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.
 
Ruby: „Nisam spremna nasmijati se za kameru". Slika: Vivian Grisogono
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.

  • Pedro Sánchez says next 12 hours will be ‘decisive’ in battle to contain wildfires – Europe live

    Authorities fear progress in containing the fires in the Gironde and Madrid regions may be set back by temperatures expected to hit the low 40s

    in Brussels

    The European Union’s crisis-management team is expecting difficult weeks ahead, fearing a further outbreak of wildfires in Italy and Greece as the summer goes on.

    “A firefighter will focus on protecting people. They will focus on protecting houses, protecting a business, a company, because this is something that matters for all our society. And indeed, sometimes by focusing on that, they cannot extinguish fire, [as] they would do it if it would be just forest.

    So this is new, this is worrying. And of course also, this means that we need to adapt our methods of fighting the fires.”

  • Caribbean bears brunt of £43bn climate-fuelled damage to developing islands

    Findings can inform conversations about global climate reparations and financing for mitigations, researchers say

    Caribbean nations suffered $53.2bn (£40bn) of damage from climate-fuelled disasters between 2000 and 2024, research into the cost of the climate crisis to developing small islands has found.

    The figure is more than 90% of the total $57bn in economic damage caused by floods, storms and drought across 39 developing island nations in the Caribbean, the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea, according to a study by development thinktank ODI Global.

  • Hotter summers may force RHS to move hydrangeas to north of England

    Exclusive: British garden staple becomes plant most frequently reported as suffering in heat, charity reports

    With their lush foliage and blooms which turn pink, purple or blue depending on the soil, hydrangeas are a firm favourite in Britain.

    The shrubs bloom throughout summer and have historically thrived in the mild, damp British climate. But hotter summers and heatwaves such as the one hitting parts of England this week are putting the flower at risk in the south of the country, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has warned.

  • Organic eggs have worse impact on climate than eggs from caged chickens

    Adopting organic free-range model in UK could lead to greenhouse emissions equivalent to 2,316,000 tonnes of CO2, study suggests

    Organic eggs are twice as bad for the climate as eggs from chickens living in cages, research suggests.

    According to the study, switching the UK’s entire egg production to an organic free-range model would lead to greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2,316,000 tonnes of CO2 (tCO2e), while production through a fully caged system would emit 1,184,000 tCO2e.

  • Birdwatch: A song thrush connects me with the great-grandfather I never knew

    No other bird speaks to us quite so directly, its serenade conjuring memories of old family tales

    I wake early on these bright summer mornings. And now that the birds in my garden have mostly fallen silent, only one is still serenading me at this hour: the aptly named song thrush. Its measured, deliberate repetitions – which this particular bird has provided without a break since the turn of the year – are unmistakable.

    Whenever I hear a song thrush, I’m taken back in time. First, to my childhood, when the first sign of spring was when thrushes started singing from the roofs of our suburban housing estate as I walked home from school in the dim light of a February afternoon.

  • Country diary: In poet John Clare’s garden, I contemplate my ancestor who lived here too | Nic Wilson

    Helpston, Cambridgeshire: I picture Henry as a young lad, hiding in flowerbeds, chasing butterflies, learning to love nature

    If there’s one thing better than a gatekeeper butterfly, it’s wild marjoram playing host to a flurry of gatekeepers. Almost impossible to count for all the rising, fluttering and resettling, their warm orange and brown wings with white double-dots in a black eye-spot are only a wing-flick away from mottled invisibility: now you see me, now you don’t.

    I’m their lone admirer, sat on a mossy stone in the garden at John Clare cottage, but I don’t feel alone. Honeysuckle has me in a heady hug, undulating fronds of hart’s-tongue fern wave from beneath a rock, the whiteness of a teneral damselfly in the grass intrigues and delights me. I know this garden has a long history of providing companionship, not least to the poet after whom the cottage is named, who knew “the woodbine at the garden gate” as “affection’s friend” and asked of the butterfly: “Wouldst thou in my garden come, / To join the bee’s delightful hum”.

  • The Guardian view on noise pollution: keep it down | Editorial

    New research linking the issue to Parkinson’s disease adds to the evidence of serious health repercussions from traffic volume and other sources

    The roar of late-night traffic is not just annoying for those trying to sleep. It can also have profound effects on their health. A pioneering new study, published this month, has found a clear link between road noise and Parkinson’s disease. The research, which followed more than 3 million Danish participants, found a modest but consistent effect: for every 11.5dB rise in noise level, the risk of the degenerative disorder rose by 3% over the 18-year study.

    The study adds to the growing body of evidence that auditory nuisance is associated with serious physical consequences. The European Environment Agency reported last year that more than 110 million people across the continent suffer high levels of health-damaging noise pollution, with physiological stress and sleep disturbance leading to 66,000 early deaths annually as well as heart disease, diabetes and depression. It found that the harm caused was greater than from secondhand tobacco smoke exposure.

  • ‘The heat took him from me’: India’s death toll rises amid escalating heat crisis

    As extreme heat claims the lives of workers in India’s poorest areas, many fear the true mortality rate is being dangerously undercounted

    The morning air was already hot and cloying when Palli Mahalaxmi rose at about 5am. It was May, and in the summer heatwave that had engulfed this corner of southern India, even night-time did not give the villagers respite.

    A single ceiling fan hung above Mahalaxmi, her husband and her son as they slept in a small windowless room made of thick concrete. Mahalaxmi set about preparing breakfast, and the family ate together from steel plates, just as they did every morning. Sweat dripped from their foreheads as the sun rose higher.

  • ‘They’re part of folklore’: storks return to Derbyshire after 600-year absence

    Conservationists are thrilled at the arrival of three juvenile birds at Willington Wetlands, hoping more will follow

    A long orange beak poked curiously out from its wooden crate, followed by a sleek head and slender body. Then the first white stork of the morning flapped its wings and took to the air. Moments later a second emerged tentatively to stalk through the long grass, followed closely by a final sibling who stretched its wings and explored the length of the enclosure.

    The trio of juvenile white storks have just arrived at their new home in Willington Wetlands in Derbyshire and conservationists are hopeful that their presence will kickstart the return of the birds to the Midlands after an absence of more than 600 years.

  • Climate anxiety was consuming me. Then I learned to laugh about it

    The daily dread pushed me to enroll in a standup class. Could I channel my despair into something lighter?

    If you had told me six months ago that I would soon be performing standup comedy to dozens of strangers, I would have assumed it was a bad dream.

    Public speaking ranks about as high as driving in rush hour traffic through downtown Boston on my list of favorite activities. That I would choose to do standup, with its potential for public humiliation, is basically unimaginable.

  • Bolest desni može potaknuti sistemsku upalu

    Nedavna studija otkrila je da parodontitis reprogramira neutrofile koštane srži putem metaboličkog puta glutationa pokretanog Chac2, potičući visoko upalno N1 stanje koje potiče sistemsku upalu.

  • Polifenoli borovnica i grožđa mogu poboljšati zdravlje krvnih žila

    Nedavni objavljeni pregled ispitao je dokaze o učincima borovnica, grožđa i njihovih bioaktivnih spojeva na markere kardiovaskularnog rizika. Bobičasto voće i grožđe sadrže širok raspon polifenolnih bioaktivnih spojeva, uključujući resveratrol, flavonoide i antocijanine, s protuupalnim, antioksidativnim i potencijalno kardioprotektivnim biološkim učincima.

    Biljna prehrana potiče zdravlje crijeva, imunološkog sustava, metabolizma i kardiovaskularnog sustava, dijelom kultiviranjem raznolike zajednice crijevnih bakterija. Odavno je poznato da te koristi djelomično proizlaze iz vlakana u biljnoj hrani, koju prerađuju naše komenzalne crijevne bakterije, i često jarko obojenih fitokemikalija koje biljke proizvode kako bi se zaštitile od prijetnji iz okoliša

  • Tri ključne regije mozga međusobno djeluju tijekom spavanja kako bi podržale stvaranje pamćenja

    Američki znanstvenici s Kennedy Krieger Instituta i Johns Hopkins Medicine otkrili su da konsolidacija pamćenja tijekom spavanja ovisi o koordiniranoj aktivnosti između tri regije mozga, a poremećaji u toj aktivnosti mogu narušiti performanse pamćenja. 

  • Nusprodukti crijevnih mikroba povezani sa fibrilacijom atrija

    Studija koju je provela Cleveland Clinic pokazuje vezu između povišenih razina TMAO-a (trimetilamin N-oksida) u krvi - nusprodukta probave hranjivih tvari koje se nalaze u crvenom mesu i drugim životinjskim proizvodima - i većeg rizika od fibrilacije atrija. Naime, pokazalo se, da TMAO koji proizvode crijevni mikrobi mijenja električno okruženje srca, povećavajući osjetljivost na abnormalne ritmove.

  • Mikroglija uzrokuje gubitak sna kod Alzheimerove bolesti

    Prema rezultatima novog istraživanja, izgleda da je mikroglija primarni pokretač gubitka sna kod Alzheimerove bolesti. Korištenjem lijeka za privremeno uklanjanje tih stanica u životinjskim modelima, znanstvenici su uspješno obnovili više od dva sata sna dnevno, pružajući novu metu za liječenje bolesti.

  • Oralni antibiotici sigurno skraćuju boravak u bolnici za djecu s upalom pluća

    Djeca hospitalizirana s teškom upalom pluća mogu sigurno prijeći s injekcijskih na oralne antibiotike nakon što se počnu oporavljati, što mnogima omogućuje brži povratak kući i završetak liječenja izvan bolnice, pokazuje nova studija.

  • Nove PPAR terapije nude novu nadu za primarni bilijarni kolangitis

    Primarni bilijarni kolangitis rijetka je autoimuna bolest koja utječe na jetru i može napredovati u cirozu. Nastaje kada imunološki sustav napadne male žučne kanale unutar jetre. Kao rezultat toga, žuč se nakuplja, što dovodi do upale i progresivnog oštećenja jetre. Iako postoji terapija prve linije, 40% pacijenata ne reagira adekvatno na nju ili je ne može tolerirati, pa je potrebno razviti nove mogućnosti liječenja.

  • Spermidin potiče ključne stanične procese povezane sa starenjem

    Od staničnog recikliranja do kognitivnog starenja, spermidin privlači znanstveni interes, ali dokazi potrebni za rutinsku ljudsku upotrebu još se pojavljuju. Spermidin je sveprisutni prirodni poliamin i mimetik kalorijske restrikcije, neophodan za staničnu proliferaciju i homeostazu tkiva.

  • Izmjena plazme poboljšava oporavak kod rijetke upalne bolesti živaca

    Izmjena plazme može pomoći u liječenju ljudi s rijetkom upalnom bolešću koja može uzrokovati sljepoću, pokazuje nova studija. Izmjena plazme dovela je do oporavka većine ljudi s bolešću, koja se naziva bolest povezana s antitijelima protiv mijelinskog oligodendrocitnog glikoproteina (MOGAD), a nuspojave su bile rijetke.
