Three times a devoted yosha

Now the whole life of the family is subordinated to the care of the old blind York Yosha selected on the street. But everyone is happy

We help Ray help

The blind 14-year-old York Yoshi has a whole wardrobe of outfits. The red -haired space suit was sewn to order in Minsk. This one - the first Yoshkin sweater with deer - was presented in the Ray Foundation, from where the mistress of Rimma and her daughter Anya took the unfortunate York. But this one - similar to a bag with four trousers - is already lying idle for a whole year. Exactly so much has passed since the day when Yosha was given to the new owners.

“Now this case is no longer climbing it,” Rimma rejoices. - And before, they wore it, like a four -legged clutch. He was thin. Explored, beaten, squeezed. Dry fruit in shreds of wool. And from this Mesiva, the eerie stuck out, it seems, more than Yoshka himself, the last fang remaining of the entire jaw. ”

Now Yosh is very longing for a fang. All the time, the air has enough air in the place where there used to be a formidable weapon and crying quietly. He does not know that without this fang it looks much prettier. Yes, and the outfits to change it are much more importantly - the collars do not cling to a lonely tooth ...

It seems to me that he was a glamorous favorite in a very rich family, a prestigious accessory

“For him, dressing is a favorite thing. He gets high, ”says Rimma. “It seems that we have Count Bolkonsky, and we are Princess Mary with him.” In general, in habits and in character, thoroughbred, blue blood is felt. It is very selective: it evaluates any fabric in texture, cheaply refuses to perceive. Assesses smells, sounds. Evables of the former life. I wonder how moody he was when he could also see? For some reason, it seems to me that he was a glamorous favorite in a very rich family, a prestigious accessory, maybe even participated in exhibitions or was in demand as the father of future exhibition dogs. And then he began to age, he was handed over to some “good hands”, then further, further-and now he is already under the entrance on a disposable film in the January frost trampling a handful of dry food. God is the judge to those who start themselves with beautiful dogs, and then “smash” further like a boring gadget. In a sense, I am even grateful to them, because otherwise Yosh would not have appeared in our life. ”

With the advent of Yoshi, life has completely changed. Rimma cosmetologist began to work less in order to spend more time with him, the doors in the apartment stopped closing so that it was easier for him to walk.

“When he only came to us, Anya drove his way from the room to the room on the floor,” says Rimma. - He did not see, but walked by the sound. Now it is easy to move from one to the other of his bed. It is now not very - still leaves after the operation. "

The last operation this year was perhaps the most difficult. It would seem that just to remove the tooth. But on this last Yoshkin, the jaw partially held on the fang - the poor fellow was broken by the pensioner Natalia, who picked him up on the street last January. For those couple of days that he was with her, she could not understand what was wrong with this abnormal dog: it will crash into the furniture all over the gallop, then it will fall from the table. And the veterinarians for a long time tried to understand how the unfortunate dog, being in the house next to a man, could break the whole jaw so that they had almost chips from that.

The tooth was huge. Real white fang. And the operation had to be done under general anesthesia. Doctors said honestly: with a probability of sixty -five percent, the dog will no longer wake up. But there was a chance to survive.

“It was a difficult year,” Rimma admits. - At first they nursed for a long time, there were literally problems with everything: digestion and chair, reproductive system, psyche - he periodically fell into real tantrums, there were even seizures. We learned to independently treat inflammations and wounds, make injections, bandage and quietly slip medications into food. We began to distinguish between at least thirty types of crying. We stopped sleeping at night, because he is like a baby requiring regular care, with the only difference being that the list of his drugs will be compared only with the list of an elderly bedridden-asthmatika.

Several times Yoshka was really on the verge. I have pictures in front of my eyes: here I am sobbing on the balcony - I decided that he had a stroke; So I stand in front of him on his knees, I beg not to die - it is difficult for him to breathe - and I convulsively call a taxi. We all understood, we took Yoshka to live to ourselves. But still it hurts. Also, because now we have lived together for a year (although no one promised us), we have been able to, all overcome, you can stretch a couple more years, right? And now I already feel again - my legs are numb, floating in my eyes, now I will dig, if not in a fainting. And the time of the operation is already, and the doctor whispers to me: "Now I can’t break through, I can save only one thing - either him or you." Well, of course, him! "

Now the whole life of the Roman family is completely dedicated to Yoshka. There is really not enough time for anything else, and that the pies with cabbage on the table, pilaf smokes, the pie in the oven - so thanks to sister Ira, who came from Krasnodar - to help with a new member of the family. And not the first time. It seems that everyone who only get acquainted with Yoshka immediately fall in love with it without looking back. And curators from the Ray Foundation, and all doctors without exception. Even the ex -husband, with whom Rimma in divorce, began to visit and help with the pet with the appearance of York.

“Of course, now I can’t afford such a life as before,” says Rimma. - I already forgot when I went to the last exhibition, but I loved very much before. I adjust the work graph under the yoshka. I almost never get out to my friends. But Yoshka taught me patience and understanding that life itself is an unreal value, no matter what kind of kicks it rewarded with you. After all, take our yosh: how many times he was thrown, betrayed. He was crippled and hunger. What far to go: even one of my two cats at first terribly lifted him. Jealous, of course. She used to be a princess, but then a new favorite showed up. She used to jump on the path, hisses, does not let him go. I could even go along the nose with a paw. And he - blind, twice as much - blinking whitish eyes, as if he was going to cry, and turned his head with a misunderstanding: for what? No response aggression. Nothing. Such a directly pogo Plato Karataev. "

On February 8, exactly a year has been performed as Yosha has been living with Rimma with Anya (and now Irina). If Rimma, even a week before this significant event, said that soon a blind, dying dog from glamorous magazines would be in her care, she would never believe. My daughter dreamed of like or Husky. In a familiar shelter, she already had two dogs on the maintenance. The more strange it was for Rimma Anin the question is closer to midnight:

- Mom, and if we take a blind york?

And she showed her a photo and the history of a dog, which was called "Three times the devoted York." The next morning they called the Ray Foundation, which gave an announcement, but it turned out to be too late: Yoshka was serving a foster family. Anya was upset, and Rimma for some reason perked up: she suddenly had confidence that Yoshka would definitely live with them.

“I am generally a very rational person,” says Rimma. -But if I thought at least for a second, I would have fallen to the awareness of all responsibility, all, excuse me, the meaninglessness of this venture, all the risks-including infection of family members due to an unvaccinated dog. If at least one such thought flashed through my head, I would definitely not dare. But there was only in my head: we must take it, he is ours. ”

And indeed, a few days later the next family abandoned Yoshka. And with a suitcase of documents (a mountain of vaccinations and tests, a report on the operation carried out in the fund, a lot of directions) York Yosh-also like a suitcase, in his “clutch” case-arrived at the hostess.

“Of course, we would not have coped,” says Rimma. - It was important for us to choose the right food, since Yoshka’s stomach was very bad, he almost did not eat, we urgently had to restore it, and the fund brought a bunch of different foods to choose from. Medicines, contacts of doctors, payment of procedures - “Ray” helped us with everything. We were extremely openly outlined for the whole picture. And we were not thrown halfway, helped and help constantly. I remember how I dialed Katya's director of the Katya Foundation in complete despair. Yoshka has another crisis. Summer. Sunday. Where to run is incomprehensible. The connection is also interrupted. She found me several doctors for an hour to choose that she was able to agree on admission. At the same time, it turned out that she herself was on vacation in Greece then. ”

At that time, Yoshka got his “second name” - a pitch. Now he is so affectionately called at home all three housewives. And they regret that due to blindness, York could not appreciate the space equipment on which he was examined by a doctor recommended by Catherine from Ray. Rimma says that even in the "human" clinics I have never seen anything like it. The picture simultaneously enchanted and terrified, because she had only a thousand rubles with her. But since Yoshka came to her life, miracles have happened more and more often. So here: the doctor asked his sister to calculate the cost of all services and make a discount. It turned out exactly a thousand. All? “He's a pitch. He already got it. ”

“When you have such an Yoshka, a frightened, interrupted, but still desperately clinging to life, faith in people returns,” says Rimma. - A blind fashionista, toothless cynic, a thinly gourmet who every time defeated in the struggle with death. When such a living creature is next to you, you begin to look at life in a completely new way. They do not need us to take care. And we need them to teach. And if our story, for at least one person in the world, will not be a reason not to betray, not to excite, not to sleep, but to love and be necessary, then all this was definitely no coincidence. ”

The Ray Charity Fund for helping homeless animals helps those who cannot ask for help - homeless cats and dogs. The fund not only selects abandoned animals, but helps systematically - works with almost all the shelters of Moscow and the Moscow Region and coordinates the efforts of volunteers. For those who decided to take a dog or a cat from the shelter, the fund’s website has not only a selection of animals that are looking for a house, but also a questionnaire in which you can state all the wishes for a future cat or dog, and volunteers of the fund and shelters will pick you up a suitable friend. There you can fill out an application if you want to transfer help, become a volunteer of the fund or one of the shelters, help with the transportation of animals, temporarily shelter a cat or dog, or are ready to organize an animal photo shoot. If you just want to help the fund so that the other “yoshki” will quickly find the house, you can arrange a regular donation.
