Dear Santa,
I have been a good dog.
For the most part.
I hope I made the Nice Dog list!!!!
There is still that issue with my scarfing down cat food every chance I get.
And I do like the occasional rummage through the trash.
Oh, and there is that time I left skid marks on Jen’s freshly-laundered bedding.
Hardly worth mentioning, I know, but I am choosing transparency in all my dealings… that Jen knows about.
June Buggie says I made your Naughty list this year, but I’m pretty sure I should be on the Nice one. And since I am a positive thinker, I’ll assume I’m right.
What does a dog like me want for Christmas?

See? I play well with others. Nice!!!!
I want to move. I know, we move too much already, but at this house we don’t have a fenced yard, and baby I was born to run! So could you please make it so Number 1?
I want my own room with a door the cats can’t access. Sometimes I need a break from them, ya know?
I want a brother or sister. I’m tired of being the only dog, but Jen says no more animals. But if you left a dog under the tree, how could she say no? If you do go that route, better bring a tree too, cuz we don’t have one.
I want a dinosaur! That would be the coolest pet ever! And I bet that creepy neighbor wouldn’t be watching Jen when she was outside walking him.
I want a new vehicle to ride in. The Jenmobile rides too rough for my delicate derriere.
I need a new tablet so I can keep up on social media when Jen has her phone at work. I would use her laptop but I don’t know the password.
Oh yeah, the most important thing: I need a refill on my cookie stash!!! Do you make cat food flavored cookies?
Thank you for your time, Big Guy, and I hope to see you this weekend!
Much love,
Rumpydog
While visions of sugar plums…

I hope Father Christmas brings all of your wishes, Rumpy
Posted by Jill Spain | December 20, 2016, 4:03 AMThank you! I hope all of your wishes come true too!
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 4:06 AMI really don’t see a problem with scarfing down unattended cat food. It also pays to check the trash - the bipeds have been known to chuck treasures in there!
I’m sure you’re on the nice list, Rumpy.
Posted by Clowie | December 20, 2016, 4:14 AMI sure hope so Clowie!!!! Happy Christmas!
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 4:29 AMI hope Santa brings you a new crib with a fab fenced garden… and the dinosaur… will it be a cookie saurus?

Posted by livelaughbarkblog | December 20, 2016, 6:55 AMI hope so, but June Buggie says otherwise. Though, honestly, who can trust a cat?

Posted by The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap | December 20, 2016, 8:09 AMThank you! I figure if Santa can find Natalie Wood’s house in Miracle on 34th Street, he can find mine!!!!

Posted by Nylabluesmum | December 22, 2016, 10:21 AMDear Rumpy, your wish list is nice, and I hope you will get all you have wished, because you are a good dog. If do something what every dog does, eating cats food, it is only a dog thing, nothing bad.
We wish you and your family Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Kosmo and his family
in faraway Finland.

Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 11:03 AMMerry Christmas Rumpy! I hope Santa brings you everything you asked for, especially the brother or sister. 🙂
Posted by Laurie Bartolo | December 20, 2016, 10:23 AMOoh!!!! That would be nice! But I think I’ll have better luck with the dinosaur 😕
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 11:04 AMOh a dog friend! It could be your pet! Cool! and a yard to run in. And cat food flavored cookies. All good.
Posted by Kate Crimmins | December 20, 2016, 10:59 AMAnd a dinosaur! If we had a fenced yard he could live there… as long as he had his own dinosaur house with heat and air conditioning,.. and plumbing… and furniture to climb on…
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 11:15 AMOk! A dinosaur too! Hope you can afford to feed him! (Hope he doesn’t eat cat food too!)
Posted by Kate Crimmins | December 20, 2016, 11:48 AMHe can eat dog food then Jen will feel sad and let me eat the cat food!
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 3:09 PMWe hope you get some of those wishes!

Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 11:10 AMAw, Rumpy, Santa couldn’t resist that sweet face, could he? We hope you get everything you are wishing for! Oh, and if you do get some cat food flavored cookies, please let our K9 crew know…it’s high on their list as well.
Posted by Jan K | December 20, 2016, 2:01 PMMaybe I should invent them! Hmmmm…..
Posted by rumpydog | December 20, 2016, 2:37 PMAll dogs are good dogs.
