The Day We Washed The Dog:

So we washed our dog at the gas station.  Seriously.  They have a carwash that's fantastic! But we used the Dog Wash K9000 in the corner. ;)

 We've driven by this thing for 2.5 years and FINALLY decided to give it a try for the first time.  Alanna was SUPER excited to go and wash the dog!

I think even Asha was excited to get a wash.  She hopped right in and sat so nicely.

Then we turned the water on....

She was not happy, but let us wash her anyway.  And by "us" I mean "ME" because Alanna couldn't really reach that far down and Cie-J, well, I'm not sure what happened.  Next time, I'll wear a swim suit.

Asha HATED the dryer hose but Alanna insisted on helping since she could reach.

All in all, it was a success!  It took 12 dollars (6 of them were drying!) instead of the usual $60 we pay at the groomer.  I think we'll try it again for sure.

***Super COOL side story***

The machine has a card reader and accepts cash.  It wouldn't take our card and kept saying it was invalid.  Cie-J ran inside to get some cash from the ATM.  Two seconds later, two men came around the building and asked if I needed help with anything. I told them about our card not working and one of them took a twenty out of his wallet! I said no, but he insisted! Come to find out, he was the president of Stripes and he was there for the day! SO COOL! He also took several pictures of us washing our dog because he had never seen it used before. =)
