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
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at glyjay produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at daisyharborcommercegallery extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at hiltgable adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Liked everything about the experience, from the opening through to the closing notes, and a stop at timbertrailmerchantgallery extended that into more pages, finding a site where the editorial vision shows through every choice rather than feeling random is an increasingly rare experience and one I am glad to have today during this particular reading session.
Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at waveharbormerchantgallery confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.
A thoughtful piece that did not strain to be thoughtful, and a look at solacevelour continued that effortless quality, when thinking shows up in writing without the writer drawing attention to it you know you are reading something genuinely considered rather than something performing the appearance of consideration which is also common online.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at skiffvantage extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Skipped a meeting reminder to finish the post, and a stop at vinylvessel held me past another reminder, when content beats meetings the writer is doing something extraordinary because meetings have institutional support behind them and yet good writing can still occasionally win that competition for attention which I find heartening today.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at shorevolume extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
A piece that handled a controversial angle without becoming heated, and a look at trumpetsixth continued that calm engagement, content that can address contested topics without inflaming them is doing rare diplomatic work and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to handle sensitive material with the appropriate temperature of writing throughout.
