Oh Dog! I’m sure lots of adults around the world are very busy today, because this is the next-to-last weekend before Christmas! Lots of shopping, lots of baking, lots of making merry to get done! woo woo woo!
Today we have two letters from some very cool big dogs! Let’s see what they’re asking Santa for this year. First up is Dexter and Jack from Dexter’s Days.

Aren’t those two adorable? I’m sure Santa will make you both very happy on Christmas morning guys!
Next up is my friend Clowie from Clowie’s Corner:
Dear Santa,
Thank you very much for the chews that you left under the Christmas tree for me last year. I’m sending you a picture of me relaxing with one of them, to show you just how much I appreciated them.
I have a slightly different request to make this year. I have heard that you will be giving lots of people the movie “Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups”. I can see that the stars of this film are incredibly cute, they are mini versions of me!
I am worried that everyone will want a puppy and I know we’re not the right breed of dog for everyone. I would like you to include some information about Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, or Great Pyrenees, with each copy of the film you deliver. We need our bipeds to ensure that we get lots and lots of socialisation and training when we’re puppies. Most of us, as puppies, can cause chaos faster than you can say, “Ho, ho, ho! Merry Christmas!”
If your elves need any help preparing a leaflet to go with the film, I would be pleased to assist them. They could also read this information about the sort of bipeds we need: Are These Big Dogs Right For You?
I will put out some hay and a few buckets of water for your reindeer. I hope you have time to let them take a rest at our house – they work so hard for you on Christmas Eve.
I won’t be leaving anything out for you this year – I caught my bipeds eating the mince pie and drinking the brandy last year. They explained that you can’t possibly eat and drink everything that is put out for you. But they also said that you are welcome to help yourself, if you would like something to eat or drink.
Lots of love,
Clowie
P.S. The male biped says that when you landed the sleigh on the roof last year, you knocked a couple of roof tiles loose. Please could you be more careful this year?

Excellent Clowie! I hope Santa does just that!

Today is a bittersweet day. On the one hand I am so excited that Santa is coming soon! On the other, I am so sad because many people in Connecticut are grieving today. Santa cannot bring them anything to make them feel better. For those families I send my prayers and all the comforting energy I can muster.
