Just wait until your dog finds some cowshit to roll around in. Think how happy you’ll both be!
I never allow her to get close to any dog poop along the path. We avoid contact with all other dogs. She is searching for the right smelling pee. Sometimes, when she finds the best pee on a grassy lawn, she will roll on it. I suppose the smell of a dog's urine tells a lot of things to other dogs. The point I'm trying to make is she is obviously so excited to explore the neighborhood, that enthusiasm makes me enthused also, enjoy simple things, like just walking a dog, and seeing thru the eyes of a dog, like meditation or a trance-like alpha state. That is my highest mental achievement.

I’ve never had a dog that was walked on a leash (5 dead, 2 alive) they’ve had hectares to run around in the bush, go swimming, whatever they want. That’s changing since we’re not the only people living out here now. They still have a hectare to run around in without getting in anyone else’s business. Swimming hole too.

You’re not walking your dog, your dog is walking you.

Let us exclude examinations or courses of study, and instead focus on specific mental achievements. A problem, let's say, that took great mental effort to solve. Maybe a concept or point of view you struggled with, but finally came to understand and had that "aha moment." Or maybe it could be an event or set of circumstances that required sustained mental endurance (again, excluding exams).
:unsure:

I couldn't think of anything.
