😂🎉 How many Drake Center team members does it take to get to the center of a piñata?!
Apparently… almost the entire team 💪🪅

Swing after swing, laughter after laughter, that piñata was not giving up without a fight! Safe to say our teamwork is strong both in the hospital and on the dance floor. 😂💙

Note how our amazing team members were cheering each other on and encouraging people to take a turn, all while prioritizing safety! 😆 Now that’s - persistence, care, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun! 🐾🎄🎊

🍬 Shout out to our Veterinary Care Provider, Dayna, for finally getting the piñata to break!

🎄 Holiday Pet Safety Reminder 🐾
The season is full of sparkle, snacks, and cozy moments, but a few extra precautions can keep your pets safe and happy.

- Pet-proof decorations: Avoid tinsel, anchor trees securely, place fragile ornaments higher up, and keep wires, batteries, and candles out of reach.
- Watch festive foods: No chocolate, xylitol, raisins, alcohol, fatty foods, or bones.
- Be mindful of holiday plants: Mistletoe, poinsettias, holly, and amaryllis are toxic to pets. Keep them out of reach or choose pet-safe options.
- Winter safety tips: Use pet-safe salt, wipe paws after walks, watch for antifreeze spills, and remember - if it’s too cold for you, it’s too cold for your pet.

A little prevention goes a long way in keeping the holidays joyful for everyone. If you have questions, we’re always here to help. 🐶🐱✨

She cares deeply about our patients, is incredibly responsible, and brings so much heart to our hospital every single day. We are beyond lucky to have this sweet soul as part of the ✨
