🧝‍♂️Legalos had a great weekend of rest and recovery!

💚This morning the doctor gave him the clear to leave his hospital bed. Soon after, he hurt his knee! It was a minor wound and Maya was able to do Laser Therapy on him the help with healing and keeping down the inflammation! He loved wearing the laser safety googles and thought he looked very fashion forward! This silly elf sure knows how to keep us on our toes!

🧝‍♀️Dr. Austin was able to perform Legalos' surgery to get the mystery item out of his belly. She wore magic, medical gloves sent to us from Santa so she could safely touch him and not ruin is magic (see the pretty green glitter).

🪙Did any of you guess the item? It was a penny! Silly guy, we still are unsure what made him want to swallow a penny! He did great and is recovering comfortably. We even made him Christmas ornaments as get well gifts! After a few days of rest and recovery he will be back to his mischievous ways! Stay tuned!

🧝‍♂️Uh oh… looks like Legalos got himself into a tinsel-strophe!

🩻We noticed he wasn’t acting as jolly and seemed to show signs of tummy troubles. Turns out our mischievous little elf went a swallowed something he definitely shouldn’t have. He had an x-ray (safely), we made sure no one touched him or ruined his magic, and here’s what we saw!

👀Can you guess what he swallowed?

🫧Join Sven at his Spa Day!

🐾Sven enjoyed a spa day today with Lin! First step was a relaxing bath to get him scrubbed up and all clean (check out his awesome bubble Mohawk). Then he got his hair dried, which made him all fluffy. Lastly, he got his hair cut and nails trimmed so he is ready for all the holiday festivities! He is so soft and velvety now!

📱Is your dog or cat in need of a good spa day? Let us help you get them holiday ready! Give us a call, 515-285-5523, for more information about our grooming services!
