Hello LaundroMuttans,
• Salutations
I started this newsletter many moons ago, fully intending
to post it in the beginning of October. CRASH!! There goes the operating
system on my computer. And for Pete's sake, it's a Mac! Only after grinding
half way through my molars, all is well and I have been allowed to pass
"Go". Anywho, on to the original newsletter-
We are one-year old! It is hard to believe that the
Earth has made an entire revolution around the sun since the first dog
wash. Oh the memories: faulty hot water heaters, flooded basements and
other “technical” difficulties. On the flip side, we have
met multitudes of incredible dogs and their people. With over five thousand
dogs washed, we are looking forward to the coming year and all it will
hold. We would also like send our thoughts out the dogs who are no longer
with us and to all the new additions. Cheers.
• A New LaundroMutt Service: “A Dog Day Spa”
We are very excited about our new service. Starting
on Wednesday, October 19th, LaundroMutt will be offering our four-legged
clients “A Dog Day Spa”.
This is an all-day affair that includes a luxurious spa bath, a long walk
and hours of playtime with friends in our BarkaLounge.
There is even an optional pick-up and drop-off Spa van! If your dog needs
more than just a bath, we can schedule a full-service grooming appointment
with Alana, our groomer. Other options
can include “pawdicures” and even dog massages by Cattie
Coyle. “A Dog Day Spa” will only be offered on Wednesdays
and Thursdays at this time. As we require a small ratio between dogs and
spa staff, only a small number of openings are available each day. When
your dog returns home after a “A Dog Day Spa”, he/she will
be clean, happy and dog-tired. We will even email you some photographs
of various activities throughout the day.
Now some nuts and bolts about “A Dog Day
Spa”. All dogs must be spayed or neutered and must not be socially
aggressive. They must be up-to-date on all vaccinations, including rabies,
bordetella (kennel cough), etc. Lastly, all Spa candidates must go through
an informal interview with our Spa Staff (both human and dogs) to ensure
a cohesive and convivial environment. Look for a webpage
on our site in the next week with more details and pricing. Until then
give us a call about prices and reservations.
• Halloween Bone Yard Bash
Come trick or treat and howl for Halloween at LaundroMutt.
On Sunday, October 30th, from 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. we will be celebrating
All Hallow's Eve. Dogs dressed in costume can participate in fun games
and activities to win cool prizes! Of course, we will also be keeping
an eye out for The Great Pumpkin to rise from the pumpkin patch.
• Somerville Dog Park Meeting: Recap
We hope many friends of Somerville dogs attended
the community meeting earlier in October. At the meeting the proposed
plans for an off-leash recreation area at Nunziato Field were presented
to the community. Somerville needs support for the plans in order for
the proposal to continue forward and become a reality. Keep checking our
website or go to SomDog
to stay up-to-date on the progress.
• Planning Ahead: Pet Portraits for the Holiday Season
Mark your calendars and sign up
for your Pet Portrait session with La Muse Photography. Dana Berenson
will be photographing in-studio sessions at LaundroMutt on Saturday, November
12th and Saturday, December 3rd. Dana is offering a limited special rate
discount for LaundroMutt customers, so be sure to sign up early! Call
us to book your session today.
Cost: $65 per session which includes two 4X6 prints and two 5X7 prints.
• Pick of the Month
We like our logo. We like our T-shirts. And we
love it when our clients send us pictures of themselves wearing our T-shirts.
October’s pick of the month is the LaundroMutt T-shirt. Not only
do we carry our “classic” design in four different colors
and two different styles, but we also have our 2005 “artist”
limited edition. The “artist” edition has a stylist retro
design; we only had 70 printed. When they are gone… they are gone
for good. By the way, if you travel to some fun locale, take a picture
wearing your LaundroMutt apparel. Send us the photo and we will add it
to our travel section. We want to see
where and how far the LaundroMutt name can travel.
