Gary Weitzman akaona zvese kubva kuhuku kuenda kumaiguana kusvika kumabhuru. Muanopfuura makumi maviri emakore sechiremba wemhuka, akagadzira nzira dzekurapa zvirwere zvakajairika uye matambudziko ehunhu mune anofambidzana mhuka, uye akanyora bhuku umo anoburitsa ruzivo rwake uye anopindura mibvunzo inonyanya kufarirwa nezvemhuka dzinovaraidza. Iye zvino mukuru weSan Diego Humane Society, Gary Weitzman anotarisira kuburitsa ngano dzakajairika nezvemhuka dzinovaraidza, sekuti katsi dziri nyore kuchengeta semhuka dzinovaraidza kupfuura imbwa uye kuti nzvimbo dzekugara mhuka hadzisi “nzvimbo dzinosuwisa.”
Chinangwa chekunyora bhuku rako ndechei?
Kwemakore akawanda, ndave ndichishungurudzwa nematambudziko anosangana nevanhu mukuchengeta mhuka dzavo dzinovaraidza dzine utano. Handisi kuedza kutsiva chiremba wemhuka nebhuku rino, ndinoda kudzidzisa vanhu matauriro ezvipfuyo kuitira kuti vabatsire mhuka dzavo dzinovaraidza kurarama hupenyu huri nani.
Ndeapi matambudziko ekuchengeta mhuka dzinovaraidza dzine hutano?
Chekutanga pane zvese, kuwanikwa kweveterinary care maererano nenzvimbo uye mutengo. Kana vanhu vazhinji vachiwana chipfuwo, mari inokwanisika yekuchengeta chipfuyo chavo kazhinji inodarika zvinofungwa nevanhu. Mutengo wacho unogona kurambidza anenge munhu wese. Mubhuku rangu, ndinoda kubatsira vanhu kuturikira zvinotaurwa navarapi vemhuka kuti vakwanise kuita sarudzo yakanaka.
Utano hwemhuka hachisi chakavanzika. Chokwadi, mhuka hadzigoni kutaura, asi munzira dzakawanda dzakafanana nesu padzinoshata. Vane kushaya kudya, kurwadza kwemakumbo, mapundu eganda, nezvimwe zvakawanda zvatinazvo.
Mhuka hadzigoni kutiudza kuti zvakatanga rini. Asi kazhinji vanoratidza pavanoramba vachinzwa zvakaipa.
Hapana anoziva chipfuwo chako zviri nani kupfuura iwe. Kana iwe ukanyatsomutarisa, iwe unogara uchiziva kana chipfuwo chako chisiri kunzwa zvakanaka.
Pane maonero asiriwo akajairika pamusoro pemhuka dzinovaraidza here?
Zvamazvirokwazvo. Vanhu vazhinji vakabatikana pabasa vanosarudza kutora katsi panzvimbo yembwa, sezvo vasingadi kufambiswa kana kuburitswa. Asi katsi dzinoda kutariswa kwako nesimba sezvakangoita imbwa. Imba yako ndiyo nyika yavo yese! Iwe unofanirwa kuve nechokwadi chekuti nharaunda yavo haivadzvinyiriri.
Ndezvipi zvimwe zvinhu zvekufunga nezvazvo usati wawana chipfuwo?
Zvakakosha kuti usamhanyire. Tarisa matumba. Zvirinani, shanyira nzvimbo dzekugara kuti ubatane nemhuka dzerudzi rwako rwaunosarudza. Vanhu vazhinji vanosarudza rudzi maererano netsanangudzo uye havafungi mamiriro ezvinhu chaiwo. Nzvimbo zhinji dzekugara dzinogona kukubatsira kuti usarudze kuti ndechipi chipfuyo chiri nani uye kuti chii chaunofanira kuita kuti chirambe chichifara uye chine hutano. Kana kuti zvimwe uchawana chipfuwo chako ipapo uye haungadzokeri kumba usina iye.
Iwe pachako wakagamuchira mhuka ine zvinodiwa zvakakosha. Sei?
Jake, German Shepherd ane makore gumi nemana, imbwa yangu yechitatu ine makumbo matatu. Ndakadzitora padzaive nemakumbo mana. Jake ndiye ega wandabvuma aine vatatu. Ndakamutora mushure mekumuchengeta achiri kambwanana.
Kushanda muzvipatara nepekugara, kazhinji hazvibviri kudzokera kumba usina imwe yemhuka idzi dzakakosha. Imbwa dzangu mbiri dzekupedzisira, imwe yandaive nayo pandakatora Jake (saka unogona kufungidzira kutaridzika kwandakawana ndichifamba imbwa mbiri dzine makumbo matanhatu!) Dzaive greyhounds dzakaita kenza yemapfupa. Izvi zvinonyanya kuzivikanwa mune greyhounds.
Mushure mekupedza nguva yakawanda mudzimba dzemhuka, pane here chaunoda kuti vaverengi vazive nezvenzvimbo dzekugara dzemhuka?
Mhuka dziri mudzimba dzinowanzogadzirwa dzakachena uye dzinogadzira mhuka dzinovaraidza dzakanakisa. Ndinoda kubvisa nhema dzekuti misha yenherera inzvimbo dzinosiririsa dzinonhuhwa nhamo. Kunze kwemhuka, hongu, nzvimbo yakanakisisa yepokugara vanhu. Vese vakazvipira uye vanoda kubatsira nyika. Pandinouya kubasa mazuva ose, ndinogara ndichiona vana nevazvipiri vachitamba nemhuka. Iyi inzvimbo yakanaka!
