TAILS from Wayland






Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! Boy was it great to be back in the schools this past week! We kicked off the 2009-10 Woody Tour in Hartford, KY at Wayland Elementary. Wayland is a gorgeous school - and a big school! (I almost got lost going to the water fountain!) Mrs. Harris, the media specialist, pulled out the red carpet for our visit! Everything was PAWS-atively perfect - overlooking the fact the cafeteria served corndogs for lunch. Scary, very scary! Oh well...

Here are a few photos from our visit. The last photo is of our new friend Wyatt. Wyatt made me this wiener dog made from these toys like Legos. I can't remember what the toys were called. I searched the toy department at PetSmart on Saturday, but couldn't find them anywhere. I wanted to buy some with my allowance. Anyway, Wyatt, please email me and tell me what they are called! I have been playing with the Waylon every day! (I named him Waylon after Wayland Elementary.) He can sit, he can lay down, he can stand, he can dance - he can do lots of fun things!

A great big thanks to Mrs. Harris, all the staff, teachers, parents, and students for making our first school visit of the year a huge success!

My chores are waiting for me so I better go! Have a great day! Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!

Dog Gone Wild



Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! We are so excited about our brand new story that will be coming out in the newspapers in September! So far, 61 papers have signed up and the good news is there is still time! The even better news - it's FREE! YES, FREE to your newspaper. So, if you don't see your newspaper on the list below, call them and say, "Aren't you going to run Woody's story this fall?" If they say, "We need more details," then just give them the following information from Kentucky Press Association:

Woody and Chloe present their newest serial story, "Dog Gone Wild" by Kentucky author Leigh Anne Florence and a new illustrator, Kentucky's Paul Brett Johnson. The theme this year is camping, the environment and how to be a survivor.

Never run a serial story? It's real easy and free. All it takes is just one weekly quarter page or larger to publish the serial story and illustration. Some newspapers find a business or two to help pay for the space.
The first chapter must publish the week of Sept. 14. Get started by submitting the application for the CD at www.kypress.com. Newspapers can link their subscribers to a podcast (Woody reading the story) at www.kypress.com.
This year's statewide sponsors are LG&E/KU, Secretary of States Office and KPA.

We know you are going to love the new illustrations. Everyone that has seen them says, "Wow! These are terrific! A masterpiece!" We would agree! And, if you want to be entertained, spend ten chapters with us as we learn how to survive in the wilderness. I giggle every time I think about our time camping.

Good Luck with your newspaper! You can do it! Remember, anything is possible if you Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!

Lots of Catching up to Do







Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! What an unbelievably busy month! If I have barked it before, I will bark it again, where did the month go? July is always a busy month for us. Between library visits (we had 11 of them this month), romping in the grass, and celebrating Mom's birthday, the month flew by! So, I will give you a run-down of the last few weeks. I am going to bark fast, so here you go:

Our Gang saw some of our favorite people in the world! At the Lee County Public Library, they were wearing our shirts! How cool to see the library staff with my pawprint on their back! In Grant County, the library was filled to the brim - overflowing in fact! In London (KY as you have guessed by now), they came out in droves. In fact, The Sentinel Echo said, "Fans Flock to See Woody." If that wasn't exciting enough, we spent some time on Broadway - at the Broadway United Methodist Church on Broadway Street in Paducah - my birthplace! We finished up the month in Mayfield and saw so many of our good friends at the Graves County Public Library. We had so many hugs, kisses, and puppy dog treats this month. I wish I could rewind the month like I do my Scooby Doo videos and go through it all again!

I have other things to tell you too - like our great visit to Jeffersonville, IN. I can't wait to give you an update on the newspaper list for our new story, "Dog Gone Wild." I will catch you up in the next day or two. For now, the only catching I hope to do involves a fish. Dad said he would take us to the lake to see if we can catch a fish. The last time I went fishing, the only thing I caught was a shoe.

Have a great day! Stay cool, stay tuned, and Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!
