Guten Tag, Jambo and Mingalarbar,
• Each Dog Will Have Its Day
One of the primary delights of LaundroMutt is, of course,
meeting the dogs. Large and small, smooth and furry, and they come in
a plethora of shapes and colors. Their prenomen incorporate local favorites
like Fenway and Manny to transoceanic monikers like Ceilidh and Tejal.
And the ancestry of each breed reaches to every corner of the Earth. When
observed as a whole, they comprise a fascinating assemblage that is unique
unto itself. The diversity of this canine society and their human counterparts,
is as unquantifiable as it is priceless.
Rin Tin Tin was a great icon and our Maya is an incredible
dog. However, LaundroMutt would be an incredibly boring place to be if
everybody only had German Shepherds.
• Bark N’ Bath: Helping Paws
It is that time of year again! Next Saturday, July 15th,
we will be holding the 2nd annual Bark n’ Bath Charity Dog Wash.
As was last year, we will be partnering with the host, Hotel Marlowe and
with PolkaDog Bakery. Proceeds benefit the Trust for Public Land. TPL
is a national, nonprofit organization that conserves land for people to
enjoy as parks, community gardens, historic sites, rural lands and other
natural places, ensuring livable communities for generations to come.
Hotel Marlowe is a dog friendly
hotel located in Cambridge. Maya and Brumby enjoyed a brief sojourn in
the hotel last fall; they give it an eight-paws-up and one tail wag (Aussies
don’t have tails).
LaundroMutt would love to have a few volunteers
to help the charity wash run smoothly. Please call us as soon as possible
if you would like to lend your expertise to this groovy affair.
LaundroMutt will still be open for your convenience
if you are unable to attend the Bark ‘N Bath.

• Skunk Hotline… gone cold.
We regret to inform the members of our skunk syndicate
that the hotline in now defunct. The fact is: the lady of the House of
LaundroMutt is expecting. While this summoned much excitation amongst
the ranks with the coming additions, there were some quid pro quos that
had to be addressed. Besides the “no more lifting” for Elizabeth,
we also realized that the Skunk Hotline could no longer be a viable service.
Normally, if we received a call on the big red phone, we would both be
waiting at LaundroMutt to enable to you to de-skunk your pooch. But now,
a certain someone is going require to all the rest she can extract from
the night. And the other certain someone will be out on orders to find
exotic and unique concoctions that no person in a normal state would ever
consider ingesting.
Please take note that this only applies to the after-hours
service. As always, the De-skunk service will be on the LaundroMutt menu
during regular business hours for your olfactory needs.
• Central America… here he comes.
We are sad to announce that one of our valued employees
is leaving LaundroMutt. Jamie has decided to leave New England and live
his own version of The Motorcycle Diaries… sans the motorcycle…
and in Central America. Jamie has been on duty for a little over a year
now; he will be undoubtedly missed. Although we will fill his position,
we will not replace him. Vaya con Dios!
• Mark Your Calendar
It was a tough decision. But in the end we realized
that the sun will continue to rise and set, the grass will still grow
and life will continue. The dogs will just have to deal with being dirty
for an extra week because LaundroMutt will be closed for the last week
in August through Labor Day weekend. Although we do love what we do, it
is time to give the staff a respite.
The shop will be closed from August 28th through September 4th.
• Picks of the Months
We are trying something new at LaundroMutt. We will now have monthly feature-products in the store in which our newsletter recipients can receive a discount. To qualify, just mention the newsletter discount for the product in the applicable month. It's just that simple!

Olly Dog Presidio Collars. Summer is hot…
at least it should be. Most dogs swim… whether we plan on
it or not. Heat + Wet Dog + Permeable Collar = unpleasant, odoriferous
emanation. Solution: The Presidio Collar made with BioThane material.
BioThane is a durable material created by coating a nylon strap
with urethane. It will not absorb moisture and is easy to clean
with a simple wipe down. Brumby has worn his in the ocean, ponds
and a couple of swamps (yep) and his still looks as good as new. |
