Dear Santa,
Hello bringer-of-presents, Mackenzie here. I know you’re getting ready for your trip so I’ll be brief.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought as to what I’d like for Christmas this year. Sure I could use another knotted rope or can of tennis balls (can you ever have too many tennis balls?), but that’s not what I want.
See, I have it pretty good here amongst the humans. They serve me my meals, give me bones, pamper me when I get sick – heck, they even let me sleep in their bed. I realize that not all dogs have it so well and, in fact, many will spend Christmas in a shelter dreaming of their forever homes. Here’s where you come in…
Since you’ll already be whizzing around the globe, would you mind to stop by and say hello to these pups? You don’t have to stay long (they know you have a lot of stops to make). Also, should you find yourself in a loving home that’s lacking a four-legged friend, maybe you could plant a thought inside the humans living there? I’m not suggesting mind control or anything (but if that’s the route you choose so be it), just a little something to let them know that their new best friend is waiting for them. I know the shelter dogs would appreciate that.
Thanks for your help.
Mackenzie
P.S. – Tell Dasher he still owes me five bucks from poker the other night. Tell’em he can just donate it to the ASPCA.
