Yo, suds up!

I would like to remind everybody about a great event Fort Fido has coming up... Partnering with The Soggy Doggy Dog Wash and SUNDogs, of University Place, The Fort is participating in the "Spruce Up Fido" Dog Wash fundraiser. It's going to be a blast, and we hope you'll all mark your calendars to attend.

It is on Tuesday, December 3rd, 2013 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The Fort Fido Crew will be there to wash your pooch for you, or with you, from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Normal Soggy Doggy wash rates will apply. All proceeds that The Soggy Doggy acquires, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, will be going to, and benefiting, the new off-leash dog park that the SUNDogs have in the works. When the Fort Fido hour begins, at 6:00 pm, all proceeds The Soggy Doggy takes in, will be donated to the SUNDogs, for the off-leash dog park project, on behalf of The Fort. Super cool!

For those that do not know, the current off-leash dog park, located on the Chambers Creek Properties, and "in" the golf course lol, has always been "temporary". It has basically been an experiment since its inception. Things have been going well with it over the past few years, so it looks like the people in charge will be allowing it to continue. So now it is time to get ourselves a permanent off-leash dog park spot! Which of course, requires some fundraising.

So please, come on down to The Soggy Doggy, December 3rd, anytime between 4:00 and 8:00 pm, to show your support for our cities off-leash dog park. We hope to see you there! Besides, it will be wayyy easier for you to let us wash Fido for you, or at least let us help you with the chore. It's never fun ending up like some of the canines and owners in this classic clip:

Hahaha!

Be well,

-Grant
P.S. Also, the UP Fire Department will be visiting with an engine that day, at 4:30 pm. At 5:30 pm, folks get a chance to meet up with University Place Council Member, Caroline Belleci... Last but not least, if you show up, you will receive a $2 off coupon for the ever-popular, Santa Paws Photo Shoot, happening on December 7th.

Hardy Holly

This morning we had the pleasure of assessing Holly. She is a nine year old, sixty-five pound, Yellow Labrador Retriever. Holly stayed with us in our Medium Roll, and did well. She is a dog park Veteran, well versed in "Dog Speak", and highly socialized. Holly was quite an asset to us today, due to her "mothering energy", she can handle any dog that comes her way... And she is especially good with young pups, of which, we have several in the Medium Play Area right now.

One neat fact, is that Holly's owners are the heads of the wonderful organization that is SUNDogs, in University Place. They are responsible for getting the city's lovely Dog Park on the Chambers Bay Properties. We have worked a bit with the SUNDogs group over the years, and truly appreciate what they do for the canine community. Our hats are off to them and their efforts! My dog Gibson loves running around down there at the off leash park, thank you!

Way to go today Holly, you are welcome at Fort Fido anytime! We look forward to seeing you for Overnight Boarding this summer.

Take care all,

-Grant
