Dear Diary,
Mom has put up Christmas!! We have our Tiny Tree and Some Lights outside. (I am Not Supposed to Chew on Any wires.)
This year I counted 6 little Scottie ornaments and Only 1 Arya Ornament. Mom said it’s because I am a “One Of A Kind Dog” and to say “Please Don’t Send Arya Ornaments Because Our Tree Is Very Small!”
Mom and I keep each other warm at night. That used to be Jack’s Job. Mom says I am “One Hot Dog.” Last night we watched a TV show til we both fell asleep.
Until Next Time. Love,
Arya
Jack the Scottie 
Arya, it is really wonderful that you are taking such good care of your Mom. She really needs all the love and comfort you are providing her, especially at this time of the year. I am sure you miss Jack as much as she does, and we are all praying that you both can overcome your grief soon. Keep up the great work, Arya, you are the best!
Dear Arya,
This is a sweet view into your and Mom’s life. The Scottie ornaments help you both remember Jack. Of course you remember Jack without a Christmas tree. You have come a long way and are a great Canine Companion now. Keep snuggling! The Arya ornament is beautiful — like you.
Love,
Deborah the Diary Reader and Friend
