The Fort Gets Soggy!!

As part of a fundraiser for The University Place SUNdogs group, Dave, the owner of Soggy doggy (a self service dog washing facility) graciously donated 100% of the proceeds from the night directly to SUNdogs, in order to help fund the new U.P. off-leash Dog Park. Five of the Fort Fido employees also went to Soggy Doggy, and donated time by helping families wash their pets and had a blast! 

Here are the pics, and big thanks to all who showed up! Your support is soo appreciated. :)

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.

Bath Time

Do you give your dog a bath at home? Sometimes I do. Other times, I take my pooch to The Soggy Doggy in University Place. For me, it is much faster, easier, and, I don't make a big old mess at home. Give the place a try and see how you like it.

If you do the Bath Time thing at home, checkout these articles I found. You might find a tip that will make the job more efficient...

You don't want you and your dog to end up like this every time the word "Bath" is uttered:
