Suddenly, an animated version of Lena appeared on the screen, as she said, "Hi daddy! I'm getting ready to celebrate your big day. I'm staying hydrated and getting my steps in. I’m sure the tracker told you that."
"Guess what? In dog years, you're 385 years old, but you don't look a day over 55 to me. Love you, kisses!" the tiny pup concluded, as Consuelos was visibly shocked by the jaw-dropping clip.
