Searching for interesting smells is a good stimulus for the dog’s mind. Various search hobbies are popular with dog owners, and this can be seen in the mushroom courses at dog schools.

Mushroom hunting is usually thought of as a hobby of the Italian lagotto breed. They are especially known as truffle hunters. They still do not have exclusive rights to mushrooms.

The best deal for you depends on what you value. When comparing electricity contracts, in addition to the price, you should think about, for example, your own need for security or financial flexibility.
Exchange electricity seemed expensive, but Paaso expected the price to drop in the summer. The family tried to reduce the electricity bill by scheduling laundry and dishwashing at night. At that time, electricity on the exchange has traditionally been cheap, because the demand is lower.
– In the end, the price didn’t drop much even on some nights. I thought that I had to take a fixed-term fixed-price contract so that I could predict the price a bit.
In the new contract, the family pays the same price for electricity for two years. Paaso is satisfied with his contract, because he noticed that the price of a similar contract doubled the very next day. If the prices drop within two years, the new contract has a clause that allows him to switch to a cheaper contract.
