EXTRA POINT
When we went to the final Penn State football game at the end of November we left Griff the Wonder Dog with one of Mrs. BGA's former co-workers and were sure his overnight bag had his favorite toy along with a leash, food and other important items.
When we picked him up we forgot to get his toy, which we call The Squirrel. To be clear, whatever it is, it's not really a squirrel. I believe it's the fourth one we have had because he love the others to pieces. This one is patched with Gorilla tape and would be on its last legs if it had any . . . which is doesn't. We did give him a plush, relatively realistic squirrel for Christmas and while he plays with it, he doesn't seem to love it the way he loves the ratty old one.
Mrs. BGA is having lunch with her former co-worked today and will pick up The Squirrel while she's there. I'm very much looking forward to when Griff is first reunited with his old friend and napping partner.
