Dear Santa,
It’s me, Riley the Cattle Dog. I just wanted to tell you that I’ve been as good a girl as a crazy old Cattle Dog can be this year! I got my Therapy Dogs certification this year and visited people in the nursing home. I tried not to play too rough with old Chloe but sometimes I just get a little carried away. I tried to take care of the little animals in the backyard but my jaws may have been a bit much for them.
Santa, I’d like lots and lots of treats. I’d like lots of toys too. I’d also like lots of treats…oh wait, I already said that. Well, just make that double toys then I guess.
See, here’s a picture of me being good:
See…I’m leaving Chloe alone and am even smiling for the picture. I’m not spoiled like Chloe, either, because I don’t get to get under blankets and covers!
Thank you Santa Claus, I love you so much! I will give you a big kiss when you come here in a few nights!!
Love,
Riley
