For the rest of the holiday season, I (Wojo) won’t be writing about what Riley is doing. This is because a very special guest has been sent all the way from the North Pole by none other than the jolly guy himself, Santa Claus.
Here’s the first note from Elf Joey:
Wojo told me to write about myself, so here goes. I’m Joey “Babyface” Elfprano. I been working for Santa for about 10 years now.
If I look familiar to you it’s because my “family” was portrayed in that TV show “The Elfpranos” that was presented on the Elftime network. I was raised on the streets of New York City, and I’m known for keeping people in line.
I might as well tell you, as with the Google and all that, you could figure it out anyway: I was arrested and brought up on charges of racketeering. Instead of doing time, I was given the choice to work for Santa. I built stuff in the toy department of his workshop for a bunch of years, then because of good behavior, they let me take on the job of bein’ The Elf on the Shelf. I’m good with this. Gets me out of that place—no offense, but all those elves singing and all, it can drive a guy like me crazy.
Gotta tell ya, I really don’t understand why I’ve been sent to watch over Riley. I’ve been here for a coupla nights, and he don’t seem like no bad dog. I sit on his crate, and he sleeps. We’ve gotten to know each other a lil bit, as the photos show.
I’ll be hanging around until the holidays end. Santa is makin’ me write about this because it’s the first time he sent an Elf to watch over a mutt. Guess that makes me a guinea pig or whatever…
But I’m certainly NOT a rat.
I remain,
