Onze G.P. … wat een fijne kamerdaad. Nu hij 6 maanden oud is weet hij tijdens onze wandelingen zijn krachten beter te doseren, hoewel hij soms nog altijd zoals een jong wild zwijn door het kreupelhout, droge grachten en over hellingen raast… Ik hou wel van dat felle, onstuimige maar gedoseerde karakter. Gisteren zijn we voor het eerst naar de trimster geweest. We voelden ons direct thuis, een hele lieve jonge vrouw met een heel groot hart voor honden. We besloten om de trimsessie in 2 stages te doen zodat G.P. niet te lang onder druk moest staan en zo het een toch fijne ervaring vind. Volgende week doet ze verder. Zijn kop rug en buik zijn in orde – het ziet er nu een echte Schnauzer uit! – de zijkanten moeten nog gedaan worden. Ik voel aan hem dat hij zeer tevreden is om van die dikke pelsen jas verlost te zijn… Deze morgen al vertrokken in de duisternis, fijne aangename wandeling gemaakt. Nu die dikke jas uit is heeft hij precies nog meer energie…maar zoals gezegd , weet hij die nu beter te doseren. Tijdens de lessen in de hondenschool doet hij ook flink zijn best, iedereen is aangenaam verrast dat hij zo goed werkt en alles zo snel aanneemt. In’t begin waren ze zowat onzeker en wantrouwig omdat ze dachten dat Schnauzers enkel koppige felle honden zijn. G.P. heeft ze laten zien dat hij wel fel, onstuimig, enthousiast maar leergierig en zeer sociaal is! Iedereen die ik binnen laat wordt enthousiast begroet, hoewel hij toch al best waaks is of begint te worden!
We zitten nu al 2 weken in de A-klas – overgegaan van de puppy-klas – en ook daar werkt hij goed en doet flink zijn best.
Erg tevreden Schnauzer baasjes,
Stef & Annie
Voor het trimmen Na de 1ste trimbeurt
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at gapjumbo similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at guavahilt continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at fossgusto extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at keenfoil extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.
Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at tailortarget continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.
A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at irisetch maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.
My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at thrashurge keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at irisetch only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at firkit reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.
Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at thrashurge confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.
