Matilda, 3, and Abby, 5

My name is Matilda, but sometimes my family calls me “NoNo!” My favorite thing is playing with my big sister, Abby, until she gets tired of me and hides under the table. December is our favorite time of year for two reasons: 1) cooler weather and 2) presents! We already sent our letter to Santa Paws. New toys were first on our list because, for some reason, our old toys no longer have stuffing. Our behavior this year has been good (or at least slightly improved over last year), so we hope to get at least a few goodies in our bone-shaped stockings. Is there another option somewhere between naughty and nice? We want to wish all our dog friends around the neighborhood Happy Howlidays, and we look forward to sniffing you all in the New Year!
