A pup’s Christmas wish:
Dear Santa,
It is my very first Christmas with my new family and I have been a good pup all year long. I stopped leaving my toys around the house, chasing the neighbor’s cat and am completely house trained. With all these good deeds, I’m hoping for a special treat this year.
For my first Christmas, I would like to go on vacation. Where? Well, my people were reading the Sunday paper and I learned about this place in Michigan that is perfect for dogs like me. Santa, can you send my family and me to Grand Traverse Resort & Spa and their “Dog House-The Ultimate Dog Retreat?” It’s the coolest place ever! I’ll have a whole house to explore, other dogs and toys to play with, and best of all, no crates! I get filtered water too, so no drinking out of the toilet for me.
While my family stays at Grand Traverse, they can come by and see me whenever we want, since my place is open 24-hours. Oh, and don’t worry Santa, there are people there to feed me and play games with me.
I know this may be your first letter from a dog, so I have included the website for you to learn more about The Ultimate Dog Retreat and Grand Traverse Resort & Spa at www.grandtraverseresort.com
Thanks so much Santa, I’ll leave some of my treats out for you!
Sincerely,
Scottie

Dear Scottie,
I hope Santa answers your letter. That sounds like a really wonderful place. I’d love to meet you there. I am just a little older than you — this is my second Christmas, but I was still pretty small last year. It is nice that there are so many nice places for dogs like us to play. If you ever come to California, we could go to my dog park together. It is really fun!
Have a merry Christmas! Lots of licks for you!
Love,
Lucy
Hi guys,
It’s just me Pumkpin Bumpkin. You dogs get all the lucky breaks. I suppose cat people understand that we felines can stay home alone without tearing up the place.
I hope you get to go though so your neighbor’s cat can take a break from entertaining you.
Have a happy holiday and chase your tail for me!
Purr…purrrrrr, your arch nemesis,
Pumpkin Bumpkin
This is a touching story. Aren’t dogs great?
@Bryan, They really are. I’ve loved dogs ever since I saw Lassie on TV as a kid.
