Artemis’ big moment finally came—meeting the one and only Santa Claus!

She approached him cautiously at first, sniffing his boots like a seasoned detective. But before long, she was snuggled up in his lap, doling out puppy love. When Santa asked if she was on the naughty or nice list, we replied, “Is there an ‘I tried’ list?”

Then, with perfect timing, Artemis leaned in and planted a wet kiss on Santa’s cheek, trying to charm her way to becoming his new favorite helper. Whether her strategy worked, we’ll have to wait until Christmas morning to find out. Our fingers (and paws) are crossed!
