Oh Ranger,
 
It is so good to hear from you again.  I was beginning to think you had
forgotten about me.  Worse yet, you might take that "Dippy Doodlebug"
girl, in far off, Tennessee, serious.
 
I was Heartbroken, when I learned, that Santa wouldn't cooperate and
bring you here, to be with me on Christmas.  Mom said there must have
been a good reason, but I was so upset, I had to run Tommy out of our
room and not let him play, in our rice bucket.  (He is such a silly &
pesky kitty.)
 
My stocking was hung on the wall, with care, just the right size for you
& me.  I can image, you popping out of my stocking, all Handsome & Alpha
Acting, on Christmas Morning.  You'd be so light on your paws, while
doing a Special War Dance for me.  OH WOW!!!  The Thoughts........The
images...........Where's my treats???  My Dreams come true.  Who needs
music!  When Love is in the air.
 
I worry about you hitch hiking here, it is too far.  Someone, with a
pretty Jill, might pick you up and you'd never make it here.  Worse of
all, I'd never hear from you again.  I just couldn't bare it.  Even if
Fate & Santa say no, we can meet in our Dreams.  Each & everyone of them.
Life hasn't been the same for me, since your first letter.
 
My heart is beating so loud and It only has room for You.  I'm off to
take a nap......wink, wink.  See you there Big Boy!

Ranger Here,
 
Santa will not cooperate with me.  I tried everything I knew to get him
to take me to you via his sleigh and he refused.  I am angry and sad that
I cannot be with you, my dearest Ruby Jean, for Christmas.  I wanted to
pop out of your stocking and do a special war dance for your eyes only
but alas, fate will not have it.  So I am planning on hitch hiking there.
I must be with you my darling.  Life has not been the same since I met
you.  You have my tail all in a fizzle.
 
Ranger
