Meet "The Dog." The Dog has been in the Riskedahl family for about 8 or 9 years. He lives with all of us. He moves around from house to house. Right now, he is at my house. You see The Dog has become the family prank. When we received him as a gift all those years ago, my family consisted of 5 different households. (My parents, each of my 3 sisters, and me.) My mom thought it would be a fun family game to sneak The Dog into each others' houses.
This dog even made it into the MTC with me! My sister, Ronda, sneaked it into my suitcase when I wasn't watching.
I almost took it to Argentina with me, but worried my baggage would weigh too much, so when I left a few boxes for Ronda to pick up at the MTC, The Dog remained in Utah.
When Jason and I were recently married, we lived in a little apartment in Springville. I invited Ronda and Leesa and their families down for dinner. The next time I did laundry... I found the little guy on my washing machine.
One time, my brother-in-law, Ron, put Livia in her carseat for me, and very willingly took her out to the car too... only for me to discover a little prize on top of her when I unzipped the carseat cover at home.
This week, Leesa gave me some tubs and boxes of little girl clothes and shoes... and one little doggie inside one of the boxes.
It's fun to see where The Dog ends up and how he gets there...
so, watch out family... he's on the prowl... again....

How fun! A couple of my sisters had a little garfield cat that had magnets in its paws that they would pass around with a few of their friends. They would throw it at each others cars sometimes and it would stick- sneak it into each others houses. it would be fun with the whole family.
Ha! That's funny. We have a t-shirt that pops up at our annual white-elephant exchange. It has a very unflattering picture of my Uncle Jim on it saying, "Jim's #1 Fan!"
very cool! sounds like the moose on my dad's side!
