Scruffy Is Off To Texas

Scruffy has had many happy days with his friends, but, recently one of his cousins was playing on the transformer in front of our house and met with a very unfortunate accident. It was fatal, I'm affraid. Scruffy was broken hearted.

He and his friends had a funeral and memorial service for their dearly departed friend. Hound Dog played his steel guitar in a very fitting rendition of Alvin and the Chipmunks', Where, Oh Where Are You Tonight.

All of the gang came to pay their respects. Scruffy made a few touching remarks as many tears were shed.

Because of his depression, we decided, with Scruffy, that a vacation would do him good. Mema bought Scruffy a airline ticket to visit the Johnson family, in

Texas, knowing that they were just the ones to cheer him up. So long, Scruffy. Give all of the Johnsons a big hug. Be sure to write. Hurry home, soon!
