Places I Love - Ollu

I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I didn't have one so I want to live vicariously through you. It's Monday... I just wanted to share with you one of my favorite places in my neighborhood. No, it's not a restaurant or clothing store. It's a self-serve dog wash. Some of you might be thinking, "Why would I pay someone to wash my own dog?" For people like me with hydrophobic, large dogs, it's a godsend. Ace HATES baths. He also weighs 65 pounds. Try to get a freaked out, heavy dog into your tub at home and tell me how it goes.

Doesn't he look happy?

I also love Ollu because of the people that work there. The owner, Jodel, is so nice. Most of the workers know Ace and say hi to him when we come in. Plus, it's a super cute local business within walking distance of my house. They have great specials all week which makes it more cost effective. They also have full service grooming and nail trims :) They even have a doggie blow dryer but Ace is a wuss and it scares him so we stick to towels. Best, best part? They clean it up for you! All the dog hair goes down their drains (not mine) and the water is easily pushed into a floor drain.

:)

If you live in the Twin Cities, head over there! I live only a couple blocks away so give me a ring and we can grab dinner or a drink too!

All clean!
