The first day of Monday teaching schedule ran smoothly. The students were all surprised, and quite pleased with the new study. I couldn’t believe how much more room there was.

Just as my last student was leaving, magical mechanic Mike Rogers showed up to fix the vans starter. It was at this time I noticed Flyer singing to take a fast downhill slide and health. She refused to walk out to the front porch until I coaxed her out. Finally, I carried her off the front porch and she wobbled over to the parking lot where Mike and neck were working on the van. She mostly just laid there, with her eyes closed, however, when a neighbor walking her dog passed by Flyer was alert and ready to chase it. It was rather quite hilarious. The remainder of the evening she just laid in my study with her eyes closed barely moving. I lay down beside her and playing solitaire on my phone while petting her. When was time to go upstairs to bed, she readily got up and made her way up the stairs. After a few minutes all the dogs were settled in and I was sound asleep.

Several times that of the night I turn the light on the check on her breathing. This morning she bounced up and was ready to start her day. Flyers tail was wagging as I prepared her breakfast and she eagerly joined the other dogs outside for the morning potty break. Just returned to her favorite corner in the study where she is slept for the past hour. That seems to be all that she does most of the time, sleep and occasionally go greet a student with resounding barks tail wagging.

It’s almost time to start round two of summer teaching schedule. This is another long day and instead of 19 students I have 23 students. Fortunately there is a great mix of voice, saxophone, and piano students where I am actively playing the piano the entire time. That would do me in.
