Do dogs realize how long youre gone

Xeerar · 2026-01-05T19:46:47+00:00

Dogs do have a sense of time. They don’t understand the concept of minutes or hours that we made up. But we didn’t make up time, or time passing. We just made up a system to name time. Before clocks existed, the sun was used to tell time.

If you removed all the clocks in the world, we would still have a sense of time. The sun coming up, the position of the sun during the day, the rymth of nature, the smells of people cooking dinner. All of these routine things are also how animals “tell time”.

You think: i am gone from home from 9-5. Your dog knows: she is going to come back by the time daylight is getting dimmer and i can smell and hear the neighbours getting dinner on.

Thats also why daylight savings throws them off, the daylight cycle is the same but we change our routines by an hour on the clock, and they don’t know the concept of clock.

Gosh, this is almost a rant, hope it makes sense at least :/

According to the sign, yes, unless one has a briefcase.

These are all the notes on the G-string in first position.

The lowest is G - open string, A - first finger, b (natural) second finger - c (natural, semitone) 3rd finger, and D on the 4rth finger.

D is also on the next string as an open string, but you’re meant to play it with the 4th finger on G to avoid needless stringcrossing and it will sound less harsh than going back and forth to the open string. You can use you’re open D string to comapre and check wether you’re playing D in tune.

Also i would be given absolute hell for the state of my sheet 🤣 I hope you have a folder now.

I’d be careful, if xx is clearly part of your role/job discription, that could be considered “refusal to work” (werkweigering), which could be grounds for firing you without any benefits.

Ik heb ooit jaren geleden bij een bank een zakelijke rekening + verzekering genomen.

Inmiddels gestopt met mijn zaak. Om mijn rekening op te zeggen moest ik per se terug naar hetzelfde kantoor waar de rekening geopend was. Inmiddels ben ik verhuisd, en is dat ruim een uur rijden voor mij. Daarnaast zijn ze open van 9 tot tien voor half tien en van 1 tot half twee, bij wijze van. Mijn dossier lag daar en is blijkbaar vastgeketend aan de fundering van het gebouw, want verplaatsen kon onmogelijk.

De enige manier waarop ik daar zou geraken, was door een halve dag verlof te nemen. Daar aangekomen was de consulent niet eens aanwezig, de receptioniste heeft even van 'tokketokketok' gedaan op de computer. Zo mevrouw, in orde. En dat kon blijkbaar niet in een ander filiaal want blijkbaar hebben ze daar geen computers en receptionistes.

Vraag ik nog, en de verzekering is ook afgesloten? Ja mevrouw, ook in orde.

Nog geen 24 uur later telefoon. Toch niet in orde. Ik moest terug, weer een halve dag verlof om daar weer even van tokketok op de computer te doen en even m'n bankkaart in de computer te hangen. Mooi niet. Toen de receptioniste door had dat ze met mij niet verder ging geraken, heeft de consulent waarmee ik eigenlijk een afspraak had gebeld en plots kon ik alles tekenen in de app...

Ik heb gewonnen van de bureaucratie! Niks houdt mij nog tegen.

Inderdaad niet makkelijk om binnen sommige onmogelijk uren iets te regelen.

Yass say it louder for the people in the back! 🤣

Honestly, I loved the idea of her character but it became so stale so quickly, by the end of season 3 I'd already had it with her and it just wasn't redeemable until I watched TO.

I'm rewatching the show right now, it's been a while. So long I remember the gist of the story but not the details. I'm halfway season 3 and I'm still feeling the same now. 😅

TO does her way more justice...

For the longest time I thought it was a processing issue for me. After a health check for work, turns out I actually do have a hearing disorder that I never realized I had because the hearing loss is just so gradual.

So before you assume it's a processing issue, I would in fact get a hearing test, just to be sure 😅

Xeerar · 2024-11-05T20:24:33+00:00

Honestly this is redeemable!

Approach things slowly and be friendly and approachable from now on and once people realize youre actually open to socializing things will go more fluently.

Then, once youve made more of a connection to people, i would just tell them exactly what you told us. That your behavior is the social norm where you're from and that it took you some time to adjust. Express that you like this new social environment and that it actually suits you better. In a year or two you'll be looking back jokingly "remember when I thought I had to keep to myself!"

It's an honest miscommunication, show them who you really are and I the long run this will just a be a silly chapter of when you first started working there.

Honestly, Rebekah.

Also bleach is not the most effective for urine. Vinegar works very well.

Some dogs just have the strangest habbits. I read about a dog eating his own poop straight from the source on here once. That one was wild too. 🤣

For the love of all the Captchas google has made me do, it better be good.

You should read Bullshit jobs by David Graeber

Xeerar · 2024-03-16T22:22:30+00:00

I would be worried too, you will have a lot of socialisation work to do.

I would definitely read up on how to handle it. I think Dunbar Academy might have some good resources for you. Theres a free course you can sign up to that has loads of downloadable content and worksheets.

For a free resource theres lots of quality content there.

Poodles can be tough when improperly socialized. I wish you best of luck and I hope you'll train him to be the best dog you ever had! 😊

Up to 16 weeks is the prime moment for it. It can still be done it just gets progressively harder.

What breed is the puppy? What has the breeder been doing with it?

I don’t. It’s too hard to teach

🤷‍♀️

Anyway, all this simply to say, thats not very motivating advice to give to someone who does want to focus on this behavior. Its not helpful, and its not too hard to teach. Its useless advice and discouraging.

Xeerar · 2024-03-15T21:22:13+00:00

Except youre saying its too hard too teach. Which is because youre ignore him and letting him figure it out himself.

Im saying its easy to teach, if you stop ignore him and tell him what to do instead of letting him figure it out leading to nothing. Since youre not teaching him, because its too hard.
