...it's acceptable to eat lunch at 11.00 and dinner at 15.00.

...it no longer seems excessive to spend $100 on drinks one night.

...you know that "religious holiday" means "let's get pissed".

...you find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than in the name of the wine.

...you enjoy the taste of lutefisk (jelly-like, bad-smelling fish) and cod prepared in any way, including fried cod tongues.

…you can see mountains and the ocean, no matter where you are.

…you expect all dinner parties and meetings to start precisely on time, if not before.

Men denne tok jeg ikke..?

"..your wardrobe no longer has suits, but blue shirts and mustard coloured sportjackets." Var/er det en trend jeg har "gått glipp av"?

Tror det kommer av at nordmenn går veldig uformelt kledd. Man ser det spesielt i arbeidslivet syns jeg i forhold til andre land jeg har jobbet i.

Morsom artikkel:-)

      Hadde vært gøy med litt mer aktivitet her inne ja. Føler jeg ser det der ute i den virkelige verden også, er synkende aktivitet på mange arenaer. Her går det fremdeles i hund og konkurranser, mest RL.

      Veldig synd egentlig at det er blitt sånn. For det var himla gildt her en stund.  Lurer også på hvordan det går med de eldre brukerene, og lurer på om de holder på med hund fortsatt.

      Det er et helt greit alternativ for hunder som ikke tåler kylling. Man må nesten prøve det på egen hund for å se om det funker. Jeg har prøvd det bare for gøy, hverken eller synes min hund

      Er en golden retriever noe for oss?

      Av Debbie · Skrevet

      Tror en vanlig golden hadde passet dere ypperlig, bare vær nøye med linjene. En flat coated hadde også fungert bra.  Jeg har jaktgolden, og har hatt , og kjenner flere. Jeg tror ikke det vil passe for dere, de trenger mer arbeid. En god golden er vel så bra. Dere kan vurdere labrador, de har ofte mer futt i ræva:) Men vær obs på linjer med alt for tunge hunder, og noen hannhunder kan være skikkelig hannhunder med mye hormoner.

      Tiss i senga

      Av simira · Skrevet

      Da ville jeg jo ha byttet madrass, men kanskje ventet til du har fått litt mer kontroll på problemet. Det er veldig mange ting som spiller inn her. Aktivitetsnivå og hverdagslydighet generelt, får hundene det de trenger av aktivisering og trening, har de grunnleggende hverdagslydighet inne, osv.  Når de har lært seg at det hjelper å begynne å bjeffe midt på natten er det nok en større jobb å snu det, men ikke umulig. En mulig måte å trene de til å sove et annet sted er å legge en madrass i nærheten der og sove i samme rommet, men adskilt med grinder. Det forutsetter først at de er trygge og slapper av i sengene sine i utgangspunktet. Dette krever masse trening av hundene både sammen og hver for seg. Det er vanskelig å gi veldig spesifikk hjelp uten å ha sett hundene. Det kan være du har nytte av å få hjelp av en hundetrener/adferdskonsulent for å legge en plan. Hvis du ikke vet om noen du kjenner og stoler på kan du lete her: https://atferdskonsulenter.no/finn-konsulent/hund
