Dear Santa Paws,<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Santa Paws, I\u2019ve been a good girl this year, really I have. The \u2018Vegetable trough incident\u2019 was just a momentary lapse and I really didn\u2019t mean to break Aristotle earlier in the year. I have been good at cleaning up everything that Mum has dropped on the kitchen floor. I\u2019ve been really good at acting as a hot water bottle by getting into her bed every night. I\u2019ve remembered to cheer Mum up when she\u2019s needed it and always clear my bowl at meal times. I will admit, I\u2019m not quite so well behaved if I don\u2019t get the attention I think I deserve, so when Mum\u2019s on the phone I may be a little loud. Overall though, I think you\u2019d say I\u2019ve been a good dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ready<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What I would like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With all that in mind, I thought I might tell you the things I\u2019d like to find in my Christmas stocking, if it\u2019s ok with you. Please can I have a trip to see Dad in Switzerland really soon? I miss him and I miss my family out there. I miss my mountain and the snow too. Please can I have long sunny walks with Mum? This staying at home is ok for a while, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s really doing either of us any good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d like to have a fun day and go to Crufts too. I miss seeing my friends. It\u2019s hard when you can\u2019t get close enough to sniff the dogs and humans you like being around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d quite like a vegetable trough of my own so that Mum couldn\u2019t tell me off if I want to climb in and eat the veg. At least it would save the argument if we didn\u2019t have to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of all<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What I\u2019d like most of all is for all my friends and family to stay safe and come through this dreadful time ready to be able to enjoy life again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh and I want you to stay safe too, Santa. I wouldn\u2019t want anything to go wrong with your travels. I hope all the little boys and girls go to bed early on Christmas eve so that none of them compromise your safety. You\u2019re being very brave being prepared to make all your deliveries trusting that humans will make sure that everything has been disinfected for your arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give my love to Rudolph. Tell him I think he\u2019s great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n
