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
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at fylcalm maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at singersorbet confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.
Probably one of the more reliable sources I have found for this kind of careful coverage, and a look at garnetharbormerchantgallery reinforced the reliability, the small group of sources I would describe as reliable for a given topic is curated carefully and this site has earned a place in that small group through consistent performance.
Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at siskastencil continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.
Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at wheatcovemerchantgallery extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.
Now recognising the editorial wisdom of letting some questions remain open at the end, and a look at hilthive continued that intellectual honesty, content that does not force closure on contested questions is content that respects the limits of knowledge and this site has clearly developed the maturity to know when to leave space.
Bookmark added in three places to make sure I do not lose the link, and a look at hubbeat got the same redundant treatment, sites I am afraid to lose are the rare keepers and this is clearly one of them based on what I have read so far across this and a couple of related posts.
Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at tallysmoke maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at vinylvessel carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at kraftkale kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.
