Another Mama and puppies that need your help!

When we saw Abbie and her two puppies in a high-kill Alabama shelter, we knew their chances weren’t good.
A scared brindle mama and two mixed-breed pups aren’t often the ones people rush to save.
But we couldn’t forget her eyes.
Today, Abbie, Alice, and Aimee are safe.
If you’d like to help with their vet care, we’d be so grateful.♥️

A quick trip to Iowa City for the IMTA Conference!

A wonderful opportunity to meet with other teachers, learn from our guest clinicians, hang out behind the Klais organ, and of course, Hawk like Herky!

This post is a huge thank you for rallying around mama Daisy & her 3 surviving boys 🥹♥️!
Daisy suffered through 18 hours of labor before being surrendered to us for vet care & an emergency c-section.
3 of her pups had already passed & we lost little Clover yesterday 💔.
Together this community & the wonderful donor matches this week helped us come within $500 of her expected bill which is just unbelievable!!!
We don’t have enough words of thanks to express our gratitude of the generosity towards this little mama.
Thank you 🥹♥️!!!
We will continue to provide updates!

Imagine being just a year old, in distress after 18 hours of labor, scared, hurting, & needing emergency surgery to survive.
We said yes to helping, saving mom & 4 puppies.
Now we need help covering the cost of saying yes.
Donations are matched today ♥️

One of the blessings of teaching that many don't see is the camaraderie that grows among students. Watching these little ladies cheer each other on at auditions, both as friends and competitors, was truly heart-warming.

@Starbucks your store in McAlester, OK could use a lesson or two on Southern hospitality. A staffer of yours just double overed in angst on the counter when our family walked in to order. Apparently a lavender chai is too difficult to make, and tossing our cookie in anger, yikes!

Today the studio celebrates Evangeline and her hard work performing in Level C for District Auditions!

She placed Honorable Mention! Evangeline also placed herself on the Theory Honor Roll with a score of 96%!
