Kim Kardashian gave fans a peek at her children’s post-Christmas joy, sharing Instagram Stories of the four siblings playing with their new Pomeranian puppies while controversy swirls around the lavish presents.
Puppies in the Playroom
On January 4, the 45-year-old mogul uploaded footage of Chicago, 7, kissing a sable-furred pup and Psalm, 6, crawling alongside a dark-haired dog as they chased it across the living-room floor. A child’s voice can be heard exclaiming, “Mommy, look, it licks me!”
The final clip shows Kardashian holding two dark-haired puppies while Chicago cradles the sable one. “Hi guys,” Kardashian laughs, panning to her daughter.
The Christmas Reveal
Kardashian announced the December 25 surprise on Instagram, posting a photo of the quartet of dogs:
- Two with dark coats
- One cream-colored
- One sable-furred
“Each kid got a puppy,” she wrote, confirming North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago and Psalm all received a pet.
PETA’s Reaction
Ingrid Newkirk, founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, issued a statement December 28:
> “Puppies are not plushies, and it’s a damn shame that Kim missed the chance to be a spokesperson for shelter pups and instead is being rightly slammed on social media for that.”
Newkirk suggested the family volunteer at a local shelter or attend an adopt-a-thon. Kardashian’s rep did not respond to a request for comment.
More Sparkle Under the Tree
North also scored three custom diamond pieces from Alex Moss New York:
- Spike necklace with a cartoon skull pendant
- “North” engraved on the reverse
- 106 carats total
The tween showcased her new jewelry in TikTok videos, pairing the statement piece with a blue camo jacket and bright blue wig.
Key Takeaways
- Kardashian’s four children each received a Pomeranian puppy for Christmas
- PETA criticized the decision, urging adoption over breeder purchases
- North’s additional gift included high-carat diamond jewelry
- Kardashian has not publicly responded to the animal-rights group’s comments
The festive footage underscores the family’s lavish holiday while reigniting conversations about celebrity pet culture.
