The Naughty or Nice List: Is Your Doodle Naughty or Nice This Year?

It’s that time of year when Santa is checking his list—twice! But let’s face it, when it comes to doodle puppies, the line between “naughty” and “nice” gets a little… blurry. Sure, they might have turned your holiday decorations into a personal playground, but they’ve also brought endless laughter and love into your home.

So, here’s the big question: Where does your doodle land this year—on the Naughty List or the Nice List? Let’s dive into some classic doodle behaviors that might sway Santa’s decision and see if your furry friend can relate.

The Naughty List Antics
1.    The Christmas Tree Takeover
You spent hours perfecting the tree, only for your doodle to view it as the ultimate indoor jungle gym. Ornaments? Chew toys. Tinsel? Shiny spaghetti. And that beautifully wrapped tree skirt? Now a doggy bed.
Naughty List Offense: Redecorating the tree “doodle-style.”
Is your doodle guilty of this?
2.    The Great Cookie Heist
You carefully set out cookies for Santa, only to discover they mysteriously disappeared. Meanwhile, your doodle is sitting in the corner with crumbs on their nose and zero remorse.
Naughty List Offense: Stealing Santa’s snacks.
Does this sound familiar?
3.    Wrapping Paper Shredding Champion
You turn your back for one second, and suddenly your carefully wrapped presents are now confetti. But hey, they had fun, right?
Naughty List Offense: Turning your gifts into a festive explosion.
Was your doodle the culprit this year?

The Nice List Behaviors
1.    The Best Greeter Ever
Whether it’s the delivery driver, a holiday guest, or just you walking through the door, your doodle greets everyone like they’re the most important person in the world. Those tail wags and happy dances are pure holiday cheer.
Nice List Points: Spreading joy one tail wag at a time.
Does your doodle make everyone feel special?
2.    Snuggles by the Fire
After all the excitement, your doodle curls up next to you, warm and cozy by the fire (or the heater, let’s be real). They remind you that the best gift of all is unconditional love.
Nice List Points: Being the ultimate cuddle buddy.
Does your doodle have a PhD in snuggling?
3.    Their Puppy Eyes Get Them Off the Hook
Let’s be honest—those big, soulful eyes make it impossible to stay mad. Naughty or nice, they always manage to worm their way back into your good graces.
Nice List Points: Melting hearts with every glance.
Has your doodle mastered this art?
