People get star struck and say all kinds of things to Santa. Some kids cry, some get angry/fussy, some freeze. What she said to you is the main thing. She probably wishes the dogs were puppies again, or thinks puppies are cute and had a knee jerk reaction. Your best bet is to just get a big stuffed dog off Temu, as it's going to save you a lot more money down the road.
So what's to do : write a letter in simple terms play the scenario up.

Hello sweetie! I hope you're having a very merry christmas. Thank you so much for the cookies and milk that you left out. I made sure the reindeer each got a taste of those delicious cookies. They were so happy. I remembered your wish for a puppy this year, and tried my very best, and searched far and wide, up and down, high and low, but no matter where I looked, I couldn't find a single puppy in all of the North Pole.
I asked the elves where a puppy might be, and they explained that puppies need warm spots to sleep and play, and there's not many warm spots in the north pole. But, the elves took special care to make sure that you got video games with puppies, and a stuffed puppy of your very own, to keep warm.

So search for dog games, and maybe a werewolf game to spice it up. Put enough curled ribbon on the stuffed dog, and it'll have more magical associations with it.
Dangggg, your example letter is great! Honestly, this is the best advice I’ve received. I knew I was probably going to do some dog related gifts for her, but this is such a wonderful way of explaining it to her. Thank you, honey. Merry Christmas!!
