Dog Wash - August 2, 2008

Here are some photos taken at our 10th Annual Dog Wash on August 2nd at Weber's Pet Supermarket in Fairfax. The forecast that day was 100% chance of thunderstorm but our President is also an amateur weather forecaster and she decided we'd be OK and she was right! It was a little cloudy at times but we didn't get rained on at all. Of course some of us got wet in other ways...   In addition to washing, we offered nail clipping and ear cleaning.
Our thanks to the photographers, Mary Portelly and Yuliya Sysoyeva .


Our first customer of the day was Buddy - an SPCA alumnus owned by volunteer Orion.
