#FurkidFriday: Lilie The #Westie And Logan The #Cavapoo Write To #SantaPaws - The #Dogs' 2019 #Christmas Letters + #Photos

Hi everyone. This is Lilie the Westie.

Mummy says it's almost Santa Paws time. Humans are better about knowing when it's time for things like that than dogs are, so we're taking her word for it, and hoping he really is coming soon. I'm also hoping I have better luck seeing him this year... I love visitors, and don't understand why I don't see him when he visits. Maybe my little brother, Logan, can help me watch for him this year? Maybe we'll have better luck with two of us keeping watch? I know Logan will hear him if he makes any noise at all. Those ears of his don't miss a thing.

Anyway, we wrote letters to Santa Paws, so I thought I'd share them with you. Mine already got shared as part of "Ani's Advent" near the start of last week, but I'm sharing it here too, in case you missed seeing it when my friend, Ani, posted it on hers and her human's blog here
. I hope you enjoy reading our letters. I'll share mine first, since I'm older. Plus, Santa Paws might need to take a look at mine before he reads Logan's.

Before I share our letters though, here are some photos they took of us. Logan wore a hat and some antlers to please Mummy - despite my attempts at removing the stupid things from his head - but I wasn't having a repeat of that hat business from Halloween. It was bad enough Logan was willing to let them do that to him. I was happy to model a couple of different Christmasy bandannas though... I like those. Anyway, here are our photos:


Lots of licks,
Lilie

Dear Santa Paws,

I didn't get to see you again last year, though I loved the toys and treats you left for me, so thanks for those. Like I always tell everyone, I really love friends and visitors, so why won't you wake me up to say, "Hello," when you come bring our toys and treats? I'd really love to meet you. I'll do my best happy wiggle dance and everything.

Anyway, I've been a very good girl again. But I don't need to tell you that. Mummy says you know if I've been good or not, so you'll know how good I've been. I mean, sure, I've gotten pretty cranky with my little brother sometimes. But really, Santa Paws, you would if he was jumping on your head, chewing on your ear, and stealing your toys and treats too. Just saying!

So, since I've been such a good little Westie girl, I'm sure you won't mind bringing me some more toys and treats, right? So I want some more balls. Yes, I know I have lots of balls already, but you can never have too many balls. Also, I love those cuddly toys with squeakers in them, so a new one - or two - of those would be great. Oh, and I'd love if you could bring me some treats too, since they're another thing you can never have too much of in my opinion. I especially love rawhide chewies... Just so you know.

You should probably bring some stuff for my little brother, Logan, too. That way maybe he won't steal my stuff all the time. I know he keeps being a bad puppy, but he'll only take my stuff if you don't bring him something of his own. Besides, he does try not to be a bad puppy... Mostly... Even if he's not very good at managing it. But trying does count. Mummy says so.

Lots of licks,
Lilie

Dear Santa Paws,

I'm new to this whole Christmas thing, and don't really understand it. But I've figured out that you'll be coming for a visit soon, because Mummy keeps saying about it. I'm really happy about that, because visitors are the best! Well, actually, food is the best, but visitors are almost as good. Besides, my big sister, Lilie, says you bring us toys and treats if we've been good puppies, which means you're a visitor who'll be bringing food, and that's the most awesome thing ever, because it means food and visitors at the same time! What's not to love?

I really have been a good puppy. Well, mostly. I've tried anyhow. Lilie says you'll think I've been bad. She says you won't bring me stuff, because of how I jump on her and chew her ear and things. But I'm trying hard to remember not to do that, and Mummy says trying counts. I mean, I'm only a puppy! I know I grew lots, so I'm bigger in size than Lilie now, but being big on the outside doesn't make me all big and grown up inside. Plus, like I said, I really am trying hard to remember not to jump and chew on Lilie. Sometimes I even remember for several days in a row. That's good, right? That counts, right? Oh, Santa Paws, please say it does!

You will bring me something when you come visit, won't you, Santa Paws? I don't mind what kinds of toys and treats you bring me. But I hate when I get left out of things. It makes me feel sad, and makes my tail forget to wag. So, please, Santa Paws, bring me something when you visit. A cuddly toy with a squeaker in, some of those little balls that bounce lots so are good for chasing, some rawhide... Anything. Just so I don't have to feel sad and left out, and so I know Mummy's right, and trying does count. Because I do try, Santa Paws. I really do.

Lots of licks,
Logan
