fwiw I dunno about the pizzarettes, but I really like raclette grills for social dinners (which again, covid, but...). it does take a little bit to get going, but you can very easily end up with everyone very satisfied in 30-60 minutes, especially if you're using both the top and underneath, and it tends to lead to a lot of good chatting during the meal.

@Stephie Yay!

Does anyone have a few good ideas for dog biscuits? Technically they are just hard crackers or so... our puppy needs a few “can nibble longer” treats. And the store bought ones are so small, they are gone immediately.

no, sorry, never cooked for a dog. Not even for our Cerberus.

How is the young guy doing? Growing as you watch him?

That’s a pretty accurate description. It seems he converts every calorie straight into longer bones.

And how does family life feel now, with a dog?

I love it!

It’s challenging (like with all babies), but a lot of fun.

Does he always obey? Nah, of course not, but we’re pretty good on track, considering his age.

sounds lovely. And you are really dedicated to him.

People often comment how cute/pretty/beautiful he is - or how well behaved. Which he obviously is only to impress others.

@rumtscho Simple motivation: Raising a well behaved dog now saves me a lot of trouble later when he’s 40kg of muscle with four-wheel drive and sharp teeth.

when you put it that way...

but actually, I missed the point to train my cat enough when she was younger, and now she's much more assertive when I try stuff she doesn't like

so, the knowledge of the future is not always sufficient motivation. It seems you have something extra (might just be better organization).

There’s a huge difference between 6kg cat and 40kg dog. And a puppy demands interaction.

So when you are walking the dog anyway, you simply included a few short exercises. And every now and then during the day.

For some reason, kibble is great when fed out of the hand. In the bowl, it’s just dog food.

@rumtscho are you still here?

@Stephie I wandered off to have dinner and now have my father on skype

Enjoy!

Set to 10 minutes, @rumtscho.

It seems to be set at 1 hour

Looks lovely!

Thanks! Just wanted to share that photo.
