali elahluke ngokupheleleyo ngamantshontsho—yaye linokubonisa uthando. 'Kuninzi ukufana phakathi kwabantwana [abangekakwazi ukuthetha] nezinja. Unokubajonga nje emehlweni uze ubaxelele ukuba abaziva mnandi na, okanye bonwabile okanye bonwabile. Ziyakwazi ukuyibona ngenkangeleko eyahlukileyo into ezama ukudlulisela inja.'
yintoni engaphaya kwenyama
Bakunika i-Hugs kunye / okanye i-Kisses
UGqr. Cobb uthi xa injana yakho ikukhotha, ayisoloko ibangelwa kukuba unokutya okushiyekileyo esandleni okanye ebusweni. Uthi, 'Izinja ziyaphuza. Ngumboniso wothando. Izinja ezininzi nazo ziyakugona.' UGqr. Cobb uthi lo mboniso wothando unokubangelwa ngumama wabo xa bengamantshontsho (njengokuwakhotha nokuwacoca) okanye inja yakho ingathatha izalathiso kwindlela oyibonisa ngayo uthando (njengokuyicela ukuba ikunike. ukuncamisa, okanye ukubathwala) nokuzama ukuyiphindaphinda.
Inja Yakho Ikuncumele
A 2012 isifundo iqinisekise into esele iyazi uninzi lwabathandi bezinja: Iintsana zethu ezinoboya zinolwazi kunye neemvakalelo ezifana nezomntu. UGqr. Cobb uthi, 'Izinja zihlakaniphile kwaye ziyakwazi ukuthetha kakhulu.' Uncumo lwenja yakho lunokuthetha izinto ezininzi-ukusuka eluthandweni ukuya ekubeni novalo-kodwa sonke sinokuvuma ukuba iyathandeka kakhulu. UGqr. Cobb uthi, 'Sinezinja [kugqirha wezilwanyana] ezincumayo; sikubiza ngokuba sisinekile. Ezinye zazo zenzelwe inja. Yeyona nto intle kwezakha zakho.'
