Reuben's letter to Santa Paws

Dear Santa Paws,

dachshund writing a letter
This is a file photo, but my letter looks just like this.

This year I has been a Very Good Dog. I helped protect the house by barking at everything and everyone who camed near it - including and especially the suspicious character dressed in blue and carrying satchels who always is trying to steal my mails.

I only peed in the house a couple of times. For a dachshund, this is amazing.

Yes I ranned away on the farm a few times, and made additional thwarted attempts, but seriously Santa - what you would has done if there was not only monster chickens, but ALSO monster wild turkies to chase through the forests? So you see, these incidents was entirely unavoidable.

I only bited Daddy when it was absolutely necessary: in cases of him being a clear and present danger to my chewies, in which event, I has prior authorization to do a biting of him. I made half-hearted attempts to bite a few other people, so really, those no counts as biting incidents. Oh, I did bite Mama once, by accident - I was trying to bite Daddy. Sorries, Mama and Santa.

I no was brave towards Hatfield the orange kitty every single day. Here is evidence of that one day where I let him sleep next to me.

Exhibit A: me, not chasing Hatfield. And that's Red Humpy Bed I is sleeping on.

I has treated my Humpy Beds - both Blue and Red - with respect and equality. Due to this, both of thems has all of the stuffings coming out, and one time I ated the stuffings, and then I throwed them up, and Mama thoughted it was a hairball, and the vet was very confused by the whole thing, on account of me not being a catses. Therefore, this year for Christmasses I would like a new Humpy Bed. Of course I still loves Blue and Red, but Mama no wants me to eat any more stuffings, unless they is the kind that comes out of the turkies on Christmas eve.

I assume you will also be bringing the usual assortment of chewies and treats.

Thank you Santa for recognizing me as a Very Good Dog this year!


Merry Festivitals,

Reuben

  3. Dear Reuben,

    That is a very good letter to Santa, and I think you have been a Good Dog this year. You have certainly been a good blog-friend to me, always so supportive and full of wisdom.

    By the way, that photo of you and Hatfield together should definitely be submitted as evidence. Not only evidence of being Good, but also evidence of WHY you're so extra-Good.

    Because, while I knew you were a somewhat smaller dog (the perfect size, I know!), until I saw you next to your Cat I didn't realize quite what your exact size was. Of course, I'm sure Hatfield is a gigantic, enormous, over-size beast. But still - you are certainly extremely Good for putting up with such a huge feline!

    Licks,
    Cobi

    Pee Ess I hope you get a new Bed. Comfy Beds are the best!

  4. Reuben, you are positively a saint! There is no reason why Santa shouldn't bring you everything you want when you only weed in the house a couple of times and only bit Dad when it was necessary. Mum is killing herself laughing, so funny.

  9. Nows Reuben, I thinks there be a clause (no pun intended) in da Santa Clause thingamajig dat says dachshunds can do whatevers they want...or did I just amkes dat up. ANyways, we is allowed to do certain things withouts reprecussions. Besides, whats a little chasin' chickens and turkies anyways, I mean we was bred to do dat sort of thing.
