Pet Adoption

Day has appeared under tragical circumstances in our house. Day is a hybrid of the wolf and the sheep-dog. Day’s history is full of adventures and tragic element. Its mum lived in village. And it has run away in a wood in the winter. All have solved that it was lost. But she has returned in a week. And then it puppies were born in two months. From all puppies has survived only two. Puppies Mum was good, but their owner was not such. The owner has presented someone оne puppy and I know nothing about its destiny more. And the owner has left Day to himself. When Day was one year old, the owner has found somewhere the lost dog and has removed from it a collar. I do not wish to make comments on this act. The God is his judge. But the owner has not stopped on it. It has dressed this collar to Day. I think, nobody will surprise, that problems with Days health have begun quickly. The owner has not thought to address to the doctor for the help. When Day’s body has turned to a continuous ulcer, the owner has addressed for the help to my husband. He knew that my husband is the hunter. He has asked my husband to kill Day. My husband has redeemed Day at the owner. My husband has brought a dog home. It is sadly to me to recollect this history. It was more ten years ago. I remember what, Days look was. It had very simple disease - deprive. Deprive with a rare kind but giving in to treatment. We have rescued a dog. I think, we were helped by strong immunity of the dog, got to it from the wolf. I am not assured that any dog could survive in such condition and to recover so fast. But in two months we could give Day to people who have started to build a cottage. I hope that the further destiny of a dog has developed successfully. And I till now regret, that could not leave Day to myself. It was a good dog. But wolf’s habits looked through in all. It not willingly communicated with another’s dogs. It ignored them. And another’s dogs were afraid of Day. I did not go to walk Day on the dog platform. We walked Day in a field far behind the city. Then we lived on to edge of city and we had such opportunity. Day behaved not how dogs in a field behave. It lowered a head as the wolf. It investigated all field a method of “shuttle”. It found many hares. But, for some reason, Day always implicitly responded to call. Was enough loud to call it and it immediately stopped a pursuit. It seems to me, that it has understood very well, from what trouble we have rescued it. It did not pay attention to something in the city. It was not interested in people at a stop which was loudly indignant that there is a wolf. It was not interested in escaping cats. It was not disturbed with squeal of brakes of cars when stopped to find out, whether the truth is the wolf. It went with the owner. And all of its attention has been concentrated to its owner. And its look unequivocally spoke, that it will allow nobody even to look at the owner badly. It has implicitly recognized Ara’s leadership of the House. During that time Ara had puppies and Day did not challenge Ara’s authority at all. Day concerned with tenderness to Masha. Day liked to concern with its nose. It was similar to kisses. It was pleasant to Masha too. The kind of Chita (it was dwarfish dog) has surprised Day. Day has not understood who it was: Adult dog ог the puppy or may be it is not a dog in general. Day preferred to let Chita pass. Day was in general friendly. I do not know what it became after. It was a pity to us to leave it, we liked Day very much, in a consequence we were never solved even to call to its new owners. What was a nice dog! I am glad, that it was in our life, in our house. And I am very glad, that I could tell you about it.

I consider what to hold houses of wild animals, at least, not humanely. In my mind to hold wild animals in the house, at least, it is not humanely. I am against their maintenance in the house. Their house is a wood, a field, open space … But sometimes the life solves on another way. There were squirrel, hedgehog and a hybrid of the wolf and the sheep-dog in my house. The first in my life has appeared squirrel. It was a long time ago. I was 16 years old. My younger sister has brought squirrel to our home from school. Our school was closed on a vacation and someone should take care of squirrel. That why my sister has brought squirrel to home. I did not meet more stupid essence in my life. We have solved, that it is not humane to hold squirrel in a cage. It has limited freedom. Squirrel ran on apartment. It was not afraid of people. It did not concern to people with due respect. People were only convenient transport for it. It liked to jump on the person from above and to go on him. And it did not disturb at all, that such behaviour do not like people. When it has tried to train, it has bitten through the big finger on a hand to my friend. It has brought an infection in a wound. My friend was ill more than month. Everybody has started to be afraid of my squirrel after this case. And when it has run away through a door of the open balcony, all were only glad. I do not wish to tell lies; I shall tell fairly, anybody has not gone to search squirrel at all. I am not against squirrel. These are lovely essences. But I recollect with shudder that squirrel till now. I do not wish to see more these charming monsters in my house.
My friends have presented me a hedgehog. More truly, have presented on birthday to my son. I do not know what bad we have made for them? They have not told us “why”. But to present the hedgehog in the house where there lived three dogs it is possible only as revenge. The hedgehog was engaged in revenge. It was in 1993. Since then the world was shaken with many terrible events. And if hedgehog has presented us in 2003, I would name it kamikaze or the condemned man. It was the fearless hedgehog, and it revenged fearlessly. But for some reason object of revenge it has chosen our dogs. Poor ours boxer Masha. It was the kindest essence. Very quiet, defenceless essence. With very gentle soul and a body. The hedgehog played with her so. When Masha fell asleep, it crept to her back. Crept with special way - a backing. There was with sleepy Masha close back to back and sharply included a backing. Poor Masha! To feel an injection at least ten prickles!.. That occurred further, try to imagine. But since then Masha long tried to fall asleep or on a sofa or having hidden a back in any corner. The hedgehog liked to not admit Ara to a bowl with meal. Ara was very severe dog. Big, strong, terrible! But it was very well trained dog. She understood, that those who lives in the house - friends, and it is impossible to offend them. And how you will offend the hedgehog? More shortly when my husband has brought the hedgehog to a forest we have arranged a real holiday. I do not wish to see hedgehogs in my house. Only in the country house in the evenings as receiving visitors.

Now Dan has a problem with his weight more truly, with loss of his weight. The analysis of his blood was good. I have started to make to Dan a rate of injections of vitamin B. This method has helped Grey. But to Dan is not. I thought a long time what can I do. That happens. Then I have seen that Dan painfully reacts to touches in the field of kidneys. Then it became clear, where a source of a problem. If kidneys the organism does not acquire a protein inflame. The protein is removed with urine from an organism. And the animal starts to grow thin quickly and strongly. I began to give Dan broths of diuretic grasses and homeopathist means (cantharides, silicea and arnica Montana), necessary at problems with kidneys… I have entered into a diet products with a large content of a protein. All yielded excellent results. Dan began to come to norm. I want to make even better. I have bought dry forage with the raised contents of a protein. And it was a mistake. The dry forage at all does not suit for a dog, at which problem with kidneys. Even forage of the best mark. Even in a small amount. It is good, that I attentively watched Dan. At the slightest deterioration of a condition of Dan I have cleaned dry forage from the menu. And Dan began to recover again. Its states of health began to improve. It began to collect weight. It has not recovered yet, but his health improves every day.

Do not leave dogs in your car sending in the nearest pub. Such mistake was made by a certain inhabitant of Canada. The dog sat-sat, and then from boredom has suddenly started his car! While it moved down on roads from a hill, the casual pedestrian has seen the car with black dog driving it and has called police.
Policemen at once have arrived on a place. There they have found out the lorry standing in the middle road and blocking traffic. The dog was still sitting as a driver of a car. As a result of incident anybody including “driver”, has not suffered. However, while remains not clear as the dog could learn rules of traffic.
And our dogs could suit to themselves the true party. On an integrated poultry farm located in the next small town, there was an accident. There have switched off electricity. The part of production has become unfit for use. Conditions of storage of meat have been disturbed. After that meat could not be started up in realization for people. But it was suitable for feeding dogs. Farmers knew, that we have a plenty of dogs. They sold it under very low price. Therefore workers of factory have called to us and have suggested buying from them this production. We were delighted very much. Not often it is possible to indulge our pets. We have bought a lot of meat. Three hundred kg. We have brought it home. My husband and I began to unload the car. Have brought home first two boxes, have put them on kitchen. We have followed other boxes. While we went to the car and have returned, dogs could close a door of an apartment from within. They have closed it on an internal latch. While we tried to open a door, they divided two boxes of a hen. There where two boxes on twelve kg. It means Twenty four kg of a hen on four dogs. And then they ate them with huge appetite. Loudly champing and crackling bones. And we heard all. And we could make nothing because we have a reliable door. And it was completely not simple to open it. When we have got in an apartment, I have not found out my dogs. Try to imagine the dog in which six kg of meat lays. And now try to imagine such four dogs sitting next with each other …. They sat because to stand they could not any more. Their paws caved in from weight. And eyes were closed. And in their eyes full intoxication was visible only. They fell asleep. They wished to sleep only. But dogs have not fallen asleep because the God punishes those who eat much and me too. The most part of that night we have lead in the street on the dog platform. Thanks you, my dear dogs, for superb night!
The most terrible in this history these: when we left to unload the car, the Barbarian slept in a children’s room. The handle of a door of this room is the round form. And the Barbarian cannot open it. It could not accept participation in this party. It sat under a door and loudly barked. It was in fury when we have let out it from a room. I have given the Barbarian the hen from a new box.
Comments of Kira: well why all the most interesting has happened before my birth!…

Every year dictates a new fashion in clothes to us. Every spring people (especially the best half of mankind) open doors of cases and understand that they have resolutely nothing to dress.
All of this has already got out of fashion, morally has become outdated. Dog lovers do not have such problems. Thanks for it to our pets. In the beginning of each season dog lovers (especially their best half) opens doors of cases and understands, that they can dress only jeans, summer trousers or bridges. You can put on your shorts not every day. If you cheerfully plaid about your favourite yesterday the problem of a choice «mini» or «maxi» does not exist for you the nearest week. Bruises on your legs have solved all. Kapron stockings are badly compatible to cats and dogs of fine breeds. The stockings do not maintain “close” dialogue with your smaller brothers. During a seasonal moult of your house miracle you are forced to refuse light clothes. You can carry all clothes from a thin material. But to meet your dog which weighs 50 kg, I do not recommend for you. You should choose what to put on trial: feelings of a dog to which do not allow expressing the pleasure to the full, or your new thing which obviously is not calculated on such loadings. Certainly, if you have well trained dog, you have considerably less problems. You can walk it even in footwear on high heels, in a miniskirt. And in the thinnest stockings which can be in the world. But it should be dark tones if your pet fades. And clothes from a fabric of type of a velvet and velveteen are impossible, even if yours dog is the champion on trainings. I prefer jeans, trousers, sports shirts and not so trained, but direct dog near to me. I do not like dogs-biorobots. And may be, I simply search for justifications to myself. Simply I put things in order in the case today. Cleaned old things and removed the moth. I have understood that practically all my clothes are sustained in practical, sports style. It is a little sad. But it is convenient very much.

Comments of Kira: There is no meter to be sad! Superfluous overalls is superfluous problems. Do, as your husband advises you: throw away from a case all your old cloths and from your head - silly ideas.

I have a silver boxer. It is Varvara. She is 10 years old and shi is gray-haired. But we don’t want to call her gray-haired, we call her “silver” girl. The old dog always caused in me special feelings. The dog, who has given all life to me, is worth the biggest attention. Her sight is not so good. She has problems with hearing. Metabolism is not in the best form too. Some dogs grow thin strongly and lose appetite. Varvara has gone another way. She began to increase the weight. Now the main task for Varvara - to eat something once again. If she will notice, that somebody has gone on kitchen, she runs after him. At this time she looks as a dog that is ready to fall in a hungry faint. We especially for this purpose have prepared crackers. Usual dietary bread cut slices and dried it up. And now, when Varvara looks at us especially hungry eyes, she receives a cracker. I have never had such soft and chubby dog. Thus Varvara tries to be always near to me. It seems to me, that thus she tries to provide to herself guarantees, that if she will have a problem, she will be helped to solve it. She does not feel ready to solve all the problems any more. Now she allows caring of herself. She accepts any care. She was very independent dog before. She behaved as the puppy only with the owner. She played any games. Overturned on a back, allowing the owner to scratch her stomach. Jumped with joy at a meeting of the owner. For all others she showed faultless manners of behaviour of the lady. And now it is simple very kind house dog. She actively searches for contact to any person. Willingly accepts the help from any person. I understand that events develop correct by. That any organism all over again is born, develops and after dies away. It is correct. But for me sadly to see, that the peak of blossoming for Varvara has already passed.

Comments of Kira: She is my mother.

No, it is not simply heat in the street. There is scorching heat in the street. My dogs do not walk in the street in the afternoon. If you try to entice them on street, they stick into a floor all claws. They can be moved only using force and only in the fallen asleep position. Because they will not rearrange paws. They will cling to all conceivable and inconceivable obstacles by these paws. They will fall on a floor with a look of died dog. And they will look thus as though they have died yesterday. They can be enticed from an apartment with ice-cream. But in the lift they usually already eat up ice-cream. They will not leave an entrance. If I would have one dog, maybe, I still tried something to make. I do not cope with four dogs. I have surrendered. Let to themselves houses in a shadow on a draft till the evening lay. If they do not require walks, what for to create to myself superfluous problems?

Comments of Kira: We do not need to walk!!! We need to lay in a shadow…

And again about Gray. He has puzzled us with a new problem now. He began to grow thin sharply. Structure of forage was improved for him. He refused to eat at all. All necessary analyses were made. All analyses are satisfactory. Time of walks was increased for him. We thought that so his appetite will increase. Grey has grown thin even more. Special cocktails with the increased contents of a protein have been bought for Grey. There was at him an allergy on this cocktail. All have tried to make to cure Grey. The decision has come absolutely casually. And not from that side from which it was waited. It has appeared, that Grey there are no vitamins of group “B”. Especially B1, B6, B12. Grey recently was ill. His liver has suffered. And the dog in such situation requires the increased quantity of vitamins of group “B”. As these vitamins do not collect in an organism, they should be absorbed constantly with food. It is a lot of them in a crude liver, the eggs, progrown grains of wheat, cod-liver oil. It is possible to use medicines and medicamentous vitamins. These preparations are on sale in a drugstore.
So, if your dog has lost appetite, do not hurry to feed it with delicacies. Probably rate of injections of vitamins of group “B” will help your dog? Anyway they will not bring harm. Surplus of vitamins is washed away from an organism by water. You do not risk.
