Dear Santa Paws: Christmas Letters from Three Jack Russell Puppies

Letter #1: Biscuit, Age 6 Months – “Santa, I Can Explain…”

Dear Santa Paws,

First off, I’d like to clarify a few things before you check your list.

Yes, I did chew the elf hat. But in my defense, it attacked first. And yes, I might have unwrapped one (okay, three) presents early, but I was helping! How was I supposed to know wrapping paper isn’t edible?

I’ve been mostly good, except for that one time I stole the roast chicken. And the other time. And... never mind.

For Christmas, please bring:

• A toy that squeaks louder than the vacuum (so I can win).

• A bottomless jar of peanut butter.

• A new couch for the humans — since I may have improved the old one.

P.S. Tell Rudolph I’m sorry for barking at his nose. It was suspiciously blinky.

Love,
Biscuit (a good boy in progress)

Letter #2: Pippa, Age 1 Year – “Fashion, Festivities, and Fury”

Dearest Santa,

It’s me, Pippa — the stylish one. I’ve been very good this year, except for when the humans made me wear that ridiculous reindeer headband. I’m a dog, Santa, not a festive moose.

Please send:

• A sparkly collar that says “Queen of Christmas.”

• A fireplace all to myself.

• An elf assistant to carry my chew toys.

Also, could you make sure my brother Biscuit stops chasing my tail? I’ve told him repeatedly that it’s attached.

In exchange, I promise not to bark at the delivery man for at least... two whole hours. (Maybe.)

With festive flair,
Pippa, Duchess of the Dog Bed

Letter #3: Milo, Age 8 Months – “Mission: Santa”

Hey Santa Bro,

Milo here. I’ve been training all year for this moment. I’ve dug 47 holes, climbed 12 fences, and successfully infiltrated the kitchen three times undetected. I’m basically a Christmas commando.

Here’s the plan: I’ll leave you cookies (okay, crumbs — Biscuit found them first), and you leave me:

• A ball launcher that never runs out.

• A treat dispenser that obeys voice commands (“TREAT NOW!”).

• One of those flying reindeer. I promise I’ll take care of it.

Also, if you could stop Mum from dressing me in that elf costume again, I’d consider it an early Christmas miracle.

Yours in festive chaos,
Milo the Mighty (Destroyer of Slippers)

A Note from Their Human…

Dear Santa,

If you’re reading this… just bring wine.

Love,
Exhausted Dog Mum

Final Woofs: Naughty or Nice?

Whether they’re chasing ornaments, stealing snacks, or demanding reindeer of their own, these Jack Russells remind us what Christmas is really about — love, laughter, and maybe a little bit of mischief.

So here’s to a paw-some Christmas season filled with wagging tails, warm cuddles, and plenty of treats (for dogs andhumans).

Merry Christmas from Biscuit, Pippa, and Milo! 🐾
