Hello LaundroMuttans,
• Gobble Gobble
The inevitability of winter is upon us… or at
least it is on the way. I must admit that it was quite peculiar to be
wrapping bushes in burlap for the oncoming weather while wearing shorts
and flip-flops last weekend. Another fact that may seem aberrant to many
of you is the release of our newsletter in the latter half of November.
This is our segue to bi-monthly publication. We just could not take the
pressure of a monthly edition any longer. Edmund Morrison once said “Like
stones, words are laborious and unforgiving, and the fitting of them together,
like the fitting of stones, demands great patience and strength of purpose
and particular skill.” Yep, what he said.
Occasionally, we may send you updates and notices if
there are important events or meetings that demand your attention. Other
than those communications, our next newsletter will be released in January,
2006. Until then, enjoy the rest of 2005.
• Doggie Massage
Saturday, November 19th (Tomorrow), Cattie Coyle
of Nimble Limbs will
be introducing and demonstrating canine massage in the Barkalounge. Massage
brings the same health benefits to animals as it does to people: it helps
to reduce stress, increase flexibility and movement, enhances circulation
and contributes to the overall ability of the body to function properly.
Cattie will be offering 15 minute mini-sessions throughout the day starting
at 10am and continuing on until 5pm. Some spaces are already filled. Call
LaundroMutt and reserve a session or walk in tomorrow and wait for the
next available opening. Maya, our German Shepherd, has already received
two massages. She speaks very highly of Cattie.
• Fresh Pond Evening Walking Groups
The days are short,
The sun a spark
Hung thin between
The dark and dark.
~ John Updike
As sunlight is quickly lost to the night, friends with
canines find themselves wishing they had company on their evening constitutionals.
Many people who do not shutter from the cold are concerned about walking
their dog alone after dark. We would like to take a proactive approach
to this problem. If you are interested in walking around Fresh Pond Reservoir
after work, i.e. after dark, we would like to volunteer our help. Email
or call us and we will put you in touch with other Fresh Pond comrades-in-arms.
Please indicate which days and at what times you would prefer to walk.
It is a great way to connect with and meet new friends and old.
• Mark Your Calender
LaundroMutt will be closed Thursday,
November 24th, for Thanksgiving. We postulated that very few people were
planning to wash their dogs on Thanksgiving day. We will, however, be
open on Friday, November 25th. Alana, our groomer, will be running the
shop that day; you and your pooch are sure to be in good hands.
• Pet Portraits
The perfect holiday gift: Dana Berenson of La
Muse Photography will be setting up a temporary studio in the BarkaLounge
on Saturday, December 3rd. Dana has been professionally photographing
dogs and animals of all shapes and sizes for many years in the Boston
area. The portraits are archival quality and available in a broad range
of sizes, from wallet to wall. Dana will also create custom holiday cards
from your photography session. Please call to reserve your session at
soon as possible. There are only a limited amount openings left on the
3rd.
• Pick of the Month
What was the only thing tougher than Superman?
Kryptonite. Well, LaundroMutt is now featuring dog beds made from Crypton
Fabric, a material that has similar indestructible features. With its
patented process, Crypton is leading the performance textile industry,
being the ONLY textile that is stain, water and bacteria resistant. The
key to the super fabric is its weaving process coupled with its proven
barrier, nothing gets through Crypton to the bedding… nothing. Muddy
Paws? Drool? Bring it on! Your canine companion will rest in style on
these fetching beds that resist the toughest stains and odors. They are
easy to clean and machine washable.
LaundroMutt will have beds in a variety of shapes,
sizes and colors. We will also be featuring a few beds upholstered with
designs by the photographer/designer William Wegman. The Shipment is on
its way and we are already taking orders now. So, if you are shopping
for a dog bed, give us a call or stop by at your earliest convenience.

For those of you who missed LaundroMutt featured
on the shows Chronicle and the Comcast Morning
Show, they are available for viewing on our Press page. The response
from the shows, especially Chronicle, was tremendous. Both stations did
a wonderful job.
Everyday we have new clients come in to LaundroMutt
who have been referred by a friend. Thank you for spreading the word.
Our clients are our best advertisement. After all, you helped make us
Best of Boston 2005. If you know of other dogs and their
