It is that time of the year where we have to get our paws on a pen and shoot off a letter to Santa at the North Pole. I’ve been writing my letters for a couple years now, so I have it down pretty well, and I think Santa likes me as I usually get most of what I ask for.
This is the first year for Bailie to actually write a letter to Santa. Last year she was too young and didn’t really understand the whole Christmas/Santa Claus thing.
Bert actually had the nerve to show up when we were writing our letters. He has gotten naughtier over the last year not nicer, so he has no business asking Santa for anything. I guess he got the point as he was trying to cover his face with his paw so no one would recognize him in the photo!
Bailie was having some trouble writing her Dear Santa letter on her own, so I had her sit by me under the tree for inspiration and I could also help her out a bit. I thought you all might want to see what we wished for, so below are our letters to Santa.
First I have my letter:
Dear Santa,
I hope things are well at the North Pole and you have lots of snow this winter. I have been a very good girl this year. I help my sisters, work hard on my nose work, and help out Mom when I can. I don’t have a lot of things on my list, but I hope you can get me what I need.
First of all, I need A LOT of cat repellent. That cat bro Bert is taking over my stuff, mainly my window bed and I can’t get him out! I think if I had some cat repellent, it might solve my problem.
I would also like some new collars from Up Country, my favorite collar store. I have lots of nice collars, as you know, but a girl can never be fashionable enough.
A nice big bone and/or wabbit jerky from Jones Chews would be pawsome!
The last thing I would like to as for is a Kong. I got to try one recently and really liked it. I would like one in my size and maybe in pink if you have one.
As usual, I will leave treats and water out for your reindeer on the 24th. Happy and safe travels!
Love, Emma the GBGV
Next is Bailie’s letter to Santa Claus:
Hi Santa,
It’s me, little Bailie ๐ Well, I’m not so little anymore, but still the family baby! You may have heard bad rumors about me but they really aren’t so bad. I’ve tried real hard to be a good girl this past year, but sometimes I am still a puppy and can’t help myself. I mean that banana caper…it was just bananas, and they are healthy for me to eat anyway. The pillows I shredded from Mom’s bed were old and needed to be replaced, so I was just getting the process moving. I did rip and destuff my own bed which I regret deeply. Now I have to try and squeeze into my old baby bed, I wish I had that nice bed back. You see, I wasn’t all that bad, no one was hurt or injured. I do have a couple things on my wishlist for Christmas:
Most of all, I need a new bed for Mom’s office so I don’t have to squish into my baby bed. I promise to leave the new one in one piece!
I would like some new antlers to munch on.
Krinkle toys are my favorites and I barely have any, so I could use some more.
My stuffy supply is a bit thin these days too, so if you could leave a few of those it would be great (preferably with squeakers).
How about some nice bones and chews?
I’m a pretty happy girl, and don’t need much. Hope you can overlook my mistakes this past year! Remember I did get my CGC Title in the summer, so I can’t be all that bad!
Love, Bailie PS: Hugs to your cute reindeer!
Katie said she wasn’t going to write a letter this year. She has what she needs and health is her only wish. She promised, being a Kuvasz guard dog, to guard our letters in the mailbox. She is such a nice and kind big sister!
A funny thing happened yesterday morning. Mom and Bailie were out for their morning run. All of the sudden, three large deer went bounding across the road in front of them, ran through some yards, disappearing in the distance. Bailie had never seen deer before and asked Mom about them. Mom said that the reindeer need to stay in shape for Christmas Eve, and this time of year, they are working on timing and speed to ensure they can get Santa around the world in one night. Bailie was so impressed, she has been watching out the window for the “deer in training” ever since!
Breaking News!
My sources at the North Pole Intel Office are telling me that certain elves will soon be giving away cold, hard, cash! I love that green stuff, especially at this time of year! Stay tuned to this blog on Thursday for more details!
Letters to Santa are about justifying mischief, so I am joining theย Monday Mischiefย blog hop brought to you byย Alfieโs Blog,ย Snoopyโs Dog Blog,ย My Brown Newfies.
I hope Santa brings you all everything you ask for. You were certainly good doggies. (Not so sure about Bert, but he’s a cat, so maybe there are exceptions for him.)
–Wags (and purrs) from Life with Dogs and Cats.
Bert is going to have some trouble with Santa I think…Bailie may slide by.
Very nice letters. I’m going to add cat repellent to my list, too!
I hope I get like an entire pallet of the stuff…I need it!
Yes we hope Santa makes all your wishes come true on the big day. Have a marvellous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
We have our paws crossed.
Hope you get everything on your lists, especially Katie. ๐
Chances are pretty good. Not sure about Bailie with her naughtiness, but she may slide by because she is young.
looks like you are all prepared for Christmas – hopefully there is no postal strikes ๐
Oh no! That would really put a damper on the Christmas festivities!
I don’t know how Santa could resist such heart felt letters. And I’m sure he will overlook Bailie’s minor transgressions.
We figure there is a good chance he will let things slide since she is young and isn’t spiteful, just goofing around. Bert on the other paw…lots of coal in his future!
I am sure you, And your sisters will get everything you want this year. What are you getting Mommy?
I’m hoping to get her a wabbit. She always cries when I bring her one, I’m sure they are tears of happiness, but if that doesn’t work out, just lots of snuggles I think.
Wonderful post!!! We are probably in the same category as Bert. After all, HH wrote a book about us and the title is Double Trouble…. That says it all, right? Well, on your suggestion, we are gonna try writing a letter to Santa anyway…
Have a great day..
hugs, Bugsy and Knuckles
Oh dear, Bert’s category is not real good. I would write anyway and spice up the letter with your best points. I bet Santa will have something for you!
wow looks like you already got the cash!
I’m hoping to give it away as one of Santa’s elves!
Good job Bert. We have no doubt Santy will be stopping by your house
Lily & Edward
There is a reason Bert doesn’t even have a stocking…he knows coal is on the way for him!
Did someone say “cash?” We’re all ears for that one. Emma, did you put those antlers on Bert? Inquiring minds want to know….
I have no idea how the antlers got on that troublesome cat of mine! Stay tuned on Thursday when I should have more details from North Pole Intel!
Great letters!! Good luck to Bailie… Santa is going to have to give her requests a lot of thought!! Here’s a funny thing: my little sister Lilly has the same collar as Bailie!! Naughty Nice. Because she can be both. Have a great day Emma!! your doodle friend Dash
That is Bailie exactly. We love her collar and it looks good on her too! I bet yours looks cute on you!
Give me a sign, Bailie, when the deers in training are back… they could bring my wishlist directly to Santa, right? I hope Santa has noted all your wishes on his shopping list. cat repellant? that’s unusual but I like the idea behind lol and I hope cat repellant has no influence on reindeers :o) I also hope that Katie’s wish comes true and I hope Santa’s bag is big enough for some mice and a cat bed for Bert :o)
Sadly, Bert has many cat beds but chooses to stink up and hog mine…grrr… I think cat repellent only works on cats and I sure hope it works well!
Great letters, I’m sure you will all get what you need.
Hopefully we will get a few nice gifts that we asked for.
I don’t think a banana incident or two will keep Bailie off the nice list – doesn’t hurt that she’s cute either!
She can really turn on the charm and fool people when she puts her mind to it! Hopefully she will get some things on her list at least.
I don’t think Bailie has been so naughty that she needs to worry about Santa. There are much naughtier people and doggies than she. I hope Katie gets her wish, and I’m sure Santa will bring her something even without a letter. Beautiful photos!
Thank you. Bailie has been quiet naughty, but I have heard about worse dogs, so we have some hope. Cat bro Bert, on the other paw can expect coal for sure.
I think Santa will take good care of all of you!
We are hoping, paws crossed.
Dear Emma, Please do not tell Santa how naughty I have been, I do wish he could make my brother by another mother, Panda, well. He went to the doctor this morning and the got some cells from his growth to be sent off to the lab. The very nice doctor said some of the cells looked abnormal. You all and even Bert are beautiful. XOXO Sparkle the PBGV
We all have our paws crossed for little Panda! We don’t need to report bad dogs because we aren’t tattle tails at our house. I’m sure you will be like Bailie and squeeze by with your cuteness!
BOL, I love Bailie’s letter! Wouldn’t it be great is Kongs came in different colors, oh, the possibilities!
I do think they have red and black, but not really sure. Fun colors would be great!
Nice Santa correspondence skills! Yay GBGV’s gonna make it rain! *wags*
Thank you…maybe raining some cash??? Stay tuned.
Will do! Weens loves him some cold hard ca$h, heehee!
Nothing better to shred, um I mean spend, than cold hard cash!
Emma, you are so sweet to help baby Bailey! You all deserve efuurything on your lists! Woooooowoooooooooooo!
Sometimes I have to help her out, sometimes we play together, and sometimes I try to beat on her. It isn’t easy living with a teenager!
Adorable photos! A pink Kong, Emma? Barking good idea. Rosie loves hers ๐
I don’t know if they even make them, but it would be nice…or at least red. Black is not as fun looking.
Wow, those headbands are so darn cute I was having trouble concentrating on your letters! BOL Oh, you all look adorable. Anyway, great letters and I’m sure Santa Paws will fill his pack with your wishes.
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, Police Commish
Hey, big guy! What about the cute girls under those silly head pieces ๐ Glad you enjoyed the post!
That was such a sweet letter, Emma, I am sure you will get everything you asked for from Santa. I also think that he will cut Bailie some slack this time since she’s still so young. Katie is such a good big sister to guard those letters for you and to ask for nothing but health. We are sure she will get something special as well!
Hmmm….we wonder about this cash giveaway, and can’t wait to find out more! No one ever has enough of that stuff! ๐
You humans and that green paper! I don’t get the attraction, but it makes humans as nuts as cats with catnip!
Your Letters to Santa Paws are BRILLIANT as Snow on a sunny day… Esp. the REPELLENT Idea… do you suppose they have it in Snow Freak and or Squirrel Flavors?
I don’t know, but I want to catch those squirrels myself. Snowmen tend to disappear if you pee on them too ๐
I think Rita might just copy your list, Emma. She needs cat repellant too for the neighbor’s cat that has the nerve to come in our yard! And she loves anything from Jones! We hope Katie gets her wish and that you and Bailie do too! I’m sure Santa will overlook Bailie’s… transgressions.
Those cat can be almost as nasty as squirrels! I think the three of us will do okay if Bailie really tries hard the next couple weeks.
I hope you girls get everything you asked for! Even though Katie didn’t ask for anything, I’m sure Santa will throw something special in for her ๐
She is such a good dog all the time, I’m sure she will get something special!
These are probably the bestest Santa letters we have read so far!!! We hope you all (Bailie especially) get everything you ask for!!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty and Bilbo
Thank you! Sure hope Santa feels the same way!
Your letters are so cute! Great job! I hope you both get everything on your list! <3
I think we will do alright, even Bailie, since she is asking for some leniency because of her age.
You definitely deserve EveRYTHING on your list. Tell Bailie not to worry, Santa understands kiddos the best. Katie is such a sweetie that I’m sure she will get some extra special goodies. Be sure to have your mom enter to win my giveaway! I will be sure she is back for the green stuff giveaway! We love green too! XXOO Bentley
I entered your giveaway…hoping to win, but I know it isn’t “fixable” so I have to take my chances like every other dog!
Luv your Christmas collar! I just got one today!
Thank you. We love being festive. I bet yours is real cute too!
Cold hard cash always comes in handy!!!
i think your Santa letters are just pawfect!!!!
แฆ husky hugz แฆ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Thanks…see you back on Thursday ๐
Oh what a good tease Emma! And, if you get any of that cat repellant could I borrow some? Not that I’m against sharing or anything but this morning I woke up with another dog and a CAT in MY bed! Love Dolly
Sounds like a wild party kind of nightmare to me! I’m hoping Santa has cat repellent, I can’t find any here in the stores. I just want my bed to be my place only, but it isn’t happening with cat bro Bert!
What great letters girls, I hope you get everything you asked for and Bert you crack me up!!!
Bert can be funny, but he is a real problem cat!
Your letter was the best. Kong chews are the best. I love them in size small. You are so cute. I could never ask for a better friend.
The Kong I tried was for a giant dog. I bet it was the size that you are! I need something a bit smaller, although the big ones have more space for filling!
I hope Santa brings each of you everything you asked for.
Thanks, Clowie, we have our paws crossed.
Aww… I so love the girls in their Christmas hats!! And the letters were awesome!
Thank you. We love to wear fun stuff on our heads.
I hope you and Bailie get the gifts you asked for. You deserve it! Something tells me Santa is going to treat you really well! ๐ Even Bert!
Bert should be happy he has a home, such a bad cat! The rest of us have our paws crossed.
I thought santa magic things up or has this own Xmas present factory in the north pole!! I think you get it quicker if you just as Flea for jones chews ๐ Heehee…
You might have a good point there!
