After the Dog Park? The Dog Wash, of course.

pictures via cell phone- sorry they aren't more clear.
Valentine's Day was beautiful and sunny. The last time we went to the dog park, it was way too soggy- the freeze-thaw cycle we have been getting here was brutal. But there had been no precipitation for a few days, and things seemed fairly dry here at home. We set off to play. A lovely Briard- a show dog, no less, and another mixed breed joined Boodles and Juniper- a great time was had by all. However, there was indeed mud. The undercarriage of both dogs was pretty well splattered. So off we went.

We have a coin-operated dog wash in town- It's pretty popular-a line formed while we were in there, and we followed one of the other dog park patrons.

The dial on the wall gives you several choices- two kinds of shampoo, a doggie deodorizer, and of course the blow-dry option.





After her bath, Boodles is as clean and shiny as a new penny. It usually costs about $6.00 per dog for a full bath- we just hit the underneath parts this time.


When you have the legs and feet of a Clydesdale, it's important to keep them clean.

For a different type of cleaning, go here- my sister sent this link to me.
