Iingcambu zomlando zale ntlobo ziya eNgilani ngekhulu le-16 leminyaka. Abalimi beenja zesiNgesi kwi-Middle Ages badalwa izinja ezincinci zokuzingela - i-terriers. Olu luhlobo lwalubizwa ngokugqithiseleyo ukuzingela iigulane ezincinci, nazo zazihlala zisetyenziselwa kwimincintiswano yeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokubamba iirati. Kodwa iBrithani isondele kwi-17 leminyaka, yalela ukuba kukhuphiswano olunjalo.
Ukugqithiswa kakhulu kulolu hlobo kwavela ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-19, xa iYurophu yonke ifunde nge-terriers. Le mimoto yayingenakuthobeka kangangokuba abaninzi bathandana. Ubukhulu obuncinci, uthando olungenammiselo kunye nokuzinikela kumnini wayo, ukungathobeli kokutya, kude nezo zonke iindidi zodidi.
Ezi zinja eRussia malunga nexesha elifanayo zanikwa umsebenzi, njengaseYurophu. Ezi "ziqhekeza" zazithandwa yizityebi, zazikhonza njengemihlobiso yasekhaya, kunye neentsapho ezinomvuzo othobekileyo, kuba ukugcinwa kwama-terriers kwakudinga ixabiso elincinci. Intsana ekhawulezayo kwaye eqaqambileyo yinyanisekile kumnini, kubahlali abangaqinisekanga ukuba nawaphi na amakhaya "yindlela efanelekileyo ye-alarm". Ngenxa yobungakanani be-compact, ezi zizinzi aziyi kudala iingxaki ngexesha lokuya e-dacha, ngexesha leeholide, umnini walo ungananto kwizenzo zakhe.
Ngenxa yobukhulu babo, babethandwa ngabafazi behlabathi be-19 leminyaka, ababehlala behlala kwiindawo eziphakamileyo, bephethe inja enhle kwiingalo zabo.
Akukho nto ishintshile ukususela ngoko. Ngokuqhelekileyo sinokubukela ezandleni zababhiyozeli bobabini bezentengiso zasekhaya nakwamanye amazwe ezi ntaka ezimangalisayo. Ezi zivuthu zihamba kunye nabantu abadumileyo kwimibutho nakwiintlanganiso zoluntu. Emva koko umbuzo uvela, kutheni le nto? Kutheni uphathe isilwanyana kule mi sebenzi? Mhlawumbi, emva kokubukela udumo lwabantu bezinye izizwe uPeris Hilton, abaninzi abalandeli bakhe abanqwenela ukumxelisa, bathenga iintsana baze babakhuphe ngaphandle.
Akukho mntu wacinga ngabo, njengoko izilwanyana zabo zihlala zixakekile, iziganeko zomsindo. Kwaye abantu abaninzi, ukuthenga inja yintsana, abayiyiqonda imbopheleleko de kube sekupheleni, abayithatha yona. Baphila ngomgaqo wokuba ukuba uyimfashini, kufuneka uyithathe. Isalathisi esinjalo sisetyenzisiwe ngabanini abaninzi belo thuba. Kodwa konke oku kukhohlakeleyo malunga nezi zilwanyana.
Emva koko, umntu oqale inja ngomgaqo othi "uyimfashini, yikho ke ndiyifunayo," uyifumana isilwanyana saso malunga nokuphangwa kwezilwanyana zayo, ukwenzela unyango olungalunganga kunye nezinye izinto ezimbi, apho kungekho ndlela ekhulisayo.
Umntu owaqalile inja ngokwakhe, kungekhona nje "njengomntu onobonakaliso," unembopheleleko yokunyamekela kwakhe nemfundo. Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba inja ayiyona into yokudlala, kodwa isidalwa esiphilayo. Kufuneka ihlonishwe, kufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo, kwaye ingadluliselwa kuyo kwaye icaciswe.
Abo baqala loo mhlaba, abanakuze bamkhathalele. Akunakwenzeka ukuba ungayithandi. Emva kokubheka okokuqala kulaba bazinikeleyo amehlo amakhulu, unokwakhela uthando kuye ubomi. Kuyo yonke into ibangela iimvakalelo ezifudumayo: isimo esinomdla, ubungakanani obukhulu, ukubukeka okuthakazelisayo.
Akuyena wonke umntu onokukwazi ukuthenga inja encinane yalo mhlanga. Kula manani aguqukayo ukusuka kwi-1000 kuya kwi-1500 zama-euro, axabisa, kodwa ayafaneleka.
Umhlobo wam osondeleyo unenja yalolu hlobo, wayephupha inja malunga neminyaka emithandathu ubudala. Xa ekwazi ukuzithengela yona, kwakungekho umda wovuyo. Ngoku i-Marseau, sele isele ngonyaka kunye nesiqingatha. Akazange azizisole ngokuba wayefumene lo buncwane. Nsuku zonke uyamangalisa kwaye uyamvuyisa. Isisindo sakhe ngoku esinye isiqingatha kunye nesiqingatha kilogram, enesayizi encinci, uzive engummangaliso, inja enkulu kwaye umele ngesibindi ekukhuseleni indlu yakhe, nasekukhuseleni inkosikazi. Kwaye, ngaphezu koko, unomdla kakhulu kwaye unomusa, unokuhlala ehlaziya amalungu entsapho yakhe yonke, unokuhlala ezisola. Emva kwakho konke, inja, njengabantu, apha kubalulekile ukuphawula oku, unobomi babo. Ndadibana nezinye izinja zalolu hlobo, kodwa bezingekho zobubele njengenja yomhlobo wam.
