Duke SANDY GEDDRY

Dear Santa,
My name is Duke. I’m eight years old and I’m homeless. I live in a shelter with lots of other cats and dogs.
Santa, what I really, really want is to live in a home with a family.
I can picture myself in my new home. I’ll have a mom and a dad. They will feed me and let me watch TV on the couch. I’ll have my own bowl on the floor with a place mat that has my name on it. I’ll have a brother or sister. They will play with me when they come home from school. At night I’ll sleep at the end of the bed.
I’ve been good all year and I hope this is not to much to ask for, Santa. I’ll be waiting for you on Christmas Eve when you will put me into your bag and deliver me to my new home.
Love, Duke
p.s. I hope you like cat treats. They don’t let me have cookies here.
