It
all began on an overcast day in March 2009. I had taken Harry to the dog
park where he proceeded to find the only goopy mud puddle in the place and
rolled until he was covered tip-to-tail in caked on mud. I didn't know
what to do and someone at the dog park told me about a self-wash dog store not
to far from where I was. I wrapped Harry (then 5 months old) in a towel
and off we went! Long story short, I LOVED the place, Harry, not so much.
After a couple weeks, and an inability to stop thinking about how cool it would
be to have a self-wash of my very own, I set out on a path to find a space in
Charlestown to open up what would become the first Durty Harry's Doggie Boutique
and Dog Wash. Over the past 2.5 years, we've made a lot of friends, had
some epic parties, began some really cool traditions (Apres Park and RUFF WEEK
FRIDAY'S to name a couple) and decided we wanted to take our show on the
road. Well, at least down the road, into Brookline's Coolidge Corner where
we will open our second location in August of 2011.
We so appreciate all the great dogs we help everyday, and are so excited to offer our services to a greater population. We look forward to seeing you soon!
