Dog Wash - August 25th 2001

Here are some photos taken at our 3rd Annual Dog Wash held on August 25th at Fresh Fields Whole Foods Market of Clarendon. A fun time was had by all! Thanks to Ana Kaahanui and Leslie Grabowski for the great photos.

Here's our first customer of the day, Casey the beagle pup, getting her first public bath. She loved it!
