Dear Santa and Rudolph,
I have been a very Good Dog this year.
I only pee in the garden when it is raining. At all other times I pee on the grass, I promise.
I only eat the cat poop if the people leave me alone without a snack, which really isn't fair.
I help the people with "clean up" by licking the floor and digging through their bags for any leftover food. This is very important because often they forget food in their bags, especially my littlest person.
I only pull on the leash if there is a squirrel or a Cat. Or sometimes another Dog.
Oh, and I suppose I should also tell you that I try hard to listen to my people, including my littlest person. Especially if she has pop corn. I do the silly thing called "training" with my big person whenever she asks, and I am very patient when she tells me over and over to put my paw on something, or push something else with my nose.
I always wait patiently for my dinner, and I sit on my mat while my people are eating their dinner, even though it smells better than mine. I always go into my crate at bed time, and I don't wake the people up in the middle of the night. I always wait when my person tells me to instead of running through a door, even if there's a Cat on the other side! (This is hard Santa, but I do it!)
I do not complain (much) when don't get a Walk because Nature is making too much rain.
And whenever my people leave, I wait for them to come back. Always. Because this is a Dog's job.
For Christmas I would like peace between Dogs. And people too. I would like something nice for my friends the Cats, like treats or catnip.
Oh, and for me? How nice of you to ask. I would like a bone, and I would like some snow to play in. And I want to spend time with my people. That's the best thing of all.
Your Good Dog,
Cobi
