Santa is getting ready for his great annual adventure, so let’s take a look and see if the dogs we all love are going to be getting stockings full of delicious dog treats or big black lumps of coal.
It’s time to check Santa’s Naughty and Nice Lists!
THEODORE
It looks like he’s making the Nice list by working hard to help his neighborhood set up a landing spot for Santa so all the boys and girls (and pups) get their presents on Christmas. Way to go Theodore!

Oh no! Did he just try to “help” mom decorate the house?
Naughty Theodore!
Christmas lights are supposed to go on the tree, not you!

CHARLIE & PENNY
Let’s see if they can make it onto the Nice List in time for Santa’s visit.
So far so good…siblings that are getting along and sharing a blanket has to send them straight to the Nice List.

Oh, but then that sibling rivalry came out!
Looks like Penny got jealous of Charlie hogging the new holiday dog bed and decided to take matters into her own hands. Come on guys, don’t you know to wait until after Christmas to get revenge on your sibling?
Looks like its the Naughty List for these two.

AXEL & COCO
Can Axel and Coco do a better job of staying on the Nice List? So far so good. These two doods are working on their wish list for Santa together. Great teamwork guys!

But wait! Did they just break the cardinal rule of Christmas presents and open them before the 25th?!
Dang, it looks like we have two more pups on the Naughty List.

OLLIE
Ollie is coming in strong by helping his mama get ready for their holiday party. Looks like he made a good pick with the holiday socks. Such a gentleman and a sure fire way to make the Nice List!

But wait, it looks like our Golden Boy couldn’t resist making a fashion statement and took the holiday socks for himself. Come on Ollie, sharing is caring.
MABEL
These next pups have to make it on the Nice List because there’s nothing sweeter than a set of puppies, right?!
Mabel was given the OK to open one Christmas present early and found her newest sister and brother waiting inside. How sweet is that!?

Uh, oh. Mabel doesn’t look too happy about the puppy surprise.
I guess she just wanted a Christmas alone with her mama. Sorry, Mabel, it’s the Naughty List for you for trying to return your new puppies.

SCHMITT
Schmitt decided to use a new tactic to get onto the Nice List. His goal is to become buddy-buddy with the Big Guy himself. Let’s see how Schmitt does becoming an honorary Santa’s Helper!

Looks like someone found the eggnog and gingerbread men…nice try, Schmitt, but stuffing yourself instead of building toys will only lead to the Naughty List.

ZELDA
Maybe if we add a feline friend into the mix we’ll have better luck at getting a pup on the Nice List.
Zelda is working hard baking yummy cookies for Santa to have when he stops for a visit while her new kitten brother, Otto, waits on standby to lick the whisk.

It’s a little early to be baking Santa’s cookies; he’s not even coming for another few weeks. Do you think Zelda and Otto are going to be able to resist the urge to nibble on Santa’s treats for that long?
Oh, that was a hard one. I can’t really blame them for doing a taste test, but I think Santa’s hungry belly might…Naughty List it is…

Well folks, it doesn’t look like dogs are fairing too well in this year’s Naughty vs. Nice List preview…I wonder if any of these furry friends will get their Christmas wishes this year?
Oh, who are we kidding? How could Santa resist the power of puppy dog eyes?
Bring on the treats!

What presents will you be getting for your furry friends? Tell us in the comments! And don’t worry, we’ll keep it a secret!
