Op Uitenhage se Rosedale-woongebied stap di\u00e9 ou hondjie, Spiky, \u2019n Jack Russel-kruising, nog flink rond op die erf van Aine en Norma Jonkers, sy mense-ouers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was dit nie dat Aine so \u2019n nutsman was nie, sou Spiky se storie nooit eers bekend geraak het nie. Aine se hande staan vir niks verkeerd nie en hy het baie vaardighede aangeleer in die jare wat hy by Telkom in diens was. Deesdae, as afgetredene, doen hy allerhande bou- en hande-werk en dit was hoe sy pad met nog \u2019n hondeliefhebber, Marily Solomons, gekruis het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hy het haar heining opgeknap sodat haar twee honde, Joey en Snowy, veilig binne kan bly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAine het my vertel van Spiky en ek was dadelik ge\u00efntereseerd om te sien hoe so \u2019n ou hond lyk,\u201d s\u00ea Marily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk was baie verras toe ek sien in hoe \u2019n goeie toestand Spiky is, hy lyk nog pragtig. Dit is net as hy loop dat jy kan sien hy trap so bietjie snaaks van die ouderdom.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aine vertel dat Spiky in September 1998 gebore is en eintlik sy ouers se hondjie was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHulle het Pretoria toe getrek en die bondel-tjie vir ons gegee. Spiky was so klein, hy het in die palm van my vrou se hand gepas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiky was \u2019n op-en-wakker ratse hondjie met beslis meer as nege lewens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHy het al baie dinge beleef. Lank gelede het \u2019n rondloper hond hom byna doodgebyt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cR2 300 later het ons hom teruggekry en van toe af is hy baie versigtig vir ander honde en bly net by die huis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNorma is verskriklik lief vir Spiky en versorg hom baie mooi. Hy is soos familie en ek dink dit is die rede dat die hondjie so oud word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

Aine Jonkers en Spiky met Marily Solomon, wat nie kon glo dat die hond al 22 jaar oud is nie. INLAS:Spiky, \u2019n Jack Russel-kruising is 22 jaar oud. In honde jare is dit sowat 124 jaar wat hy agter die blad het. <\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In die jare wat Aine vir Telkom gewerk het, het hulle heelwat rondgetrek en Spiky was saam. Graaff Reinet toe en later het die Jonkers vir 11 jaar in Pietermaritzburg gebly voordat hulle drie jaar gelede teruggekeer het na Uitenhage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spiky is nie meer so op-en-wakker nie, is doof en sy voorste tande het uitgeval, maar hy het nie sy liefde vir koffie en roomys verloor nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOewee<\/span> \u2026 hy like<\/span> sy koffie met drie teelepels suiker in die oggend. Ek moet elke oggend drie koppies koffie maak. Een vir my, een vir Norma en een vir Spiky.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aine s\u00ea as Spiky eendag die ewigheid ingaan, sal hulle hom veras en iewers in die tuin vir hom \u2018n gedenksteentjie oprig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oudste hond ter w\u00eareld<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Guinness World Records is die Australiese beeshond Bluey die oudste hond ooit. Volgens dokumente het hy 29 jaar en vyf maande oud geword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die verlede is daar in die algemeen uitgewerk dat \u2019n hondejaar gelyk is aan sewe mensejare. Maar wetenskaplikes s\u00ea aikona, \u2019n hond se eerste jaar is gelyk aan 15 mensejare; jaar twee is gelyk aan nege mensejare; en die daaropvolgende jare is elk gelyk aan vyf mensejare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dus word Spiky se 22 mensejare as volg bereken: 15 + 9 + (20\u00d75) = 124 hondejare.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
