Doggy Wash for Royal Humane Society

This weekend was a busy one in Vancouver! Fire and Police Games, Gay Pride Festival and Parade, Powell Street Festival and so on and on… We in our lovely New Westminster had our own event 12 Street festival. To help raise money for Royal Humane Society we offered doggy wash by donation in front Playful Puppy Palace. Off Leash Photography was there documenting the event.. I would not miss photographing dogs having a bath, it was fun! I have to say that taking pictures of dogs among all the hands and legs of the people washing them was quite a challenge…many times the awesome shot was lost with somebody’s arm or bum getting between the lens and the dog… but here you go..this is what I managed to capture on the fly..

Again the day was hot and the pooches welcomed the cooling effect of the bath…however some of them did not like the shampoo to much..

Lisa and her husband Khris from Playful Puppy Palace organized the event with participation of Royal Humane Society represented by Stacy, one of many volunteers.

Small doggies ended up in the tub, big ones got showered on the sidewalk.

Lisa and Stacy were so delicate bathing the dogs that most of them did not mind at all and let the do what was needed.

Amazing new product has emerged at the event SlurPuppies (name given by Lisa’sĀ  8 year old daughter)… these were Slurpees for doggies in two flavors chicken and beef. On the photo above the rottie is trying to decide which one is better..

After the bath each dog got a nice piece of doggy cake..hence the tongues sticking out.. one might have thought that the dogs were sticking the tongues at us..were they??!

Some of the pups had more areas to cover…

It is not the same dog on both sets of photos… these guys live together, but are not related…Lucky for me their leashes were different color otherwise I would not tell a difference..

I was a great day for a doggy bath and a good day for Royal Humane Society that got some of the much needed money. Thank you for all who came out and had fun with us!
