Dog Wash







This past weekend, my friend T and I took our dogs out to Sudbury for a charity dog wash. The weather report was kinda sketchy......scattered thunderstorms during the day. We decided to go to lunch at All Star Sandwich Bar in Inman Square before the dog wash (by the way....Yummy! Have to go back and try a gazillion more sandwiches http://www.allstarsandwichbar.com/). On the drive over to the sandwich place, the sky looked very ominous. Wasn't sure if the dog wash would happen.

Once we collected the dogs after lunch, and started the drive out to Metrowest, it started to sprinkle. Then rain a little bit harder. Damn! We were also cutting it close timewise....it was about 2:00 and it was supposed to end at 3:00. I thought maybe the dog wash people would have packed it up early if it started raining. Fortunately, when we got there around 2:30, it stopped raining and the sun came out again.

So, for $12 each (with the proceeds going to Save A Dog http://www.saveadog.org/), our dogs got a lovely shampoo and condition courtesy of Laundromutt (http://www.laundromutt.com/). Laundromutt is a self service dog wash in Cambridge, near Fresh Pond.,....another place I need to check out. We chatted with one of the super friendly owners of LaundroMutt while the dogs shook all the water off of themselves. Then we went to the dog sundae bar.....where the dogs got Frosty Paws (special doggie frozen treats) and we could put about 12 different treats on top....biscuits, liver snaps and other various goodies......dog jimmies, if you will. The dogs loved it....well, maybe not the bath part, as evidenced by the picture I've posted. Jake definitely tried to make a break for it, mid-bath.

Love going to stuff like this!
