Happy Hills' Dog Wash

First thing, we set up the puppy pens and cages. Yes, Kitty was in the cage laying paper, but she wasn't adopted!	The puppies thought it was great being in a pen together and having lots of people giving them attention.  Many spent an hour or more outside the run, just being held.
Everyone loved the puppies!	What's more fun than a barrel of puppies? Nothing!
We had a whole row of puppy pens	We had a table with information and adoption contracts, as well as pictures of all our adoptable animals.
We didn't bring paperweights so we used dog biscuits.  It looked kind of cute!	Our smallest customer was this tiny Cocker puppy.  His "brother" was making sure we gave him a good bath!
We had warm water, and soap, and towels	But even then, the dogs weren't sure they were happy.
The puppies finally tired out.	And crashed out for a power nap. (Ouch, he had to wake up with a sore neck!)
Everybody pitched in and helped! Many of us got showers as the dogs shook like this one.  (we won't have to worry about having fleas)	Lots of people watched us give baths, to make sure we did it right!
Pet Supplies Plus helped us advertise, so several people just dropped in.
And Pet Supplies Plus even gave the puppies some tennis balls to play with!	Sassy's Brindle Boy was adopted, and will be a house dog.
Eventually even the volunteers tired out.	By that time, the puppies were awake again and ready for some attention.
The net result? We washed 19 dogs, adopted out 1 puppy, had 2 people become members, and raised $320.78.
We will do it again in the spring, so if you want to have this much fun, be ready!
And we'll close with a couple of pictures of the big puppy run at Happy Hills.  Cheryl converted an old horse pasture into one big run.
