My kind Santa Claus,
How generous you have been to us animals this holiday season.  I have much to be thankful for, especially the new love of my life, Chouette.  That means “owl” in French, and not only is she as fashionable as a Parisian lady, she does look just a tiny bit like an owl.  It is very important to have someone sweet to cuddle up next to, especially on these cold, cold nights.

I almost died a few winters ago, because I was out in the woods, in the cold, with my first mate.  She did not make it.  The weather was too much for her.  Everyone wept.  But the people who saved me nursed me back to health and then I landed here!

Dear, kind Santa.  May I ask for a few trifles as gifts this year?  Mostly I want to be able to present them to Chouette.  A gentleman like me always likes to please his lady friend.

First, worms.  I know, you probably don’t care for them much yourself, but we really do enjoy these bugs. https://www.chewy.com/kaytee-dried-mealworms-wild-bird/dp/202617

Now, the rabbits just adore the dry salads they get from Rosewood, and so we would very much like to try the treats they make for chickens!  All natural, too, how delicious and delightful. You might even find them tasty, yourself!  https://www.chewy.com/naturals-by-rosewood-hennys-power/dp/374428

For a long time we have been asking for a swing.  Yes, we do get to run around the farm during the day, and I particularly like climbing trees.  But sometimes, in the evening, when the moon is up above and the crickets are chirping, and love is in the air, a man just wants to sit with his lady on a swing and enjoy the breeze.  Sigh. https://tinyurl.com/swing-for-duke

Santa, please do send me a sponsor.  Chouette does not have her own page yet, but if you sponsor me, I’ll share it with her.  You see, she is camera-shy and so her photos so far are too fuzzy.  But we will make a call to our photographer to make sure that she, too, has her own special sponsors! https://shop.stargazingfarm.org/product/duke/

Esteemed Santa Claus, I do wish you safe travels as you zoom around the world.  Please be careful in Australia – those water skis go awfully fast, and I know that is how you usually arrive down under.

Your dearest and most appreciative friend,

Duke
