well, just in case you didN'T know, George H Herrington of Wichita, Kansas obtained a patent in 1881 for compression springs on each foot for 'leaping great distances and heights'. Guess that makes him the father of mid century mod pogo sticks that I remember from my girlhood. When raven girl issued the Ways to challenge today to hop, skip, LEAP, or jump, I couldn't help but think of this piggie pogo'ing.
His color doesn't 'read' well today...he really is a lovely shade of pastel pink.
I made a spring out of a pink paperclip. Tim's small talk sticker up on top is a little reminder bounce gentler, skip, LEAP, or jump over any obstacle in the way.
And GO WHOLE HOG...that's my motto...
Have a marvelous day wherever you find yourself! Thanks for your comments.

Susan, this is hysterical!! A pig on a pogo.........you just have the greatest stamps!! Wonderful reminder of days past, and that sentiment is perfect. As usual! Hugs, dear friend.
