Until now, all house guards in Velga and Mihaila’s family have been raised from puppyhood, but the published advertisements about shelter dogs have inspired Velga to now give his love to one of the stepchildren in his life.
The daughter went to the shelter after another dog that Velga had seen, however, the shelter staff assured that the dog ladies Chika and Rika would be more suitable for the senior couple. At first, Velga and Mihails were afraid of the myth that two dogs at home is a lot, but in the end they agreed to welcome the two 10-year-old dog girls into the family.
They have spent their whole lives together, and after losing their owner, they lived in a shelter for two months.
Velga said: “When they appeared here at the gate, then I realized that they were my girls. My little girls. Such little ones… She was so thin. It was unpleasant to pet her. She had such a saw here. Her hind legs were one behind the other almost started.”
In the first days in the new home, the little dog ladies were a little scared,
sometimes they even yelled at their owners, but they quickly understood and realized that a completely different – happy life had begun for them.
In the beginning, Chika and Rika had a fight with each other even for food, and they ate everything in turn – even tangerines, oranges, nuts and cucumbers. However, both quickly realized that they will not lack anything here. Not food, not love and warmth of the heart.
“For example, Chiku, if you pet her, she won’t go to the bowl either. Nothing more. She’s already so outgoing that she wants to be fed by hand. Of course we feed her. Selective. We bring milk from the farm. Bring it. From the beginning it used to drink milk. Now it sucks – no. You don’t need milk,” said the owner.
Besides, Chika had taken care of the meal in her paws at first. “She had swallowed a whole pupil. Then, of course, she gave it back. Everything as it is. As if swallowed alive. After a couple of days, I look – my little girl comes. She’s carrying something in her teeth. Give me her hand – she puts the pupil in my hand. She caught two pupils , little killer. My hunter,” said Velga.
Velga and Mihails admit that the dogs manipulate them to no end, and in less than half a year they have thoroughly spoiled their pets. Even though they now raise themselves and try not to react to the eyes that are always asking for a treat, Velga admits that the love and gratitude that dogs give to their owner is irreplaceable.
The landlady said: “Then where should I put that time for old age? They help me. I go out in the garden to rake leaves – they tell me that the leaves should go halfway, let’s say. The dog comes in, its paws have to be wiped. My husband’s back hurts all the time. But you have to wipe your paws – physical education. Otherwise, the house is empty. There is nothing. But now I have someone next to me all the time. I can’t even imagine living without these little creatures. My dear ones. You can see what they are like.”
Chika and Rika’s owners have been able to give them a happy old age, and as they themselves laugh, now they are four pensioners at home.
Seeing the loving eyes of her dogs, Velga invites everyone who wants a family pet to give a home and happiness to one of the shelter’s animals.
“Dear people – take the puppies! Let’s look into its eyes. And I think: the hearts of many will soften. The hands will not wear out. And there will never be too much caresses and love. Because they already give back. That’s right!” she said.
