Whitley Gave Me A Hickey & Will's Update

NO that is an inexactitude.
 I just teasing with you!  Whitley told me I could take the cookie.  Whitley it don't taste like a cookie to me!  Whitley gave me The Liebster Award.
So I got to thank her.  Thank You Muchly Whitley.

Rules, she say I have to follow the rules JEEZ!  Who is she kidding, why everybody know this scot and rules just go out the window unless they are the rules Lee has set for me.  Why it is always Wills do this, Wills do that, Wills stop, Wills come on, not now Wills, Wills leave the bathroom door shut!
Okie Dokie I will answer a few questions because Whitely asked nicely.
1. What are your favoritest treat?
 Decorated cake slices from Servatii's Bakery.  Oh I will sing and do a dance for a little cake in my bowl. 

 2. What are your favoritest toy?
Toy well I love Kong Toys and I don't destroy my toys, why I make them last and last.

 3.  Has ya ever killed anything?
I have deaded a mole and bitten a tail off of a squirrel.  Yep I still see him and I call him Stubby.  He stays out of my fenced in yard.

 4.  How barky is ya?  Quiet, medium, loud, or Whitley-level?
Barky only if I have something to bark about, other dogs on my property mostly.  Not at people or kids.

 5.  Do ya get scared of storms or does ya ignore em?
You kidding storms, fireworks nothing bothers me.  Well a meteor did pass over while I was going potty and light up the night sky and made a sonic boom.  I was shooting poopers and wizzing as I ran for the door, so I guess you could say that scared me shitless.

 6.  What are your favorite nap spot?
Why under the big bed of course.

 7.  Do ya like summer better or winter?
Makes no difference just as long as it is not raining or snowing.

 8.  Who are your favorite peep?
Only have one, sometimes she is my favorite other times I ignore her.

 9.  What are da furthest from home ya has ever been?
Lee does not travel anymore so I am her scot that never got to go nowhere.  WHAT! Why that sucks.

 10.  Do ya like baffs?
Yes I do.  Got one yesterday.

 11.  Do ya ever watch TV?
Depends on what's on the boob tube.  I prefer to read a good book with my reader students, like Pip's book. 
Okie Dokie my interrogation is over am I released on bond yet?

Now I am suppose to pass it along.  So I pick Military Wife & Pug Life because they are new to my blog and I want to know more about their lives.  They can answer the same questions I was asked. Oh and if they follow the rules they don't have to thank me, just don't hate me.  An take the Liebster cookie on the side of my blog.

Now I want to tell you about my reader student who hurt me.  Well the little boy has stopped three times since I last mentioned him.  The last time was to say goodbye school is out and they are leaving subsidized housing and Cincinnati.  Lee feels awful for the boy who is eight years old.  We first met him when he was six and had moved here with his grandparents from Appalachia.  The Appalachian Poverty Diane Sawyer Reported On.  Cincinnati had an influx of people from this area for awhile but sadly the Center of Appalachian Culture closed in 2014.
He did not know the alphabet nor how to write his name.  He never found anyone to fit in with.
Truly the one thing that Lee sees that may save this child is his imagination.  He could tell you the greatest stories of going to baseball games with his Dad who never was in the picture nor baseball games that never happened.
He did not ask to see me the last time only if he could have a picture and Lee always takes a picture of me with each kid we have tried to help.  Lee packed him a tote of things, giving him all 5 Sets of Phonetic Reading Cards which cost us a lot of money and three early reader books and our picture together.  Lee also put in five preaddressed envelopes with notepaper and crayon with forever stamps and told him to try and write us and promised we would write him back and send pictures.  He hugged Lee around the neck so tightly and left with his tote only looking back when he got to the top of our street.
Sadly I did not say goodbye.  I know Lee is very sad and I have been sticking by her ever since he left.
The vet said last Monday I am healed and I will not need surgery at this time.

I cannot face looking at you because I have been bad this morning and I broke Lee's camera.  Lee cannot get the lens to open.  Our camera is broken because of me.
Thanks for being a  friend
Traveling down the road and back again
Your heart is true and your a friend of  mine

  4. I am so very happy that you do not need surgery. AARRROOO for that. But it is very sad about the little boy and his lost of love of Sweet William. My heart goes out to him and Sweet William. I hope he keeps in touch with Lee and Sweet William. I can not believe that you broke Lee's camera. It must be because you are such a Good Looking Scottie.
    Your friend,

    2. I fly must have gotten on your tail and you ended up with a sore head after the camera hit you when you moved forward because of the surprise of the fly on your tail.
      Sweet William can do no wrong in by book.

  10. Hi William,
    Mommy and I love your blog with all the scottie background. You and and your Lee are so kind to give the little human boy some pressies. Mommy used to be a teacher, and she used to teach small humans reading things. I think that's how I learned to like books.That's great you don't have to go to the dogtor for surgies. That sounds scary. Your award is pretty. I don't think your Lee will be to upset about the flashie beast, as she loves you more than the flashie beast.

  14. We thought that was really nice to give the boy those envelopes and stamps and crayons and stuff.

    We r also glad u dont need surgery.

    I think everyone would react just the same way u did if they were in the middle of going potty and a sonic boom from a meteor hit. Run and take cover!

  16. Wow, I am now completely edumacated in the affurs of Sweet William the Scot!
    Oops! Did you 'pawlogize when you broke Lee's camera?? My uncle broke my Opa's Leica Camera way way back in about 1887, no wait, I think it was more like 1962-ish...he was rather um...lets just say he was not happy, BOL! (But he made a note to himself not to leave any future camera in reach of a 5 year old...)

    Glad the vet man declared you healed. Pawsome!

    So sad about that little boy. I do hope he sends you something in one or all of those envelops:)

    And this as a reminder to my dogretary that I too am supposed to eat a cookie from Whitley's Liebster Cookie Jar! Sheesh, its just that I am held hostage by her working hours and her supposedly necessary chores...oh well...Woofs! Have a great week, bark at the storms if you get any, and stay away from meteors...

  20. Oh no, a broken camera lens and a goodbye? It isn't a good day there. Maybe both you and Lee can go and enjoy a piece of cake together? I am super glad you don't need surgery too.

  21. Oh SW and Lee, our heart just breaks for that little boy. Do you know where he and his grandparents are moving to? Mom says kids like this are what often made teaching, for her, both rewarding and very difficult. We can only pray that he is going to be ok.
    We are sorry to hear about your camera Lee, we hope that you will be able to get it fixed.
    Now let's end on a happy note - we are SO happy to hear that you won't be needing surgery SW. That is good news indeed.
    Sending you both BIG licks & much love,
    Wally & Sammy

  22. Well now, Sir William, who wouldn't love learning all those thingies about you from that interrogation?!? I surely did...and am surprised you like baths. Ugh! Really? Oh, how said about your little reader boy. I sure do wish you would have been able to say goodbye to him...I bet he was just as upset as Lee. The poor thing. I am glad you butt is better and that you will NOT need surgery. I knew all that POTP we were sending would work!

  23. Sw. William thank you for the update on the little boy. I thank your Lee did a very kind and wonderful thing to fix the boy a going away gift. Knowing that she has forgiven him is a big thing for an 8 year old. He will carry Lee's kindness in his heart for many years.
    We are so glad to know that you have healed and quite frankly I would probably not want to see the little boy either...
    Oh dear we hope maybe the camera might just need a rest then it will work. Once Mom's lens got kinda lazy too.
    Hugs Madi your itty bitty kitty friend
