Letters to Santa

[Donna K & Quincy]

I went to see the Santa Claus parade today with my mom and dad, all the little kids were giving letters to Santa and I think we need to do the same. So all of you good little boy and girl doodles it's time to write those letters and tell Santa what you would like for christmas this year. Be sure and tell Santa a little about yourself and your most favorite things. I don't know what I would like besides lots of tennis balls so I am looking for some good ideas. Your friend and really good doodle Quincy. ps If you haven't been a good doodle there is still time to be really good before Santa comes.

Dear Santa,
I have been a really good doodle this year, like I am every year! And I just had a birthday and got lots of my very favorite things in the world, which as you know are tennis balls and other kinds of balls, plus some yummy things to chew, so I am all set, present-wise.
But if you could, Santa, I would really like it if you could find Angie a home for Xmas. She deserves her own home and her own person to love her. And then I could have mine all to myself again!
Your friend, who's been really good all year,
Jackdoodle

Dear Santa, Please stop at my house. Do not listen to Fudge when she tells you I hog all the food, always try to push in front of her, steal socks, chew shoes, track mud into the house, and dig big holes. I just forget the rules sometimes. I would like a big jar of peanut butter, some smoked knuckle bones, our cat to move out of the house, and some dog treats. Love, Vern

Dear Santa, This is Fudge here. I will be two years old on Christmas Day and mom says I am her good dog. She said that up until last week, when I chewed a hole in her new wool blanket. I don't know why I did it, and I felt badly. Mom was mad! I have to put up with Vern and he gets on my nerves sometimes, so maybe that will count for something. I would like a whole pack of tennis balls, a jar of peanut butter, and a pretty bandanna. Love, Fudge

P.S. Vern said to tell you he needs a new dog bed too. He chewed his other one.

Dear Santa.... I really hope you visit my house this year. I am only a year old and it is my first Christmas at my mom's house.... last year, I was still a baby pup - mom picked me up on Dec. 27th. I think I have been a good doodle this year. Yes, I have made some mistakes... chewed things I shouldn't but don't we all do that as a pup? The thing I want most is for my mom to be able to walk and play with me.... she had surgery and is getting better - but she still can' t walk me or play much at all. I miss playing with my mom. Then... if you are so generous - I would love some tasty treats.... the good smelly one's like pig ears, bully sticks, etc. A few toys would be fun too! Thanks Santa!

Well we have Hanukah here in our house. We don't have a Christmas tree, but we do have a menorah, it is a big silver thing that we put these pretty candles in one everynight for 8 nights. and we get gifts every night!!!...Mom says that I had better start behaving, because Hanukah Harry isn't going to come to our house with presents for me if I don't....Well I am always good, I just don't understand what my Mom is talking about...???..whats the big deal? A doodle is curious, that is a good thing...I like the taste of acorns, Mom just freaks when I take one in my mouth, she freaks when I eat something i shouldn't....I am just a curious dood....But I know she loves me, she kisses and hugs me all the time...And she taught me to dance with her, oops that is supposed to our secret...But I will make my list, and leave it by her puter, she is always on it, so she will see what I want...Toys, treats, and more toys!!!!! AND if Santa wants to come by that is ok with me too....I will have great food for him, Latkas, instead of cookies, with his choice of applesauce or sour cream. Lots of great food here this time of the year, people food that is....Not for doodles, but I do get my tastes and treats...Nothing like my Moms brisket, or Latkas....Lol

Callie, You should get at least 8 tennis balls for Hanukkah--one for each day or each letter in the word : ) --so stockpile some in case Santa doesn't get there.

[Frannie & Callie]

Dear Santa,

I wanted to write and tell you that I have been SOOOO good this year! Last year not so much but this year I have been exceptional! I know that we're Jewish and all, but if you happen to be in my neighborhood, I'd love a new squeaky tennis ball! I may be getting one for Hanukkah but since it's so early this year I'll probably need another one by the time Christmas rolls around!

Your Furry Pal,

Callie

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Dear Santa,

I have been a pretty good Dood this year - I will let you decide just how good is "good". I am still really sorry about chewing up my dad's sunglasses for him so maybe a pair of Maui Jim's in my stocking would help that situation. Oh and there was that pair of sandals that my mom really liked - she only has one left now maybe you could give her just one size 7 1/2. Then there was the incident in the camper... hhmmmm maybe I should tell you the GOOD things I have done.... let me think .....

Ok I know - I kept the Attack Squirrels out of the yard, I just know they were vicious even though my mom just laughed at me. Then I made sure the UPS guy knew how much I liked him when I jumped all over him everytime he came to the door. I know and bring some "Good Luck" for my dad - that's what my mom always says he needs - he needs the luck to shoot the deer and then I get yummy bones. I hope "good luck" will fit in my stocking with the sandal and the sunglasses. Mom did get me a big stocking. Oh and bail money - I need some of that - I am not sure for what but my mom says I need it sometimes, or to buy a ticket to Korea - I am still not sure what all of that is about.

I know you have my back Santa - I won't even eat the cookies they leave on the plate for you like I did last year.

LOVE YA SANTA! {{HUGS}} Hunter

[Pat and Traveler]

Hi, Quincy--I've been really good too, like Cooper, who is, like, an inspiration to me! I'd like to have a dog park right outside my back door, only the two black scotties can't be there, and there are always people throwing tennis balls and squeeky toys, and that lady from the schoolyard who always gives me treats is there, and I can jump up on all the humans, and there are squirrels and bunnies to chase, and mud puddles and snow drifts and an ocean, and a big hole for all that stuff my mom calls 'grooming supplies,' and nobody can find them anymore, and there's a bunch of Kong toys with peanut butter and---oooops, my mom's coming...gotta run, please hurry Santa, whoever you are...love 'ya, Traveler

[Kaytlin and Cooper]

Dear Santa
I have been a very good girl this year! I have graduated from being left in an ex-pen when Mummy and Daddy go to work to having free run of half the house! Since then I have been very helpful... I tried to re-pot Mums plant, I chewed up the cats scratch wood so she could have a new one, I tidied up Daddys socks he left lying around the house, I emptied the bathroom garbage, I read the printer instructions so I could help set it up..... the list goes on!!!!
Im not sure what I want for Christmas..... both Mummy and Daddy work in pet stores so I already have lots of toys and treats. And today I got an early present (a new Kurgo collar to match the leash I got last week and my harness)
I think I would like a new kitty brother or sister for Christmas..... dont get me wrong, I love Merry and Pippin, and I know they love me (well, Pippin perhaps does, Merry just tolerates me) but they are starting to get a little old and dont play. I really want a kitty to play with and snuggle up to. I think Mummy would like one too (she often mentions something called a Devon Rex cat to Daddy but he says no)
Please Santa :)
Thanks
Cooper

I can't decide what to ask Santa for, there are so many things I want! Treats? Toys? Soft cushions to nap on? A new leash? How does a doodle decide?
