Die personeel en gereelde besoekers by Rust-en-Vrede-kunsgalery in Durbanville is steeds hartseer en geskok nadat die lieflinghondjie en galery-gelukbringer Nilu onlangs doodgery is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nilu, \u2019n Yorkshireterri\u00ebr-tefie, was op 11 April op Nasionale Troeteldierdag by die hondesalon Woofbox in Wellingtonweg toe sy uitgekom en die straat in gehardloop het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hondjie is kort daarna naby Knead in Queenstraat deur \u2019n motor raakgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hamlin Jansen van Vuuren, wie se hondjie dit was, het haar, sedert sy haar twee jaar gelede gekry het, elke dag na die galery gebring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBesoekers aan die galery het gou lief geword vir haar en het dikwels teruggekeer na die galery om spesifiek vir haar te kom kuier. Sy het bietjie van \u2019n \u2018legend\u2019 geword hier,\u201d s\u00ea Donavan Mynhardt, kurator-assistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wat hulle nog verder ontstel het, is dat die hondesalon eers verlede week \u2013 meer as \u2019n week en \u2019n half n\u00e1 die voorval \u2013 sifdraad by die veiligheidshek, waardeur Nilu ontsnap het, opgesit het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHulle het ook sover gegaan om die voorval teenoor ander kli\u00ebnte te ontken. Ons verneem ook dat daar soortgelyke voorvalle in die verlede plaasgevind het by ander Woofbox-takke,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was \u2019n geweldige skok en verlies vir ons almal hier. Ons wil graag keer dat so iets met iemand anders gebeur,\u201d s\u00ea Mynhardt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jansen van Vuuren het troeteldiereienaars op Facebook gewaarsku om seker te maak \u2019n hondesalon het genoegsame beskerming om veral klein hondjies binne te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar het sy Nilu na die hondesalon gevat dat sy gewas en haar naels geknip kan word. Sy het haar self agter in \u2019n hok gesit. Toe Nilu haar een poot teen die draadhek sit, het sy haar hand teen Nilu se poot gesit en ges\u00ea \u201csoet bly\u201d, \u201csoos ek altyd doen\u201d, s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hondesalon het haar n\u00e1 sowat 40 minute gebel en ges\u00ea Nilu is klaar en dat sy haar maar kan kom haal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe ek daar aankom, het die eienaar by die deur gestaan en ges\u00ea Nilu het nou net uitgeglip en in die straat af gehardloop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy het in die rigting gewys waarin sy gehardloop het. Dit was \u2019n paar meter van die besige hoofpad en ek het rasend agterna gehardloop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kort daarna het die hondesalon weer gebel en ges\u00ea hulle het haar gekry; sy is terug by die salon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie eienaar het buite gewag en ges\u00ea die hondjie is agter. Hy het aanmekaar om verskoning gevra. Hy het ges\u00ea \u2019n kar het haar raakgery. Ek het amper van my kop af geraak en het gewonder hoekom hy so lank vat; ek moet haar by \u2019n veearts kry. Ek is agtertoe en het geskree \u2018waar is my hond\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie eienaar het rondgekyk en ges\u00ea hy weet nie waar hulle haar gesit het nie. Hy het sy personeel gevra en toe kom \u2019n werker in van agter met Nilu in sy hande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaar nek het slap gehang en bloed het uit haar ore en mond gekom. Sy het haarself bevuil,\u201d s\u00ea sy. Die hondjie was reeds dood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNilu se naels was geknip, maar sy was nog nie gewas nie; daar was nog grassade in haar hare en ek kon voel aan haar hare dat sy nog nie gewas is nie,\u201d het sy aan TygerBurger<\/em> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit beteken sy het in die strate rondgehardloop op soek na my vir \u2019n geruime tyd voor hulle my gebel het. As hulle nie so begaan was oor hul reputasie nie, kon ek al vroe\u00ebr na haar begin soek het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jansen van Vuuren reken Nilu is nooit gewas nie en dat sy al vroe\u00ebr uitgekom het, en dat sy, nadat sy doodgery is, heeltyd by die salon was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHulle het haar die heeltyd gehad terwyl ek soos \u2019n mal mens in die strate rondgehardloop het op soek na haar. Hulle kon haar skoonmaak, toedraai in \u2019n kombers en darem deernis en menslikheid toon \u2013 hulle het die tyd gehad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het alleen daar uitgestap \u2013 geen aanbod om my iewers heen te ry nie. Dat my geliefde maat, beste vriend, my alles so \u2019n wrede en onwaardige einde moes h\u00ea, sal vir ewig by my spook,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mynhardt het op Facebook ges\u00ea hy is geskok en teleurgesteld in hoe die hondesalon die voorval hanteer het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAs iemand sy geliefde troeteldier aan \u2019n hondesalon gee, vertrou hy sy troeteldier is in goeie hande; dis amper soos om jou kind aan \u2019n cr\u00e8che toe te vertrou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk weet onvoorsiene goed kan gebeur, maar eers moes sy rondhardloop op soek na haar hond, dan bel hulle en s\u00ea die hond is gevind, en gee haar dan die lewelose, vuil, bebloede hond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is uiters ontsteld oor die gebrek aan empatie aan iemand wat so iets moes deurmaak,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jacques Redelinghuys, eienaar van Woofbox, het aan TygerBurger<\/em> ges\u00ea hy was net so geskok oor die voorval en het amper saam met haar oor die hondjie gehuil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie hondjie het uit \u2019n werker se hande gespring en by die deur van die salon na die ontvangsgedeelte gehardloop en daar by die veiligheidshek uitgeglip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie deur na die salon is gewoonlik toe en het om een of ander onverklaarbare rede op \u2019n skrefie oopgestaan,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlles het so vinnig gebeur en toe kom sy (Jansen van Vuuren) daar aan. Ons sou nog die hondjie skoonmaak en in \u2019n kombersie toegedraai het, maar sy wou net haar hond vat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het hoeveel kere gebel om jammer te s\u00ea, vir haar blomme werk toe gestuur, maar sy wou nie met my praat nie. Ek het haar ook terugbetaal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk is ook bereid om, as sy weer \u2019n Yorkie wil h\u00ea, vir haar een te koop. Ek is regtig jammer oor wat gebeur het,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die personeel en gereelde besoekers by Rust-en-Vrede-kunsgalery in Durbanville is steeds
