Barking Mad: "Howling Lessons"



BARKING MAD
The Adventures of Napolean, a Very Anxious Therapy Dog

"Howling Lessons"


Napolean, being a wolfhound, has the blood-curdling howl of a wolf. Actually it sounds more like something out of a horror movie like "Hound of the Baskervilles" (Clink link below for an accurate audio representation)

Napolean likes to take every opportunity to practice his beastly howl. Including the days when I take flute lessons from my house. It begins from the moment the student and parent arrive at our doorstep..



After this warm welcome, we then proceed with the lesson. However, Napolean likes to join in the music:


The student's parent usually waits in the lounge room, where they partake in various fascinating activities like reading books and tablets. Napolean, however, has a memory span roughly equivalent to that of a goldfish. This means that he constantly forgets that the parent is still in the house. As a consequence, every time he wanders aimlessly back into the lounge room, his tiny wolfhound-mind is blown by the apparition of a random human.


Eventually, he will get used to the presence of the parent again, and will wander back into the music room.


This cycle repeats indefinitely...















           
                                                                                                       ..... until the end of the lesson:




... and I wonder why I don't have more students...



*THE END*
