🌌☕ Pastries, Perseids & Pure Magic! 🥐🌠

This morning we traded alarm clocks for star clocks ⏰✨ and joined Severson Dells Nature Center for their stellar “Pastries & Perseids” meteor-watching party! Between the smell of fresh coffee ☕, the sparkle of shooting stars 🌠, and the buzz of excited stargazers, it was the perfect reminder that nature connects us in the most out-of-this-world ways. 💫

💡 A few Perseid meteor shower fun facts:
🚀 Caused by Earth cruising through the trail of Comet Swift-Tuttle — tiny space bits burn up in our atmosphere at 59 km/s, giving us those dazzling streaks.
🌟 At peak, you might spot up to 100 meteors per hour — that’s a shower worth standing under!
🌙 Even with the bright moon this year, the biggest, boldest meteors stole the spotlight.

Severson Dells is always finding ways to make us look up — both literally and figuratively — with events that spark curiosity, inspire wonder, and bring people closer to nature and wildlife. 🦉🌳 We’re over the moon about what they do for our community, and we can’t wait to join their next adventure.

🚪🐾 We had a very special visitor at the hospital today—Papa Barnstable himself! 👨‍⚕️👨‍🔧❤️

Today we had a door-saster on our hands… but thankfully, Dr. Barnstable’s dad stopped by to help us! 🔧🛠️🧰

Armed with tools, know-how, and some serious dad energy 💥🧡, he got right to work fixing our front door! 🚪✨ We’re so lucky to have family who is open to lending a hand—and a drill. 💪👨‍🔧🔩

Thanks for helping us keep it together, Papa Barnstable. Our door has never looked better—or opened smoother. 😉🧼🙌

☀️🐾 We’re soaking up the pawsitive vibes after an un-fur-gettable summer treat! 🐾☀️

Thanks to Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc. , we won their contest and got to kick back with a food truck party 🚚🍴 for our hospital team, family, and friends! 😎

Jakarta Cafe rolled in with flavor-packed goodness 🍔🍗🌮, and we all took a well-earned break to enjoy the sunshine 🌞, laughter 😂, and good company 🐶🐱.

Even our summer MVPs, Kal-El and Kiva 🐕🐕, joined the fun—bringing major hot dog energy 🌭 and making sure no snack hit the ground unnoticed. 😅🐾

We had a sun-sational ☀️ time spending the afternoon outside—just what the vet ordered. Big thanks to our team for always being cooler than a pup in a kiddie pool. 🐕‍🦺🧊

🎉🦎 Gender Reveal: Bearded Dragon Edition! 🦎🎉

Everyone, please put your claws together for the guest of honor at this week's big event…
🥁 drumroll 🥁

It’s a GIRL! 💖

After a quick exam from our exotic-savvy team, we delivered the news: SHE’s beardiful, bold, and officially a lady lizard! 👑✨

💡 Beardie Fun Facts to Celebrate the Queen:

🌍 They come from Australia! Specifically the arid deserts, which is why they love dry heat and basking spots. ☀️

🦴 UVB lighting is essential to help them process calcium and prevent metabolic bone disease — one of the most important parts of their care. 🐉

📏 They can grow up to 2 feet long, tail included! That tiny hatchling doesn’t stay tiny for long. 💗

We’re always excited to help with unique questions — even 🦎 reptile gender reveals! Whether you’ve got a 🐱 cat, a 🐹 ferret, or a 🐍 scaly sidekick like this 👑 queen, we’re here for all creatures great and small 🐾💚✨

🤠🐾 WANTED: One Handsome Outlaw 🐾🤠
This here’s Cowboy, known ‘round these parts as The Fluff With No Name.

Cowboy sauntered into Hononegah Animal Hospital with a tilt of his hat 🎩 and a look that said “I ain’t here for shots—I’m here for justice... and maybe some tuna🐟.”

Crimes:
Excessive cuteness 😼
Resisting snuggles 🛑💛
Fleeing the scene of a nail trim ✂️🚨
And loitering near the treat jar with intent to snack 🍖👀

Reward: One bag of treats (and unlimited head scratches, if you can catch him).

We’re always happy to see legendary desperados like Cowboy ride into town—even if they steal our hearts and then refuse to give ‘em back. 💛🐾

🔥🌿 BBQ, Barkin’ Dogs, and Biodiversity! 🌿🔥
We fired up the grill and the good times this weekend for the Hononegah Animal Hospital summer BBQ! 🍔🌭☀️ Marilyn’s pup, Bean, took his job as honorary paw-ty planner seriously—leading the outdoor games, supervising the grill (just in case something fell), and accepting belly rubs as payment. 🐾💚

This year we took the fun outdoors to Kinnikinnick Creek Nature Preserve, and we’re not just talking burgers and brats — we were grillin’ for a good cause! 😎 The shelter reservation fee went straight to Boone County Conservation District to help restore this beautiful space with native plants. 🌻🐝

Their amazing project (in partnership with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) is turning 17 acres into a pollinator paradise — removing invasive weeds and planting native shrubs, grasses, and flowers. That means a better home for birds, bees, butterflies, and even small mammals! 🦋🐦🐾

So while we were tossing hot dogs on the grill, the real top dogs were the hardworking folks making sure Kinnikinnick stays wild and wonderful for years to come. 🙌💪

Thanks to the BCCD for preserving this gorgeous piece of Illinois — we’re proud to be part of the effort (and proud of our grill skills, too 😏🔥).

🌭🔥 Don’t be a HOT DOG this summer! 🐾☀️

Quill’s serving up the sass in her summer shades 😎, but she’s also here to make sure your pup doesn’t get over-grilled this season! Let’s ketchup on some important safety tips so your fur-friend doesn’t end up in a real pickle. 🐶🥒

🌡️ No roasting in parked cars — it’s a fast track to becoming a frankfurter fiasco! Even a few minutes can turn your pup into a hot dog, and not the fun kind. 😬

👣 Protect those buns! Pavement can scorch paws faster than you can say “mustard.” Test it with your hand — if it’s too hot, skip the stroll. 🌞

💦 Relish the water! Keep bowls full and cool — dehydration is no joke when you're made of fur and fluff!

🌭 Avoid peak grilling hours. That mid-day sun is spicy. Stick to early morning or late evening for walkies and playtime!

🐾 Know your dog’s bun-ique needs. Brachycephalic breeds, seniors, and chonky pups overheat faster than you can load a hot dog with toppings!

🚨 Signs your dog’s overdone: excessive panting, drooling, wobbly walking, vomiting — if you see this, bun yourself to the vet ASAP!

Let’s keep summer bun-derful, not dangerous. Stay cool, drink up, and chill like Quinn — the ultimate not-dog 😎🌭💅

🎆😱 Fireworks? Oh my dog! It's almost that time of year again...

The 4th of July is just 4 weeks away—but let’s be honest, firework season tends to sneak in early and linger like your pet’s fur on black scrubs. 💥🐾

Our hospital cat Hannah and Dr. Barnstable were caught hiding under the counter today, practicing their "anxious pet" impressions. Safe to say... they nailed it. 🐱👨‍⚕️🙈 And not to be outdone—Avery who looks more like he could scare the fireworks instead. Don't let that fool you though, he is a very sensitive guy.

💊 If your furry friend gets nervous with all the boom-booms and pop-pops, now’s the time to schedule an appointment or request a refill for their anti-anxiety meds!

We’ve got pawsitively plenty of time to help them feel calm, cool, and collected before the sky starts sparkling. 🌟🐶🐕‍🦺

📞 Call us or log into your pet portal today. Let’s keep tails wagging—not trembling!

🌮🐹 Say hola to Taco the Hamster! 🐹🌮

This snack-sized squeaker came in for a checkup and completely zoomed into our hearts 💕 (at approximately 0.3 mph—he’s speedy in spirit!) 🏎️💨

His nurse Marilyn was on hamster duty and made sure Taco got the cheddar care he deserved 🧀✨ No spinning wheels here—just lots of snuggles, snacks, and squeaks! 💞

🔍 Hamster Fun Fact #1:
Hamsters can store food in their cheeks—up to 20% of their body weight! That’s like us walking around with a whole pizza in our mouth 🍕😮

🔍 Hamster Fun Fact #2:
They’re nocturnal, so don’t be surprised if your hamster is snoozing all day and redecorating their cage all night 🌙🛏️ (interior design is a 2 a.m. hobby!)

🔍 Hamster Fun Fact #3:
Hamsters’ teeth never stop growing—so they need lots of safe things to chew on to keep them trimmed! 🦷🪵

Taco was the perfect little patient—we’re not saying he’s the ham-star of the week… but we’re also not NOT saying it 🌟🎤

Got a pocket pet at home? From paws to claws to tiny jaws—we’re here for every kind of critter companion! 🐾🦎🦷💖
