Usuku Lwekati Lokuhlenga Lwamazwe Ngamazwe

By Shelby G

Ukube wawungibuza ukuthi ngiyinja noma ngiyikati ngaze ngaba neminyaka engu-20, ngangizothi ngingumuntu wezinja. Ungangizwa kabi, ngangingakaze ngingawathandi amakati! Ama-boxer, ama-chihuahua, abelusi baseJalimane, ama-bulldog ase-French, ama-mutts nokuningi - kwakuyinto engangikhule ngayo, ngakho-ke kwakuyimpendulo yemvelo kimi.

Lapho ngithuthela ekolishi, enye yezinguquko ezinzima kakhulu ukujwayela ukungabi nazinja eduze. Kwakungekho muntu owayengibingelela ngenjabulo lapho ngifika ekhaya, noma eceleni kwami ​​ngethemba lokuthi ngizowisa okuthile lapho ngidla isidlo sakusihlwa. Njengesipho sami sosuku lokuzalwa lapho ngiba neminyaka engama-20, nganquma ukuya endaweni yokukhosela izilwane futhi ekugcineni ngamukela isilwane sami esifuywayo ukuze ngihlale nginaye. Angazi ukuthi kungani, kodwa ngokushesha ngaya esigabeni lapho okwakugcinwe khona amakati. Ngangivulekele ikati, impela, kodwa ngangazi ukuthi cishe ngizogoduka nenja.

Ngokubona njengoba lokhu okuthunyelwe kumayelana noSuku Lwekati Lomhlaba Wonke Lokuhlenga, ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi ungaqagela ukuthi yini egcine yenzeka.

Elinye lamakati okuqala engawabona kwakuyi-tuxedo enhle eyaqala ukugudla ingilazi lapho ngidlula, inethemba lokuthi izonakwa. Igama lakhe libhalwe ukuthi “Gilligan.” Ngemva kokuzungeza igumbi nokubuka wonke amakati, angikwazanga ukumkhipha engqondweni yami uGilligan, ngakho ngabuza omunye wezisebenzi zokukhosela ukuthi ngingakwazi yini ukuhlangana naye. Basibeka endaweni encane yesingeniso, futhi ngabona ukuthi wayenelukuluku, enobungane, futhi emnandi kangakanani. Wayezulazula ekamelweni ehlohla yonke into encane, bese, athathe ikhefu ukuze ahlale emathangeni ami futhi acwebe njengenjini. Ngemva kwemizuzu engaba ngu-10, ngangazi ukuthi uyena.

Amaviki ambalwa okuqala noGilligan aye...ayathakazelisa. Wayenelukuluku lokufuna ukwazi ekhaya njengoba ayesendaweni yokukhosela futhi wachitha izinsuku ezimbalwa zokuqala ehlola futhi ezama ukungena kukho konke ayengakwenza. Ngathola ukuthi wayehlakaniphe ngendlela ecasulayo futhi ekwazi ukuvula wonke amakhabethe nekhabethe efulethini (ngisho namadrowa akhiphayo angenasibambo!). Ukufihla ukudla nezibiliboco lapho engakutholi kwaba umdlalo, futhi mina ngokuvamile ngangingehluleki. Wayekhipha izinto engigqokile nasemashalofini ukuze angivuse ekuseni, futhi ebusuku, wayesondeza endlini. Ngacabanga ukuthi ngizolahlekelwa umqondo wami ngizama ukuqonda indlela asebenza ngayo umzimba wakhe kanye nokuziphatha kwakhe - wayehluke kakhulu kunezinja engangizijwayele!

Kuwo wonke ama-negative, nokho, bekukhona okuhle. Manje ngase nginomngane ongaguquki njalo, futhi umsindo wakhe onomsindo onjengenjini waba umsindo oduduzayo omhlophe. Engake ngacabanga ukuthi kuwukungalungi kanye nokuziphatha okuxakile kwalindeleka futhi kwahlekisa, futhi ngakhula ngihleleke kakhulu kusukela ekufundeni ngasebenza ngokuhambisana nelukuluku nobuhlakani bakhe. UGill waba yisithunzi sami. Wayengilandela ikamelo negumbi ukuze aqiniseke ukuthi akaphuthelwa yilutho, futhi wayengumzingeli wezimbungulu ogunyaziwe owayezosusa noma yiziphi izinambuzane ezazineshwa lokungena efulethini. Ngakwazi ukuphumula. ngaphezulu, futhi ezinye zezikhathi engangizikhonzile zosuku kwakungenkathi sibuka izinyoni efasiteleni ndawonye. Okubaluleke kakhulu, amazinga wami wokucindezeleka nempilo yengqondo yaba ngcono kakhulu ngokuba naye eduze.

Bekukhona ijika lokufunda, kepha ukuthatha uGilligan bekungesinye sezinqumo ezinhle kakhulu engake ngazenza. Njalo ngonyaka ngosuku lwakhe lokutholwa, u-Gill uthola izibiliboco kanye nethoyizi elisha lokumbungaza ngokuza kwakhe empilweni yami nokungibonisa ukuthi empeleni ngingumuntu wekati.

Ngomhla zi-2 kuNdasa, i-International Rescue Cat Day izogujwa okwesihlanu kusukela laqala ukunakwa ngo-2019. I-ASPCA ilinganisela ukuthi izilwane ezingaba yizigidi ezingu-6.3 zingena ezindaweni zokukhosela e-United States minyaka yonke, futhi kulezo, cishe izigidi ezingu-3.2 zingamakati. (aspca.org/helping-people-pets/shelter-intake-and-surrender/pet-statistics)

I-International Rescue Cat Day ayihloselwe ukugubha amakati okusindisa kuphela, kodwa ukuqwashisa ngokutholwa kwekati. Kunezizathu eziningi zokwamukela amakati ezindaweni zokukhosela izilwane ngokumelene nokuya ezitolo zezilwane ezifuywayo noma abalimi. Amakati okukhosela ngokuvamile awabizi kangako, ubuntu bawo baziwa kangcono njengoba exhumana nezisebenzi zezindawo zokukhosela namavolontiya nsuku zonke, futhi izindawo zokukhosela eziningi zinikeza izilwane zazo noma imiphi imigomo, ukwelashwa, kanye nokuhlinzwa ezikudingayo ngaphambi kokuzithumela ekhaya ukuze ziyotholwa. Futhi, ukuthatha amakati ezindlini zokukhosela kusiza ukunciphisa ukuminyana futhi, kwezinye izimo, kungasindisa izimpilo zabo.

Kunamakati amaningi amangalisayo afana no-Gilligan laphaya adinga amakhaya nosizo, ngakho-ke cabanga ukugubha uSuku Lwamazwe Ngamazwe Lokuhlenga Ikati kulo nyaka ngokuvolontiya endaweni yangakini yokukhosela izilwane, unikele emaqenjini okuhlenga amakati afana ne-Denver's Dumb Friends League kanye ne-Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue. , noma (inketho engiyithandayo) ukuthatha ikati lakho!
