My Christmas Wish

Dear Santa,

I think I have been very good this year. At least I have tried to be. My family sometimes tells me I've done something wrong. I feel bad about that when it happens. My family is so great. I hope you have time to read their Christmas letters and bring them everything they want this year. They are so deserving! My parents work a lot and my brothers and sisters are very busy too. They try so hard at everything they do. They are probably the greatest people in the world.

Sometimes they complain about their hair, or their weight or they talk about things that they wish they could change about themselves. I honestly have no idea what they are talking about when they whisper these things to me! They are so beautiful to me! They are so perfect and they can't see it! Santa, if you have time, could you bring them the gift of seeing them through my eyes?

Sometimes I hear them talk about how they wish they had more time. I come home and they laugh and ask why I haven't done my chores during the day. Oh if they only knew I would do whatever they wanted of me. If I only knew what they meant. Sometimes when we go for walks, we don't always have time to stop and smell all the cool things and see all the beautiful things in the world around us. Santa, if you have time, could you bring them the gift of seeing the world through my eyes. Bring them happiness in the small moments it takes to stop and appreciate the things we have in the world around us?

Sometimes, Santa, sometimes I hear them complain about what other people are thinking about them or finding money to pay bills. Oh, Santa, if they only knew how cool they are and that we don't need anything else! There is nothing I would change about them. If I could spend every waking moment with them I would! I would never tire of their presence! Every word they say is interesting. Every game they play entices me to learn how to do it too! Here is my wish, Santa; If you have time, could you tell them that the only thing in this entire world I want more than anything that could be bought for me, is to spend some more time with them. Its the only thing I need in this world. Nothing, Santa, nothing would make me happier.

Thank you Santa,
The Smith's Furry Family Member

PS: I will leave dog biscuits out with the cookies and carrots as I know a fella as happy as you are must own a dog!

We at Stokesdale Veterinary Hospital wish all of those family members the world's blessings this Christmas season!
