Meet Storm the North Pole Pup!

This morning started like any other, hot cocoa, toast with cinnamon snowflakes, and a quick chat with the reindeer about sleigh maintenance.

But then… Mrs Claus told me to close my eyes.

“Why?” I asked.“Because I have a surprise,” she said with a big grin.I love surprises.

Covering my eyes waiting for the surprise!

When I opened my eyes, there he was. A fluffy little schnauzer with wiry eyebrows, a bouncy beard, and a tail that wagged like a candy cane in a snowstorm.

“This is Storm,” Mrs Claus said. “He needed a new home… and I thought maybe he could have the very best one.”

Storm barked once, then ran full speed into the kitchen and knocked over Jingles’ tower of jellybeans. Absolute chaos. Absolute perfection.

Storm our new dog

We gave him a shiny red collar and a fluffy bed near the fireplace, but he prefers sleeping on my boot. The reindeer aren’t sure what to make of him yet but Blitzen let him lick his nose, which is a very good sign.

And you know what? Sometimes the best surprises have fur, muddy paws, and silly snorts. And sometimes love shows up when you’re not looking, nose first, tail wiggling, and ready to be yours.

If you ever get the chance to show kindness to someone (or somepup) who needs it… take it. The love you give always finds its way back.

Love Santa x 🎅
