It's funny, but two of our Elves On a Shelf families had dog problems in their families, and you gotta love when the Elf On a Shelf comes to the rescue.

First, while Marco's family was out at a Christmas party, their dog decided that candy would be dandy, and indulged in a little, all right lot of candy! Marco must spend the "off season" with Hermie the Dentist, because he knows after lots of candy, a good tooth brushing is in order!

Mmmmm peanut butter flavored toothpaste too! I might have to try it. I'm assuming it's creamy and not chunky!

Meanwhile, Marty the Elf, well his family had to deal with the dog eating parts of the gingerbread house. Now we know that elves are really good at making things, right? After all, they make all of the toys that Santa delivers! So Marty went to work, taping the roof onto the gingerbread house!
