Ruby: jedno sretno štene!

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Jednog lijepog sunčanog dana u ožujku, jedno sretno štene došetalo je u Jelsu popiti kavu sa svojim novim vlasnicima.

Ruby je još jedna uspješna priča iz Centra za životinje Bestie u Kaštel Sućurcu. Navodno je skupa sa svojom braćom i sestrama ostavljena u masliniku i odvedena u Sklonište. Tada zvana Lily, udomila ju je jedna od predanih volonterki Skloništa.

Nije trebalo dugo da osvoji srca ljubitelja životinja, Nina i Diane, koji su je prekrstili u Ruby. Upravo su se smjestili u Starom Gradu na otoku Hvaru sa željom da tamo pokrenu posao. Rubyin posjet Jelsi 17. ožujka 2020. uslijedio je samo tri dana nakon što su je udomili njeni novi, vrlo brižni vlasnici, i očito se snašla.
 
Brzo se počela zanimati za svoje novo okruženje, njušeći nove mogućnosti iz sigurnosti svoje novopronađene 'parcele'.

Lajala je žestoko, ali bojažljivo kako bi se obranila od ljubitelja životinja koji su se pokušavali sprijateljiti s njom, držeći se što bliže svojim odabranim dvonožnim roditeljima. To je vjerojatno rezultat njezinih prijašnjih iskustva, ali i želje da 'zaštiti' svoje nove skrbnike.

Već u tih nekoliko dana, Ruby je stvorila snažnu, trajnu vezu sa svojom novom obitelji. Nakon izvršenih obaveza, Dianu je dočekala Ruby poskakujući od oduševljenja - istovremeno otkrivajući svoju tjeskobu što je Diana napustila obitelj. Suočena sa strancem koji drži kameru, pogled joj je bio malo sumnjičav.

Brzo se prestala zamarati ovim neobičnim upadom u njezin privatni prostor kada je shvatila da nema opasnosti za njene dvonožne roditelje. Psi razmišljaju drugačije od nas dvonožaca. Uzrok ogromnom entuzijazmu koji pokažu kad nas nakon rastanka ponovno vide, koliko god taj entuzijazam kratak bio, često je njihovo uvjerenje da su oni odgovorni za naše dobro. Kada se to dogodi, govorimo o zamjeni uloga, kada ljubimac osjeća da je i da mora biti gazda. Kako bi se odnos ispravio, vlasnici ljubimaca moraju pokazati da su oni glavni, tako da nema potrebe da se pas brine. Nježnost je ključna
 
Iskusni dreseri pasa preporučuju samo nekoliko strategija:
- ignorirajte nepoželjno ponašanje što je više moguće,
- svakako izbjegavajte bilo kakvu vrstu fizičkog kažnjavanja;
- izbjegavajte napast da psa mazite u svakom mogućem trenutku, ali dobro ponašanje nagradite prigodnom nagradom ili poslasticom, te lijepim riječima;
- uvijek jedite prije hranjenja ljubimca;
- naučite svog ljubimca da čeka nakon što odložite zdjelicu s hranom sve dok ne date znak da može jesti;
- ignorirajte svog ljubimca kada ga ostavljate jer izlazite vani ili kada se vraćate, bez obzira koliko se trudio privući vašu pažnju;
- i kada ga izvodite vani, uvijek prvi prođite kroz vrata ili kapiju i neka pričeka da slijedi.
 
Diana i Nino rade sve točno, kako bi pomogli Ruby napredovati, a Ruby uzvraća ljubavlju, odanošću i povjerenjem. Ona će zasigurno nagraditi svoje roditelje s puno zabave i distrakcije tijekom ovog razdoblja čekanja da kriza Covid-19 nestane, dok ponovno ne pokrenu svoj novi posao. Eco Hvar ovom novoformiranom partnerstvu želi puno sreće! Puno hvala svima koji su pomogli da se budućnost ove male skitnice iz tmurne pretvori u svijetlu.

  • Exclusive: Campaign group’s analysis of North Yorkshire plans finds datacentre would have to burn 4.9m tonnes of wood a year

    Drax’s planned datacentre could produce nearly double the emissions of all flights out of Gatwick airport each year by burning 4.9m tonnes of wood annually, an analysis has shown.

    Campaigners say this would make it “one of the dirtiest datacentres out there”.

  • Prime minister tells delegates in Tuvalu and Fiji that ‘super El Niño’ brewing in the Pacific shows climate change is ‘here right now’

    Anthony Albanese has warned Australia faces a hazardous summer, likely including floods, cyclones and extreme heat, due to the immediate threat of climate breakdown and a rising “super El Niño”.

    Speaking alongside national leaders at a climate summit in Fiji, the prime minister said the expected nasty summer and the demonstrated impact on Pacific island countries – including low-lying Tuvalu – showed the world could not afford to let the goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C “just slip from our grasp”.

  • Party in England and Wales ditches commitment to phase out nuclear in major shift in its energy policy

    Green party members have voted to end the party’s opposition to nuclear power, dropping a commitment to phase out the technology in a major shift in its energy policy.

    The motion, adopted at conference, removes a “blanket opposition to nuclear fission” and instead commits the Green party of England and Wales to assessing nuclear projects alongside other low-carbon technologies.

  • An international symbol for the city, the sign is also hallmark of the region’s environmental richness

    Atop Mount Lee, in the heart of Los Angeles, the wind is quiet. Two red-tailed hawks sail above, barely flapping as they coast the thermal air like surfers on a wave. Standing beside the giant letters of the Hollywood sign, the city seems peaceful. On a clear day, blocks and blocks of homes unfold beneath and the skies reveal sights all the way to Catalina Island – nearly 50 miles out, across the Pacific.

    That’s the beauty seen from the Hollywood sign.

  • Combs Moss, Derbyshire: There is plenty to be gloomy about, but today was not the day for it up on the moor

    The morning was sunlit and the sky the sort of deepest blue dome that makes your heart sing – and all the louder for being at the time of least natural sound.

    Autumn is the most silent season for birds, but at least I could hear the passing meadow pipits more clearly as they came out of the blue in small numbers and crossed overhead on migration. There is something inherently melancholic about their plaintive piping calls, which seem at one with the mood of upland treeless places.

  • Exclusive: Cop31 leader calling for global curbs on climate-heating gas has landfills producing some of world’s worst plumes

    Two or three nights each week, the smell descends. Residents of villages on the rural outskirts of Istanbul don’t know what the smell is, but they have been plagued by it for years: a smell so bad they have to sleep with their windows closed even during hot summer nights. They know the source, too: the huge Silivri municipal waste dump a few miles away that is belching out stinking gases as food and other organic waste rots.

    “The smell is not subtle. It suffocates you,” said Kemalettin Özenç, sitting outside a tea shop in the village of Yolçatı. “It’s worse when the air is still: sometimes families linger until midnight out here. Even when you go inside it’s inescapable.”

  • As trawlers compete with Greenland sharks for halibut and cod, conservationists and fishers clash over what to do about misunderstood species

    ‘When I accidentally catch a shark, I bring it to my dogs,” Henrik Jensen, a 27-year-old from Greenland’s west coast, says casually. “I don’t let it back down because [the sharks] bully me and cut my lines.”

    Jensen has fished for halibut in Ilulissat, Greenland’s third largest town, for a decade. He works an hour north of the town’s main iceberg-laden fishery, which sustains the livelihood of nearly 400 fishers. There, the halibut are bigger and more plentiful, but so are the Greenland sharks.

  • The country’s far-right president is courting billionaire investors by removing a block on foreign ownership of land and natural resources

    On 19 September, Marta Sahores, an 84-year-old chemistry professor and activist who has mobilised against mega-mining projects for more than two decades, took to the streets in Argentina. Alongside workers, retirees, students, Indigenous groups and human rights organisations, Sahores was there to protest against the country’s far-right president, Javier Milei. During the marcha de la bronca – the “march of anger” – protesters held signs reading, among other rallying cries, “The land is not for sale”.

    Marching in Esquel, a town nestled in the foothills of the Andes in Chubut province, she also held up a sign defending the country’s water resources against what she called the government’s “handover” to investors.

  • My student house in Manchester had several thousand other occupants. Despite pest controllers regularly dousing the property, the glossy, greasy, relentless insects marched onwards, endlessly reproducing

    ‘You do know about the cockroaches?” I’ve forgotten most things people said to me in the 80s, but never that. It was said by one of the occupants of the student house in Longsight, Manchester, that I had signed up to live in the following year. When the landlord had shown me and my future housemates the property, the tenants had been out. He told us they were third years doing their finals and must not be disturbed under any circumstances. (What can I say? We were gullible back then.) Days before summer term ended though, I’d knocked on the door to show a friend where I’d be living. Instead, I learned that the house was infested.

    The weird thing is, we moved in anyway. In truth, although I understood this was very bad news, I didn’t quite realise what a cockroach was. There was no internet, so I would have had to go to a library to know what I know now: their march, their canter, their crunch if you step on one. Their soft, sweet, sour smell (uric acid which they store in their fat, apparently). Sometimes, in the back of a shop, or a restaurant loo, I catch that scent and I know what it is.

  • A statewide initiative pairs climate-focused coursework with community service – and is spreading to other states

    As a student at a high school not far from Denver’s main airport, Anthony Muñoz wondered whether the jet fuel from airplanes flying above his campus was harming living things.

    An avid gardener, Muñoz partnered with a local university to create a garden on the campus of his charter school, Vista Academy, filling it with native plants that could detect ground-level ozone pollution. He also worked with climate scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a federal office in nearby Boulder, who directed Muñoz on what data to collect, what the condition of leaves reveals about air quality and why milkweed matters for monarch butterfly migration.
