Zip-uh-dee-do-dah!

Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! Hope you are having a great day! It is raining here at our doghouse in Shepherdsville. It seems to be raining lots lately, but that's okay. It gives me a chance to stay in more, read books, play checkers with my siblings, and catch up on emails.

Our friends from Ms. Matthis's class at Owensboro 5/6 Center have been keeping my inbox filled with great emails! I was so excited yesterday to see all the emails come in that my paws got so crazy and I hit the wrong button. Unfortunately, the button I hit was "DELETE!" Whoops! Thanks to Mom, she was able to fetch the emails for me. So, if you sent me an email and I haven't replied, that is why! Sometimes I can be so clumsy and impulsive!

Anyway, if you are reading UNLEASHED, you know that Doc Albert put together a Rx Box for Chloe and me. Our trainer this week had us zip line! Talk about being a scaredy cat! I asked students to email me to tell me other places in KY we could zipper, uh, zip line. I copied the emails from our friends in Ms. Mathis's class. I copied them word for word so you could see how terRUFFic they were! Hopefully I didn't miss any emails. If I missed your email, send me another one so I can add it to this great list! Okay, here goes:

If I want to go zip line, I have got to do my chores! So, I better skee-daddle! Have a great day, keep the emails coming, and Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!

Unleashed

Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! Hopefully you are reading Unleashed, participating in the activities, and listening to me read the chapter each week. We are receiving tons of emails regarding the story. In fact, students in Ms. Tina Matthis's class at Owensboro 5 and 6 Center have been emailing me plenty of suggestions on how Chloe and I can get some exercise. The suggestions have been terRUFFic - and sound like so much fun! In fact, some of them didn't even seem like exercise at all - but Mom and Dad reminded us that exercise can be enjoyable!

We combined a list of all the answers and included them for you to read. Chloe and I copied them exactly the way the email was written. We also listed the first names of all our contributors below. When we get fit because of these suggestions, we want to make sure our friends get the credit! Maybe you can find some new ways to exercise too!

Thanks again everyone for the ideas! We can't wait to try them out! Unfortunately, it is raining puppy dogs and kitty cats here at our doghouse in Shepherdsville so exercising outside isn't a possibility now. Mom said that wasn't an excuse. She said that push ups, pull ups, curl ups, squats, Jumping Jacks, and lots of other activities could be done inside. When I put on my skates and started skating through the living room, Mom explained skating was an outside activity. Oh well, I guess I will work on curl ups - then I'm going to curl up in the bed for a cat nap!

Keep the emails coming and Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!

UNLEASHED - Chapter 1

Kentucky Greetings, WoodyWatchers! It is a rainy day here at our doghouse in Shepherdsville! Chloe and I have finished our lunch, completed our chores, and are getting ready to play a game of Chinese Checkers! Before we pulled all the marbles out, I wanted to show you an email we received earlier from our friends at Simmons Elementary in WOODYford County. Last year, Ms. Logan's 3rd Grade Reading Class followed Doghouse Divided. Already, her brand new 3rd Graders are reading UNLEASED. Here was an email Chloe and I received last evening:

Hi Woody!

This is Ms. Logan at Simmons Elementary! I have a whole new group of 3rd graders in my reading class this year and they are so excited about reading your new book! They all remember when you came to visit us last year! I hope you and Chloe (and your mom and dad) are doing well.

Here is what my class predicts is in your Rx box:

-Healthy Foods/Water/Fruit Juice
-A book or cookbooks about healthy living
-An exercise machine

We are looking forward to reading chapter 2 and finding out! Hopefully you will be able to watch what foods you eat and get some more exercise so your test scores go down at the doctor!

Talk to you soon,

Ms. Logan's 3rd Grade Reading Class

Mindy Logan
3rd Grade Teacher
Simmons Elementary

A cookbook, you say? An exercise machine? Hmmmm... Interesting! I guess you will have to read the next chapter to see if you're correct! By the way, don't you love our new illustrator, Mr. Chris Ware? And if you haven't listened to the podcast, make sure you do so. Everyone thinks it is so much fun listening to me read the story!

I better go. Chloe just brought me the Chinese Checkers game. She said some of the pieces are missing! Uh oh, I think I lost my marbles!

Stay dry, keep the comments coming, and Work and Dream like a BIG DOG!
