Ma ka Makahiki Makahiki Hou, noi ʻia nā mea ʻona hānai āpau e makaʻala a mālama pono. A he mau kumu maikaʻi no kēia.
ʻO kahi laʻana, e like me ka helu helu, nalowale ka hapa nui o nā holoholona i ka wā hoʻomaha o ka Makahiki Hou. Makaʻu loa nā pōpoki ʻelua a me nā ʻīlio i nā leo nui a me nā kukui ʻālohilohi - nā ahi, nā pā, nā ahi.
Ke ʻike nei i nā mea ahi, hoʻomaka pinepine nā ʻīlio e haki ka leash a kūleʻa pinepine lākou, keu hoʻi inā pīhoihoi ka mea nona, lawe ʻia e nā mea e hana nei a i ʻole i ka moku ʻona.... Hoʻohui ʻia, ma nā ahi ahi hoʻolauleʻa, ma ke ʻano he rula, nui ka poʻe inu ʻona, kahi a kekahi mau lāhui i makemake nui ʻole ai. Kū'ē i ke kua o ka makaʻu mai nā kukui a me nā mea ahi, hiki i kēia makemake makemake ʻole ke lilo i kaohi ʻole, a hiki i ka ʻīlio ke nahu i kekahi.
Mai hoʻopunipuni ʻoe iā ʻoe iho i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana inā liʻiliʻi ka ʻīlio, a laila ʻaʻole ia e hoʻoweliweli. ʻOiai ʻo nā ʻeha a lākou i hana ai ʻaʻole i weliweli e like me ka nahu ʻana o kahi Rottweiler a i ʻole he ʻīlio kahu hipa, hiki iā lākou ke hoʻokumu i nā hakakā a me nā hana.
Pēlā nō, mai kaukaʻi i ka waha o kāu ʻīlio: inā lawa ka nui, hiki iā ia ke kīkē maʻalahi i ke kanaka i lalo, kahi e hōʻeha ai inā hāʻule ia. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻowahāwahā ʻia ka ikaika o nā māiʻu ʻīlio: ʻoiai ʻaʻole makaʻu lākou e like me nā māiʻuʻu o nā felines nui, hiki iā lākou ke haehae i nā lole a waiho pinepine nā maka i ka maka. No laila, inā pono e hele wāwae i ka ʻīlio, e makaʻala nui a pale i nā wahi lehulehu. He ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e hana i kēia ʻaʻole ma waenakonu o ka lā nui, akā ma mua a i ʻole i ke kakahiaka.
No laila, mai helu i ka kūpono o nā ʻīlio i nā lā nui o ka Makahiki Hou. Ma ke ala, ua like ka like me nā mea nona nā pōpoki ʻoi aku ka makaʻu i ka walaʻau a hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ke ʻano kūpono ʻole.
Pono ʻoe e akahele i loko o ka hale. Nānā ʻole inā e kamaʻilio ana mākou e pili ana i nā pōpoki a ʻīlio paha, pono ʻoe e hōʻole i ka mālama ʻana iā lākou me nā kīʻaha ʻoliʻoli. Wahi a nā poʻe loea, puhi, momona, confectionery hiki ke hoʻonāukiuki i nā maʻi koʻikoʻi o ka ʻōnaehana digestive i nā holoholona.
ʻO nā mea ʻoi aku ka weliweli nā mea hoʻonaninani Kalikimaka, ʻo ia hoʻi ka lāʻau kuʻi a me ka tinsel. Loaʻa i nā pōpoki a me nā ʻīlio kahi makemake nui e ʻai i kēia mau mea, kahi e alakaʻi pinepine ai i nā ʻōpū a me ka make. Wahi a nā veterinarians, i ka wā hoʻomaha o ka Makahiki Hou, ʻae lākou i kahi nui o nā ʻīlio a me nā pōpoki i piha i nā mea hoʻonani o ka makahiki hou. A ʻaʻole hiki ke mālama mau iā lākou.
No laila, makemake mākou e olakino ʻoe a me kāu poʻe holoholona a me nā lā nui hauʻoli o ka Makahiki Hou!
