New Year's Eve 2009 dog wash

First the backstory.

We have a new community dog park, Estabrook, that held a Halloween costume contest. Diesel, Marvin, and I entered. Diesel and Marvin were Thing 1 and Thing 2 and I was the Cat in the Hat. Lucky for us we won second place! Our prize was a gift certificate to a local dog wash and coffee shop, Community Bark in Bayside.

On to today ...

There is no better way to start a new year that with clean beagles. Off we went to Community Bark. With our gift certificate we were treated to two SelfBark dog washes for Diesel and Marvin and an espresso drink each for Mark and I.

It was very well organized and the beagles weren't too awfully tortured by the experience. They even had "blueberry facials."

A very happy 2010 from Mark and I and the Blueberry Beagles!

Glad tidings 2009

A blessed Christmas to all and may 2010 bring bountiful love, joy, and laughter.

Love, Jackie, Mark, Diesel, and Marvin :)
