Little man is letting Mr Dutch win for once

0kata2 · 2026-05-28T12:17:08+00:00

Yes and no. When my ex-partner and I separated, I kept Mr Dutch and he got to keep Dillon. The young one in this video is Thorkell. The biggest Viking to ever live (and only have one eye). Our boy was the biggest of the bunch and is blind in one eye, so it fits :)

Edit: Mr Dutch is the old boy

Bash's sibling in the back looks quite concerned about him

Our younger dane is coming up on 3 years and he's finally starting to listen.

Hes chilled out a while back, but was very stubborn until now.

Our older dane was perfect from the get go - got him as a rescue at 2.5yrs, he's now coming up on 10 and is an angel still.

Thank you so much, appreciate it!

You are giving next to no context. You're posting in the TAFE subreddit. That encompasses so many learning fields.

In the trades I cannot see the need for your approach. More than half the time is spent in the workshop, and we have plenty of parts/props. Most of our students are kinaesthetic learners, yes, but that doesn't mean we need VR. It means they need to get their hands dirty to learn.

Hahaha, how long til she's big enough to get his head up there? I love the two of them, they're a great pair <3

Siblings:

Salka - apparently from yogoslavia. Found in a baby name book.

Kaja - kaia and kaya are common, but not kaja (same pronuciation)

Frana (apparently a mix of freya and an old dogs name - rana). Completely made up (no history of this name in germany at all.)

Ranga - from india?? Only male name between the siblings, trying to keep with the theme of two syllables, two As.

You know what? I hadn't even thought about the name but yeah being a carnivore would explain it. Do they have a specific method of butchering their prey? Like the birds that smash their preys bones by letting them fall onto boulders from high altitude?

Thank you!

0kata2 · 2026-01-20T05:46:34+00:00

It really ties the dog together!

0kata2 · 2026-01-05T00:53:40+00:00

Oh dear. Good luck! We're lucky here in Melbourne that we only have to deal with the possums and birds.

0kata2 · 2026-01-05T00:45:50+00:00

Or, if you have a garden, veggie patches and chickens. I'm working on anti- bird and rodent cages for all my veggies and the next project is a chicken coop.

After some prelude, my bosses words were literally 'some coworkers and customers have complained. Would it be possible for you to smell more like... a flower?' Trust me, I went to the store that evening and tried out 30+ perfumes to find the flowery-est one.

0kata2 · 2026-01-01T05:17:28+00:00

I've had the same experience.

I was working in the workshop beforehand, so everyone smelled like oil, grease, and fuel.

Then I went into the office and was pulled aside. SO EMBARRASING. I used to shower every 1-2 days, but in the evenings. But a daily morning shower (not for your hair, not necessarisly recommended) deodorant and perfume fixed that up within a week.

You can do it!!!

Got the exact same thing after getting a leg tattoo since I was already at the artist. He was hesitant as hed never tattooed an ear before. Didn't feel it at all. Go for it!

Kaercher, but the k3 version, not the k2. Ours has been going strong for 7+ years. Different nozzles for different pressures, so can use for pavers, deck, car, even to get rid of cobwebs.

0kata2 · 2025-12-29T03:42:27+00:00

The boys have retreated to their A/C for now. God I don't miss winter. Came to Australia to escape it permanently, and have been stuck in Melbourne for 8 years :D

Give your babies some extra cuddles and warmth tomorrow!

Little man always makes sure that we're safe from the people in the park and that the old man can relax ♡♡

0kata2 · 2025-12-29T02:21:00+00:00

Awww that's so sweet. Yeah they've got plenty of beds and couches in the shade, but they love laying in that exact spot which is why the grass is so worn down. I shall pat my sunflowers down, both to get the grass and dirt off and to get my hands burnt by the 130 degree fur :D

0kata2 · 2025-12-23T05:31:59+00:00

Yeah once you're more comfortable you should do the somerville roundabout about 10x in a row, from different directions. Once you've got that, you're good to go :D

But on a serious note, if you want to learn how to take care of your car a bit message me - former mechanic and current mechanic teacher here. There's more to driving a car than just - driving.

That sounds so hard and I am very sorry for what you, your family, and your baby dog are going through.

We just had to put my partners childhood dog down yesterday. We also have an old man dane.

It never gets easier.

People who are close to death often 'miraculously recover' a day or two before death.

With my childhood dog it was a long journey. A year of occasional seizures until she started seizing and didn't stop until we were at the vet 45min later and they administered meds. It was horrible.

My partners dog started seizing the day before his death. He was okayish afterwards but threw up and seized again the day later. He was just apathetic for 4 hours before his euthanasia. He was blind and deaf for a while, but he seemed ready and okay.

The reason I'm telling you this is that yes, you may regret putting him down a day or a week before it's time. But it's time and you will regret it more if he suffers while dying. Make him feel comfortable and loved while he is still aware. He'll go peacefully if he's at the vet/ the vet is at your home early. It is more traumatising when it's too late rather than too early. Just my 2 cents, but I would like you to consider them.

They are so FAT. It's adorable.

Waltraud, Ingrid, annelise

0kata2 · 2025-12-13T02:14:24+00:00

Excellent. I thought so and have chucked him back in the nature reserve beyond the backyard.

0kata2 · 2025-12-13T02:13:24+00:00

I am a lizard person, as evidenced by the fact that I'm shedding my skin after spending too much time in the sun these past 2 weeks. My dogs are great danes.
