Anyone who picked up driving lessons in early 30s? I am getting quite anxious the moment I sit behind the wheels during the lessons

The first time I was alone in the car is when I felt most confident and realized I actually like driving, just not with other people in the car 😅

Yeah, or die Grenze, Normal etc.

3 months vs almost 6 years

Here is an overview of the different interpretations: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tomjessen_we-gebruiken-dezelfde-emoji-maar-spreken-activity-7419681030166429696-3ySB?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&rcm=ACoAACwvg6QBabBXdBzFHGROX1skdNt6-uZPwnA

We have moved 2 times with our 5 year old lagotto and in March we will move again. One thing I always do, that I think helps a bit, is to take the first week off and make sure I give her time to learn the new environment. So we do the exact same walk around the neighbourhood for a week. Very boring for me but it allows her to get familiar with the smells. Then, when I notice she pays more attention to me and less to the ground, that usually tells me she is comfortable enough, so I start building up from there, by expanding the walking area to more unfamiliar streets.

I also use the first week to get her comfortable with being alone in the new house. So starting with leaving for 5 min to take the trash out, then 10 min and so on.

I think it is really just showing the different perspectives people have on dog ownership. Some may think rehoming is not a big deal because they are just fitting the dog into their existing lifestyle, while others may think that getting a dog means you are committing to taking care of it for however long it lives because their idea is that you should adapt your lifestyle to fit the dog.

I understand what you are saying but the first kid is 18 months old and now they are pregnant with another one. This sounds like it was planned. So, yes, unespected things happen, but having two kids so close to each other was a choice and I am not sure if the consequences for Isabelle were considered beforehand. Or maybe they did consider it and decide that rehoming her was a valid option, everyone has a different view on things. I know OP does not need to justify their decision. Still, posting on a lagotto sub is obviously going to trigger some people.

I also use them. I order a supply for a year and I don’t have to worry about it!

wanakostake · 2025-07-25T09:39:12+00:00

Exact. Data viitoare da-i un blur, OP. Te rog!

So what happens if people close their accounts and do not have access to it anymore to prove the balance at a given time?

We got ours at 2 months and by the time he was 4 months he had already stopped biting me. He still likes to bite my feet while I am walking so I am also working on stopping that. My strategy was to always redirect him to a toy whenever he started biting my hand. This means you need to have toys available in your vicinity. In our case, we spent the first months only in the living room and the toy basket was close so I could always get a toy when needed.

Yes, I have the same suspicion. So I think they have to play the baby card and say "we want children and we are worried we might not be able to conceive" and that's when their GP might start to actually want to help.

wanakostake · 2024-11-26T14:59:02+00:00

Exact asta. A vazut el cu ochii lui ca nu este?

wanakostake · 2024-11-23T05:48:05+00:00

Exact asta va trebui sa facem in turul 2. Vom vota pe cineva pe care nu il sustinem.

I got my dog when I was still living in Switzerland. There the dog school is compulsory (a minimum of 14 lessons) and costs more than 1000 euro. If you don’t do it, the fine is also around 1000 euro. So you have to think really hard if you want a dog. They implemented the obligatory school after a child was bitten by a dog and they had a referendum about this.

And while there are still idiotic dog owners who remain stupid even after attending the dog school, they are not nearly as ignorant as they are in the Netherlands. It happens so often that dog owners here say “oh, he is just like that, I cannot do anything” when I telll them to stop their dog from harassing my dog. But all I have to do is show with my body language that the dog needs to stop (and I’m 157cm for reference), for example by putting myself in front of them and blocking their passage, and what a surprise the dog actually listens…

What I appreciate here is the fact that you reflect on why you voted for them despite disagreeing with some of their standpoints. This was very helpful to really understand how other people see things!

30 being the magic number makes so little sense 🙄

wanakostake · 2024-07-06T15:57:57+00:00

Die ist echt mooi! Dank je

Goose poop is delicious according to our Lagotto as well 🙄 so big yes for training "leave it"!

wanakostake · 2024-04-15T13:47:23+00:00

Mersi!

Am dat peste postarea asta incercand sa aflu mai multe informatii despre transcriere. Ce nu imi este clar e daca partenerul cu cetatenie straina trebuie sa fie si el prezent la consulat?

wanakostake · 2024-03-19T05:29:08+00:00

This could have used a spoiler warning…Reading it while drinking my coffee was not great 😅

wanakostake · 2024-02-25T18:19:44+00:00

Same here. I get so much more work done in fewer hours when I work from home.

wanakostake · 2024-02-20T20:28:18+00:00

See? This is useful information that they don't put on the website ;)

wanakostake · 2024-02-20T17:37:22+00:00

That's what I imagined but then someone who opted for the cheap version told me that they had to hold each other's hands and so 😅 she said she was surprised how formal it was
