Im teaching tap this summer, which is unusual for me, and I need shoes. I have an aggressive arch, and really need a rigid sole shoe. (The soles of my split sole shoes have cracked all the way through right behind the toe tap amd split soles enable bad habits in my jello feet.) The studio owner recommended Jason Samuel Smiths, but holy dollar bills, I cannot drop $200 on a teaching shoe! Does anyone have a recommendation for an affordable something?
Our cat is too smart. She opens doors and drawers, comes when she's called, uses her cutest meows to get stuff, knows commands, and now has started refusing to eat when she's fed so she can try to gorge herself on treats when it's time for subQs. We tried giving a few treats before, then just one at a time during, and she throws the most dramatic tantrum during treatment, then immediately after is all, "That was sweet, guys, I love you so much, where those snacks at??" She was super docile for the first week when she wasn't sure what was happening, but now she's learned, and even pesters us at subQ time?? Does anyone have advice for out-smarting the smartypants?
