My Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

I have tried very hard to be a good dog this year, so here is my Christmas wish list. As you can see it is not very long, but some of the items on it may be quite tricky for you to arrange.

First of all, I would like a quiet Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, I love visitors, but my parents tend to get a bit busy when visitors are around, and I miss out on walks and play sessions. Please don’t let too many small crawling people come to visit. Last time they visited they pulled my tail and even stole my toys, which really isn’t nice.

The best bit about Christmas is all the food. Turkey, pumpkin pies and chocolate all smell delicious and I am very keen to try them all, but apparently I am not allowed to as they could make me very sick. I hope no one leaves them lying around as I am not very good at resisting temptation, and frankly it's just cruel and unusual punishment.

As far as actual presents go there isn’t much that I need (however it could be argued that I deserve a lot based on my good beahvior all year). A new Kong would be good as mine is looking a bit chewed and tatty. Kongs are definitely the best way to eat - so much more fun than a boring food bowl. Having said that, I would be quite happy to try out any of the other puzzle feeders.

Also, please bring me squeaky toys and treats. Lots of treats actually. Did I mention that I really like pork ears? And, most importantly - NO CLOTHES please.

Look forward to seeing you on Christmas Eve. I promise not to chase the reindeer but please shout ‘hello’ before you come down the chimney. I wouldn’t want to mistake you for a burglar.


Tail wags and licks,
FLASH

PS. Please, please don’t let my parents make me wear the reindeer horns.
