How are you and Mrs. Claus doing this year? We hope the smell of Mrs. Claus’s treats and cookies, and the sounds of the elves whistling Christmas carols as they ready all the toys is echoing throughout the North Pole. Grandma and the volunteers are always telling us what good dogs we are and every year you find lots of toys and treats in your bag for homeless dogs like us. We are very grateful, Santa. Many of the dogs who come to live with us have never had such delicious treats or wonderful toys to play with while waiting for our forever homes. It’s fun to see their surprise on Christmas morning and which toys become their favorites. And you always choose appropriate toys for us, the right size and strong enough to hold up to our strong chews. That makes Grandma very happy because toys are cheaper than surgery for a blockage!
Grandma says, it is not polite to beg or be greedy. We have heard volunteers talking about sending money or gift cards to their grandchildren because they are not sure what to buy them and we have learned to shop on the internet, so if it’s easier …we love to shop on the internet!! Thank you very much, Santa, for reading our letter again this year. We sure hope you can bring us each a treat for Christmas. Of course, two would be great, but one each for all the adoptable and sanctuary dogs at HHGDR would be wonderful! We promise to have Grandma and the volunteers scoop our play yard, so you won’t get your shoes dirty when you step out of your sleigh. We wish you, Mrs. Claus, and all the elves a very Happy Holiday! Hugs, Slobbers, and love from all the VERY GOOD dogs at HHGDR (Please see page 2 for TREAT lists!)
You brought us so much last year that we think there are other homeless dogs who could use our share of toys instead of us this year. But we would love an extra treat or two during the day. Treats are also good for training and rewards after grooming. We know you have a generous heart, Santa, so our paws are crossed, and we are hoping that we will find some of the items on our Christmas wish lists. Remember, Santa, your elves don’t have to wrap anything. It’s better for the planet! Santa, as you know we are orphans, and realistic enough to know that some of us may never find our forever home. We are always thankful for anything you bring us. As
WALKER is a handsome young man looking for his forever home! https://hhdane.com/danes/walker.htm
