Lucky "Game Hat" Mauled, Local Dog Suspected
Ok, I never intentionally made the decision that this particular red hat was going to be my lucky "Game Hat". However, if you look at the photos from most Games I've been in to date, I've worn this hat. Perhaps that's how lucky Game hats come to be.
Anyway, why am I even mentioning this? Well, after I got back home from Shinteki Decathlon 3, I did a pretty lazy job of unpacking - basically, stuff was left wherever I happened to drop it. In the case of my hat, I left it on the coffee table rather than hanging it back in the closet where it normally lives. Unfortunately, this was easily within the reach of curious dogs. When I wandered into the living room the following morning, I found my hat in the middle of the floor - and it had what appeared to be some relatively minor dog chew (detail in photo), but clearly dog chew nonetheless!
My two dogs Bounder and Daisy were each looking a bit guilty but there was no clear evidence who was to blame (other than me for leaving it out and vulnerable). But based on prior experience, I suspect that Bounder may have been the midnight hat molester. He's somewhat notorious for absconding with inappropriate items - I've even managed to catch him in the act on occasion:
