Recently I wrote about my dog Radar going back to school. As is usually the case, it is the owner that is getting more "education" than the dog. Most of the time, dogs will do what they're supposed to do... if they're told to do it. If they're consistently expected to do it.

This is often how we find Radar during the summer.
A cool wooden floor + a hot dog = a great combination.

It's midway through the summer--for me as a teacher, it's more than midway. Beginning in August,
something will happen. Either we will be planning on meeting in person in our classrooms, or we're going to start planning online classes, or we're going to create some hybrid approach--perhaps some in-person and smaller classes combined with online ones.
As a freelance writer, I need to follow the same guidelines the
dog whisperers shared with me, as I allowed my 84-pound handsome guy drag me up and down the driveway as I
ran the gauntlet showed off my
lack of dog handling skills.
If you'd like to read what I learned about myself as a writer (there's an even better photo of Radar as a bonus), check out my
post. And please leave a comment about any "old dog" habits you're dealing with, along with what new skills you're trying to work on.
