Amo Non Lavare Canem (Dog Latin)

Dog Lady never wants to put on airs. Even she has problems dealing with her dog. The most nettlesome? Giving the dog a bath. It's become a soap opera. Dog Lady is shrinking violet when faced with her white dog's red-alert refusal to get into the tub. And she's tried everything -- from attempting to take a shower with darling, to luring him into the tub with freeze-dried liver chunks, which got awfully soggy and smelled awful. On the bath matter, Dog Lady has thrown in the towel. Sweetheart gets groomed every few weeks. The rest of the time he's dirty around the edges. But Dog Lady may try to grapple her grubby canine one more time at Laundromutt, a self-service dog wash and lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The idea is a great one in this booming age of trendy dog businesses. Laundromutt has stainless steel tubs, shampoo, blow dryers and a sitting area where you can watch Animal Planet if you have to wait. There's also treats and toys for sale.
