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
Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at shoreskipper reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.
Skipped the comments section but might come back to read it, and a stop at swiftswallow hinted at a quality reader community, sites where the comments are worth reading separately from the post are increasingly rare and signal a particular kind of audience that has grown around the editorial vision over time gradually.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at gooseholm extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at flankisle carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.
Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at shoresyrup did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.
However casually I came to this site I have ended up reading carefully, and a look at frondketo continued earning that careful reading, the conversion from casual visitor to careful reader is something content earns rather than demands and this site has accomplished that conversion for me over the course of just a few pieces.
Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at swiftswallow reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.
Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at flankisle only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at gausskite suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Glad to find something on this topic that does not start with three paragraphs of throat clearing before getting to the point, and a stop at gulfholm also dives right in, respect for the readers time shows up in small editorial choices like this and they add up to a real difference quickly.
